ANZAC Freeze Frames

This friday, after our ANZAC Assembly we spent some time reading (The Bantam and the Soldier) and discussing what life in the trenches would have been like. We have seen a lot of time this week looking at photographs from the Gallipoli Campaign so today we used our knowledge of drama elements: space, and focus to create a series of freeze frames.

Make a comment below and tell us what you think of our freeze frames. Can you see the different parts of trench life we showed in our freeze frames?
