Before students look at the images, review first person narration with them. Ask the students for examples of first, second, and third person narration. If you haven’t talked about the concept of voice already, introduce it now. One effective way to do this is to ask students what different voices they use in speaking. For example, how do they talk to the school principal? To their best friend? Or how do they talk to their mother when they want to stay up late vs. when they’re angry with her for enforcing a rule? Each of these is a different "voice" that can be used in different circumstances. The same kinds of voices can be used in writing.
This lesson will fall in the middle of the month-long unit on WWII and by that point the students will be familiar with the causes, geography, and participants involved in the conflict.
