daily post #3

My action was to get as many photos and information as I could. Today I got a couple of pictures and made some posts. What I did today helped me answer my question beacuse I found out information on my question. My next action will be to find even more information and to start making a script.

seven questions

1. My research question is what was the soldiers experience during the beginning of the Normandy beach invasion?
2. The form of which our final product will take is a movie. I am planning on making a movie that is 15 mins long about the beginning of D-day June 6 1944.
3. I chose to do a movie because it's the only way to really answer my question. Scrapbooks, and other things would work as well but a movie would be more fun to make.
4. The definition of the finished product will be a 15min movie showing the U.S. landing on shore of Normandy, fighting against the German defences.
5. Making the movie will help us answer the question because it will visually show the soldiers experience landing on shore during D-Day.
6. The breakdown of my movie is to make a script, buy the equipment we need, and start on the movie.
7. My next action for this film will be to create a script.

Today, we researched and wrote a list of things we need. The research I did today, helped answer the question, of "what was the soldiers experience during the beginning of the Normandy beach invasion?" By next class I would like to have information set and get things started as soon as possible. :)
