All Quiet on the Western Front Dates

Dear Students, 

Some of you are a struggling with the plot of All Quiet on the Western Front.  The following link will help you become an active 9 Honors reader: 

 http://www.glencoe.com/sec/literature/litlibrary/pdf/all_quiet.pdf 

I must remind you that a quiet reading area without distractions and reading earlier in the night will be beneficial to you when completing a novel for 9 Honors.  You may also want a notebook by your side to jot down notes, passages, and even characters.  The activities in the above link are not required; however, it will be helpful for you to review each activity before you begin reading each section.  A reading guide link, such as the one above, is much more appropriate for a 9 Honors student.  Using SparkNotes, Pink Monkey, Schmoop, etc. do not allow you to work on your critical thinking skills and literature analysis skills.  Such sites simply summarize and tell you what to think.  Please stay away from such sites.

Chapters 1-4
Due Monday, Oct. 15:

Due Thursday, October 18:
