HW Mr. Padilla 2.25.16


Homework:
Parents, please assist your child with today’s homework.

*In both cities (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) the blast totally destroyed everything within …1 mile from the center of explosion, except for certain reinforced concrete frames... The atomic explosion almost completely destroyed Hiroshima’s identity as a city. Over a fourth of the population was killed in one stroke and an additional fourth seriously injured, so that even if there had been no damage to structures….the normal city life would still have been completely shattered. Nearly everything was heavily damaged up to… 3 miles from the blast, and beyond this distance damage, although ….light, extended for several more miles. Glass was broken up to 12 miles.

Option 1: 
What other city was destroyed other than Hiroshima?
What was almost completely destroyed?
A casualty refers to people that are killed, injured or go missing during war.  What were the casualties in Hiroshima?

·      fourth= 1 out of every four.

Option 2:
Paraphrase the passage in 1-2 sentences. In other words, write the main idea of this passage using your own words. (To help you do this, remember to think of the 5W’s. But do not write the 5 W’s in your response).

Option 3: Throughout the entire month we have been reading and discussing about the real life experiences of many survivors.  Those who survived saw terrible things that they will never forget as long as they live.

Pretend you were a survivor.  Based on what you have learned this month, write a paragraph in which you describe some of the things you saw and how you felt. You may also draw to further express yourself.
