UPDATED: Thank you for the feedback A PowerPoint presentation designed to have students write an original piece for the topic 'What qualities do you think the ANZACs possessed that enabled them to endure the Gallipoli Campaign.' The presentation provides images and information to help students understand what conditions were like at Gallipoli. I would suggest that you also find some simple YouTube clips to show. Once the information is presented to the students they are prompted to create a mind-map before staring on their writing.
