Visible Thinking Routine

I am thinking of the rescue of 669 Czech children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia from the viewpoint of Nicholas Winton: 

 

When I saw the starving faces of the soon-to-be-dead Jewish kids I started to work on a plan to get them to safety straight away. Their faces were sullen for they knew that the Nazis were hunting them down one by one. Their bones stuck out of their skinny bodies like sticks in a bag. I instantly wanted to help them. That night I wrote the names, genders and other details of hundreds of helpless children so that they could safely get into Britain. I started an organization to get as many Jewish children safe passage into Britain, I feel like any decent minded person would of done the same thing. Throughout the countless months we worked long and hard transporting the children in the "Kindertransport" (the transportation that we used to get the Jewish children into Britain safely). When the "Kindertransport" arrives in Britain foster parents are there waiting to pick them up. This series of events repeated itself until thousands of children had been saved from the cruel grasp of the unforgiving hand of the evil Nazis and the despicable Adolf Hitler. I felt as if I had made a huge difference in the world today and that was my goal. To make change for the greater good. 

 

A question I have from viewpoint is: 

 

I wonder what other's think of this feat I made, do they think I did a good job or do they think I could of saved more children. 

How did he really feel about what he did in the world is he super proud of just happy with what he did. 

 

Wrap up:  

 

Idea =  Since Nicholas Winton is a humble and notable person he thinks that anyone that is even slightly a good person will obviously do the same thing that he did. 

  

  

 

I am thinking of the rescue of 669 Czech children from the Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia from the viewpoint of one of the kids that were saved: 

 

I remember the usual night on the run. The cold winters nights outside in the darkness dreaming of what will happen when the Nazis finally catch up to me. Foodless days without a single drop of water to stop my parched lips from bleeding. It was the life when you're a Jew. It was another horrific day of hiding in the shadows and praying that my family was safe, when I saw a man staring at me. He had round glasses and wore a long coat that stretched down to his waist. He came up to me and all the other starving children and said "I promise to try my very best to free you all from your unfair suffering. From then on I noticed children being taken away by men throughout the months, I wondered where they were being taken, I wondered what they were doing to them, I wondered when it was my turn. Finally, a man came up to me and took me by the shoulder and hauled me up onto a massive train. The train had the name Kindertransport scrawled upon the side in paint. I didn't feel like these mysterious people were trying to do any harm to my so I felt kind of safe. Well, anything was better than those sleepless nights on the run. When the  train ride ended I came off to find two people, one male and one female waiting for me at a station. They took me to their home and explained everything. The man I saw with the round glasses was the heroic Nicholas Winton, the man that saved us all and the man that shall now be known as my hero. 

 

 A question that I have from this viewpoint is: 

 

I wonder if all the children that got saved by the organization that Nicholas Winton made know that he saved them. Or are they just dumbfounded that they got saved in the first place. 

 

Wrap up: 

 

Idea = Those kids that were saved by Nicholas Winton were very, very, very grateful because they would of died horrific deaths of it wasn't for Nicholas Winton. 

 

I am thinking of the rescue of 669 Czech children from the Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia from the viewpoint of myself (Oliver Pham): 

 

I think that the rescue of those 669 kids was absolutely amazing and that Nicholas Winton should be very proud of himself. He first started to formulate this organization that saved all these kids when he visit Prague with his friend. Throughout his visit to Prague he saw starving, homeless and desperate kids straggling for life, and since Nicholas was such a benevolent person he immediately decided to help those poor kids. That night he stayed up late into the night and wrote down hundreds of details of all the kids that were being hunted down by the Nazis. This show the devotion that Nicholas Winton had to saving all those kid's lives'. Then he created and entire organization to give those kids an actual chance in life. Imagine if you were starving, depressed and about to suffer even more, but then, a nice man came up and out of the goodness of his heart saved you all from extinction. He devoted his hours after work to saving hundreds of children by giving them safe passage right into Britain. He was so determined that he even arranged foster parents to pick them up once the Jewish children had entered Britain. He did all of this to have children's lives. I think that he had made a colossal difference in the world with this feat. Now 669 children that are now on earth have had the chance to live properly because of one man... Nicholas Winton. 

 

A question I have from this viewpoint is: 

 

I wonder if Nicholas Winton and the people that were saved think the same way as I do (Nicholas Winton was  an amazing person). 

 

Wrap up: 

 

Idea = I think that it is most likely that the people that Nicholas Winton saved are the most appreciative towards Nicholas Winton because their lies were the ones he saved.
