Today we finished reading Chapter 9, and had some work time on our chunk practice.
Chunk practice for Chapters 7-9 are due on Monday online at 3:59pm. Today we finished watching the film and dove right in and started reading Chapter 9 of All Quiet on the Western Front.
Reminder: Remember how I said taking notes on the film was important? Make sure you save them, because you will need them next week. Today in table groups you compiled the top three things you noticed/responded to in the film yesterday. We discussed these as a class, and continued watching the film.
Today we began class discussing in your table groups the major differences between the film and the novel, as well as those things that were the same, or met your expectations as a viewer. We shared out as a whole class. Then we continued watching the film (which is actually more violent than we were expecting for 1930), still taking notes.
Today we began watching the 1930 film version of All Quiet on the Western Front. It won an Academy Award for Best Picture. We took notes on the film, focusing on the similarities and differences between the film and the novel.
Today we watched two TED talks by author/journalist Sebastian Junger. We connected his stories of American soldiers returning home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to Paul and his fellow soldiers in All Quiet on the Western Front.
