Give a brief description of the life in trenches:
Time travel: go back to 1914/18 (be careful it was a terrible time) and pretend to be a soldier on Britain's front.
Write a letter to your family, describing your daily life and your feelings.

See you back at school!

Here's the text analysis, print it and take it to school:
