Suggest that you compare two war heroes: E.Choy and maybe Adnan Saidi
You need to MINDMAP qualities of heroism – and use the examples from the two above to illustrate how and why they are considered heroes
You need to discuss this and SHOW me the THINKING all your members have on this through posting on the blog
Plenty of resources here – esp audio clips of E.Choy and Photos
http://library.thinkquest.org/C002071/media.html
You should listen to the clips and maybe assign members to transcribe ( write) the impt parts of the interview or quote relevant parts and discuss what u can infer from it.
Lim Bo Seng War Diary is here: http://www.s1942.org.sg/s1942/dir_defence8.htm#Video
Some sources YOU CAN also use on other war heroes – maybe for discussion in your lesson
http://ourstory.asia1.com.sg/war/wbeng.html
Abt Malay Regiment – study the quote – what does it tell you abt their heroism? Look through the pages – many quotes that are relevant

- I don’t see much interaction here or even posting of feedback or ideas and response to ideas. There is very LITTLE evidence of discussion amongst group members.You would know if you have read my email about the rubrics that MARKS are given for this and you WILL LOSE a lot of marks if you DON’T IMPROVE this blog asap.
- I also don’t see individual post on reflections on learning so far, like based on trip, course, research done so far. This reflection is VERY IMPT – SHOW your THINKING and ability to use knowledge and skills from different subjects ( Eng Multiliteracies like visual literacy, photo journalism , video and storyboarding skills and use of language to tell a story, to explain, to persuade , to influence others point of view /emotions etc and History knowledge and SKILLS of inference, reliability etc)
