2010 World War II True Stories
High School teachers should make the 2010 World War II True Stories contest as an assignment to their students. The contest aims to collect true accounts of Filipinos, both veterans and civilians, who survived WWII by interviewing them. Besides having a deeper understanding about the WWII era, students will have the opportunity to practice their narrative skills. 3 best narratives will be given prizes consisting of a PVB saving account and various computer equipment. That will probably get your students motivated.
