1. Create a blog with five talking points (bullets and text) about the five most important thoughts you want to convey about the novel and movie "All quiet..."
My own talking points might look like this:
• a transnational novel that shows human suffering on all sides of a war
• a young generation of women and men who were mislead by their elders
• a novel and movie without a happy end - a rare choice in today's media circus
• Erich Maria Remarque, an early playboy of sorts, became famous and famously wealthy on a single publication. Is there such a thing as being touched by a genius once?
• Simplicity and honesty of dialogue and narration make "All quiet on the Western front" an excellent read.
You need to have posts on the chapter group work, the character post, and the talking points. These are mandatory homework posts.
2. Select a topic and a century in the sign-up sheet. Groups will start presenting next week Oct. 17. Your group needs to have the presentation ready by that day. Sign up in the post below.
3. Do not forget the blog post about one of the characters of the novel.
See you on Wednesday. We may have a little quiz on the novel. Know your characters!
