Part 1: Students will take steps to prepare SWS (Story Within the Story).  Take out your article.

Mr Clark's Example (2 page article):

List 10-12 Crucial Aspects of Story. 

Mr. Clark's List:
USA emotionally hurt by PH Bombing
James Doolittle has idea to retaliate
Strike back with bombers - Plan was BOLD
Bomb 4 cities with 16 planes, 4 bombs each
Training was intense
Doolittle took off first - April, 1942
Doolittle was a true leader
Japanese citizens cheered them on - Fascinating
Dropped bombs flew until fuel was gone
4 men captured and executed
Raid worked - psychological victory for USA

Mr Clark's Write-Up: (100-150 words)  Conciseness is key skill.

Indeed I do!  A retaliatory strike on Japan, the home island - It was bold, brave and a little crazy-
but it worked.  Sixteen B-25 bombers would be launched from US aircraft carriers and hit
Japanese cities. After intensive training the attack was set for April 18, 1942.  Lt Colonel James
Doolittle, the mastermind behind the plan, feeling fellow pilots were a bit antsy, took off first.
Bold and brave!

Each plane carried four bombs - targeting four Japanese cities, Tokyo being the main target.  
Doolittle and his crew flew so low that Japanese citizens cheered, thinking they were fellow
Japanese. Wrong. The bombs hit their targets, the planes ventured away to escape.
The crews flew until they ran out fuel, most made it to safety to China, four men were captured
and executed.  The damage incurred was minor but it was a psychological win for America, we
had struck back! We had avenged Pearl Harbor.

Let's have a listen to how this is within the WWII Podcast.

Now, students need to list the important aspects of their SWS on the workspace document.

Part 2: Switching back to the main story

Organize your story--how will you tell it? Fill out this sheet in

hard copy. One per group.

Part 3: The writing begins

Each group member will write an introduction to their
podcast.This is to be done on the workspace document.

HW: Complete any tasks that are as yet incomplete:

*SWS musts

*Introduction (each individual is responsible for his/her own)

*Read your soldier's story another time--you must be at a point

where you can retell the soldier's story without it in front of you
