• You can choose to write from the perspective of one of the following characters:
  • a German soldier
  • a Japanese-American citizen
  • a Russian soldier
  • an American woman working to support the troops
  • a British citizen living in London during the bombings, or
  • a Government Official making decisions about their country’s activity in the war
• What do you want the rest of the world to know about your experience as that person during WWII?
• Explain why you think the way you do as that person.

Make sure you use evidence to support the facts and actual events referenced in your article.
