¨Write a scenario with dialogue for a family who has taken shelter in the London subway from aerial bombing during the Blitz of 1940.  What are the parents saying to the children? What are the children asking their parents? How are the parents answering? The scenario should have enough dialogue so that the listener understands the emotions (example: fear, trepidation, anger, etc.) that the British might have felt during the Battle for Britain.

Invasion of the Soviet Union Option

Write a short dialogue, that illustrates a conversation between a Russian soldier and a German soldier.  The Russian soldier is willing to fight for Hitler against the Russian Army and Stalin, but the German soldier does not want to let him.  (Be as detailed as possible so we know what is the driving  force behind their decisions.)
