  War of the Worlds Articles and Script.

Your task today in class is to read along with the script and listen to the broadcast of The War of the Worlds.  We will also be reading the articles from the "towns" newspaper on the anniversary of the famous broadcast.
Your task is to respond to the broadcast in a letter to the editor about what you have heard on the radio.  In your letter to the editor you will explain your position on the issue regarding the broadcast.

WAIT TO RESPOND.  We will be reading an article about how people responded, so DON'T post anything until Friday.  You will need this background information to answer the questions.

Your letter will need to take the position of a person that.......

1. believed the broadcast and thought the earth was being invaded by the martians.
2. loved it as entertainment, and doesn't understand how people could have believed that this was real!

Your post - is due on Friday by 3:30 pm.  It must be in proper letter to the editor format.

Here is an example of what I am looking for.

Happy writing!
