You have ONE job to do for English over the holidays. To wrap up our work on The Machine Gunners, you need to research and prepare a short talk (3 minutes-ish) on any aspect of the Second World War which interests you.
The possibilities are nearly endless:
- How the war began and ended
- Medals and honours
- Women at war
- Allies and Axis
- Collective efforts on the Home Front
- Children's experiences
- Hitler
- Soldiers' experiences
- Dig for Victory
- Home Guard
- Gas masks
- Any aspect of Army/Navy/Air Force
- Holocaust
- WW2 fashion
- Atomic bomb
- Shelters
- How people in Scotland experienced the war...
The list could go on and on...
If you don't have PowerPoint at home for pictures, that's fine. You are mainly being assessed on your ability to speak to a group. If you are more comfortable working with pictures (remember, there should not be a lot of text up there!), you could try using Prezi (prezi.com), which is just as easy, but a step up from a PowerPoint.
So in summary: prepare a talk which you will be able to deliver from 20th April.
I'm really looking forward to what you all come up with!
Have a lovely holiday :)
good job,,
