How I made my amazing Letter home.
When ms Willemse leaves she always puts us to some type of task to keep us occupied for a little while. This this she gave us quite a bit for work too do. One of the many things she made us do a soldier diary entry. But I kinda did a twist too mine. At the moment she doesn’t really know about. Instead of doing a Diary Log type thing, I did a soldiers letter home. Even though I didn’t do an diary entry I made it the same way as someone who would have.
So to start off I need to find a deceased war veteran from WWI. To do this ms Willemse kindly gave us a link to the Canada’s Veterans site. After a while, I found a solider with enough information on him/ a solider that I knew I could represent in a good way. At this point I gathered all the information I could about him.
Now I had to analyze the information I had.
So I started reading the primary sources we were given, in my case two newspaper articles
The parts that are highlighted is the beefy part of the information I used.
At this point I had everything in order and I just had to make the final product. I found this the hardest part because when ever I asked someone to read my draft they went about ten words in and said I sounded to much like Nolan. So the hardest part of this project for me was escaping Nolan and trying to become James Lynch.
