School subjects
Students choose a wartime leader and write a short “biography” of that person. Students will then write a fictional journal entry for that leader on the day before the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Students will discuss which activity was more challenging, and why. This activity could be adapted to look at an individual soldier and examine the thoughts and fears of the ordinary men on the eve of D-Day.
