The document provides instructions for a school assignment involving creating a blog about being a person involved in a specific war from a first-person perspective. Students are asked to: 1) Create a blog on WordPress and write 4 blog entries over 4 days about experiencing the war from the perspective of someone who was there. Each entry must be in first person and discuss feelings and experiences, addressing a different aspect of the war or what it was like to be involved. 2) Find 10 pictures related to the war and create a PowerPoint with captions explaining the significance or context of each picture. The PowerPoint should then be embedded into one of the blog entries.

1. 1) Create a blog
Go to wordpress.com and create a blog. You need to have four entries over four different
days about your War. Each entry needs to be in the first person and you will pretend to be
a person in that War and commenting about what you feel and experience. Each entry
needs to be different and take grasp of a different aspect either your War or being in a
War situation. This will require research of your War. Each entry will be 2 paragraphs of
at least 5 sentences each.
What are your surroundings?
Who is fighting with you?
Are you in the “trenches” or at a base?
What is your rank?
Do you have family at home that write you?
What date is it?
Are you fighting in any special place or time for the war?
Think of your technology (electrical and weapons) you are using.
Can you make it story like?
Are you making friends?
What events happened in the war already?

2) Create a PowerPoint pictorial and embed it into a blog entry
Find 10 pictures on the web that concern your war. Some will be drawings and
some will be current day photographs of important places…like Valley Forge or
something like that. Each picture needs a caption that tells why it is important or specific
for that time period. Then you need to create an account at slideshare.net and upload your
presentation.
