For literacy today, my activity was to write a diary entry from the ANZAC soldier's point of view. I wrote mine about when the ANZAC soldiers first landed at Gallipoli. I had to write this from a 1 person view.
Hello Diary
Today is my first day at Gallipoli and my first sight was the worst thing I have ever seen: dead bodies lined up on the beach, the injured under cliffs the size of mountains, and blood was just everywhere. It is my first day of training in the trenches and I got to hold my rifle for the first time for real.
The trenchers are just terrible, they smell like rotten canned meat and blood, and when we were fighting my friends were dropping left right and center. Any sort of fun and adventure was wiped from our minds. The food is horrible here, canned meat and hard biscuits. The taste of my own sweet was as disgusting as salty seawater. Even though the food is horrible we eat all of it because we get so little.
The noise all around me is constantly ear piercing, the shouting, the guns, and the cries for help. The gun fires are as loud as a heavy hail banging on a tin roof, Rattata Rattata. Now I just wish I never joined the army.
Do you know anything about the Gallipoli war?
