1. Read the story carefully to yourself.

4. In the text, we are led to believe that Harry kept in contact with Ted by sending him postcards. In the text, there is a cell that is a picture of Harry standing alone looking out at sea and the next cell has one of his mates asking, "Hey Harry, a penny for your thoughts?" If Harry was to write Ted a post card that same night, what do you think he would say?
Write Harry's letter to Ted. Remember to keep is short (4-6 sentences) because it is a postcard! Then, post it on your blog with one or two paragraphs describing the war from Harry's perspective. Be sure to include something you found interesting about the Chalk Kiwi.
