Step 1: Find a person
There are a lot of recorded interviews available of people who experienced World War II, either as soldiers, civilians, or as prisoners.
Requirements for your person:
• Must have been over 18 years old during the war (no children)
• Can be American, French, British, Chinese, Russian, Japanese, or German
• Must have been either a soldier, civilian, or prisoner during the war
• Must be a man or a woman (no animals)
• Must have a video or audio interview available (that Mrs. Coslett can access, too)
• Does NOT have to be related to you, you do NOT have to personally know this person. You do NOT have to personally interview the person.
Step 2: Background Information
Once you choose a person, try and find out as much information about your person as possible, such as:
• Hometown
• Graduation from high school & college
• Unit served with (if a soldier or military nurse)
• Where they served (if a soldier or military nurse)
• What important events were they involved in (if a soldier or military nurse)
• When and why, they joined (if a soldier or military nurse)/ Why they did not join if civilian
• What they did after peace was declared
• Any other information you can think of including or find interesting about their life
Step 3: Your Opinion
Be sure you can answer these questions about your person.
• What influence do you think your person held during the war? What about after the war?
• Do you feel that your person was given the recognition he/she deserved during his/her lifetime?
• Why did you choose this person over the other people available?
Step 4: Write
Now that you have gathered all the data, it is time to compile it so Mrs. Coslett can read about your person, too!
Your paper will need to be:
• 4 pages minimum, 6 pages maximum in length
• Double spaced
• Typed in either Times New Roman, Courier New, or Calibri
• Typed with Font Size 12
• Aligned to the Left margin
• Be sure to include the information from steps 1, 2 and 3.
• You will also want an introductory paragraph and a conclusion paragraph.
• Also, be sure to include your reference page (not part of your minimum 4-page requirement because it always comes as the last page) to tell where your interview came from and any other additional material.
