Based on the war hero assigned to you/your group, read the relevant texts and respond to the questions (columns 1-7).

Type your group's responses in a new post. 
Be sure to indicate the following:

•  in the title of the post: the name of the war hero assigned, your group number and group members' names, e.g. Lim Bo Seng (Group 1: Sam, Ben and Joy)
• in the body of the post: your group's responses in point form/short sentences. Each post should reflect only one idea. If your group has more points, you may create more posts. 
  • For groups working on the same war hero, try to avoid repeating points raised by the other group.

Be ready to present your work at the end of the discussion.

Duration: 20min
