• Analyzed the German Schlieffen Plan-Before & During
• Read through and examined diagrams in a packet on Trench Warfare on the Western Front
• Students were asked to absorb as much of the information on trench warfare as they could, as they will soon be writing a Trench Story describing an attack on a trench system during WW I
• Found additional information, including videos, online illustrating and explaining trench warfare

1. Continue finding and reading and absorbing information on trench warfare on the Western Front
2. Be thinking about possible approaches to the trench story you will soon be writing.
