Question
Benjamin is giving a presentation about World War I. He wants to use a movie clip of a war scene and interview his neighbor whose great uncle fought in World War I. Write a 3-5 sentence paragraph explaining why Benjamin should rethink using these sources, and what he should use to replace them.
1 answer
Benjamin should rethink using a movie clip of a war scene in his presentation about World War I because it may glamorize or distort the realities of war. Similarly, interviewing his neighbor's great uncle may provide a biased or limited perspective of the war. Instead, Benjamin should consider using primary sources such as letters, photographs, or diaries from soldiers who actually fought in World War I. These sources would offer a more authentic and firsthand account of the experiences and conditions during the war.
