Trench Warfare + All Quiet + Trench Story


Today the Grade Eighters:
  • Continued analyzing diagrams & pictures showing trench warfare on the Western Front in World War I - This is what the American doughboys would encounter when they finally arrived "Over There" in 1917.
  • Viewed the first few minutes of the movie, All Quiet on the Western Front, noting the brutality of trench warfare and how, by favoring the defense, it led to the 3.5-year stalemate on the Western Front
  • Began writing their 1000-word (minimum) Trench Story, creatively and realistically applying what they are learning about trench warfare.

Assignment for Wednesday - Continue working on your Trench Story. - Due Thursday.
