My ANZAC Letter To My Family
For our Literacy Contract this week we had to pretend we were an ANZAC Soldier, fighting in the War. The letter went like this:
Dear Family
I am in Gallipoli now and its dreadful. The people around me are amazing. They are just like me, fighting for freedom for our future generations. I cannot explain how dreadful it is here and how much I miss you. I can't hear anything as the bombs fly over me. I am starving, tired, and thirsty. Sleeping is horrific, its noisy and Worms, Rats, and Grubs keep crawling over me in the night. My thoughts of home give me strength, for I think about how safe you are away from here. Please take care of yourselves, I love you so much.
Love Soldier Dad.
This was, in my opinion, pretty hard to write because I have never experienced stuff like this before and I have no idea what it would be like fighting in the War. I think the best part was researching all of the things that soldiers had experienced in the War. This was one of my favorite tasks.
