Day #5 Wednesday 3/11

Day #5:
Let's start with a highlighting activity:
Pink-Exposition either background on your soldier or background on the battle

Take out your EXPOSITION paragraph relating to the battle your soldier fought.  Please read each others’ paragraph and look for similarities and differences. Look for strengths and weaknesses.  

If your group feels there is still important WWII information missing take 15-20 minutes to investigate your topic using the books in the class.  

By the end of the first period your group should have a FINAL version of EXPOSITION that deals with specific military historical context. Place this final version on a google doc you are naming Final podcast (your names). Share it with me. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are there are other parts that need to be included in the EXPOSITION?  Yes!

You have set the military context for the US being there, now you have to introduce us to your soldier. Who is he and how does he end up being in the situation that is about to face him? What other background information will make his story more interesting? Re-read your story for that information.

It’s time to put that important background information on sticky notes.  Some groups may have 2-4 pieces of evidence while others have 5-7. It truly depends on the story you read.  

Decide which personal background information needs to be included in the EXPOSITION?  Organize the stickies. Determine which should come first, your soldier’s background or the military background? Place stickies in order you will retell.  Now, your plot diagram should include all of the context necessary to understand the magnitude of the story we are about to hear. WRITE THIS OUT on your final podcast document.

HW: Finish the whole exposition. Military and soldier background.
