All Quiet on the Western Front End Test -- Wednesday, October 15 (Quote Section) and Thursday, October 16 (Objective Section)

Yasmina Khadra novel -- We will discuss the project portion of the marking period end assessment during the week of October 20.  However, make sure you have been reading the novel!  Note the new due dates for the marking period assessment -- articles with paragraphs are due Monday, Oct. 27 and cultural analysis is due Wed., Oct. 29.

We will be doing some war poetry and viewing the film War Horse.  As this will close our unit of war literature, you will be writing a thesis paper focusing on the works studied this marking period.  However, we will most likely not begin this paper until the end of October/the beginning of November.
