Account of a
Confederate Soldier
who does not want
chocolate.
Students can get into pairs and discuss the
advertisement. It might be interesting for them to
compare this holiday ad from the 1900’s to an ad
they might see during the holidays today. (Print or
Television)

After the teacher reads the relevant portions of the
diary to the students, they can write a story about
what would have to happen for them to never want
chocolate again.

(When do you think this picture was taken? How

There are several options for this poster. One is for
students to write a story using the picture and the title
as a prompt. Another is to have students discuss if a
woman could really have a chocolate soldier as a
friend. The teacher may also tell them the premise of
the play and have them design their own poster; the
real poster would not be revealed until the children
were done with their design.
