Day 3, Wednesday - Will the Real Sadako Sasaki, Please Stand Up, Please Stand Up

Please visit the wikipedia link about the true real life of the protagonist of our book, Sadako Sasaki, and answer the questions below.  Write your answers on a sheet of paper titled 'Sadako's True Story'.  This paper will be part of your poster, so keep it safe and make it beautiful!

1. How old was Sadako when the atomic bomb was dropped in Hiroshima?

2. What were the very first symptoms of her illness, leukemia?

3. What was the reason that her family took her to hospital?  How is this different than the book?

4. What did Sasako make the cranes out of?  Why?

5. How many paper cranes did Sadako complete?

6. What were the last words of Sadako?

7. What was done as a tribute after her death?

8. What is the significance of August 6th in Japan?

9. Paragraph answer:  As you have discovered, the true story of Sadako has different details than the book you read in class.  Why do you think the author changed these details, and do you think it is O.K. that she did this and still called this a 'true story'?  Explain your answer.

10. At the foot of the statue of Sadako there is a plaque that reads: "This is our cry. This is our prayer. Peace on Earth."

What does it symbolize for you? Answer this question by using the 'comment' box below.  Write your name, your class and your answer tonight on this blog!  Your teachers will be reading the answers tomorrow in class and discussing them.

    I THİNK THİS SYMBOLİZE THAT THE WAR İS OUR BAD. NOT OTHER PEOPLE's BAD.AND ALSO İT MEANS PEOPLE NEED PEACE .AND THEY TELL US THAT SADAKO İS AN EXEMPLE.I THİNK WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THİS.
