Reading Assignments: Divide your novel into four sections - by pages or chapters. **Post the schedule below on your wiki page with your pages/chapters due filled in for each class.**

Class 39 World Literature Circles - Meeting #1 Pages / Chapters Due: 1-3 Reflections: After each world literature circle discussion, please complete the following reflection in complete sentences on your page. (Clearly label each discussion reflection.) **What was the most interesting idea or insight that was discussed in your group meeting today?**Describe the discussion in as much detail as you can, noting the ideas various members came up with as well as any follow-up questions that were asked. (This reflection needs to be a paragraph in length.)

Today's discussion was very impressive. We talked about significance of passages, connections between "All Quiet on the Western Front" and other books that we have read so far. However, I think the most interesting idea during discussion was discussing about the theme. I basically wrote that in All Quiet on the Western Front, the theme is "the impact of war on soldiers" because the book shows us a lot of negative effects during war. Others wrote similar as me, such as harsh life on soldiers.

Class 41 World Literature Circles - Meeting #2 Pages / Chapters Due: 4-7 Reflections: After each world literature circle discussion, please complete the following reflection in complete sentences on your page. (Clearly label each discussion reflection.) **What was the most interesting idea or insight that was discussed in your group meeting today?**Describe the discussion in as much detail as you can, noting the ideas various members came up with as well as any follow-up questions that were asked. (This reflection needs to be a paragraph in length.)

Today's discussion was not bad, but I think we need to cooperate each other more. We wasted a lot of time on passages. Therefore, we didn't have much time doing other things such ass 6- traits. connection, themes,.. etc. However, since we talked a lots about passages, we fully understand how these passages might be important, puzzling, curious, provocative, dubious, or well written. Class 43 World Literature Circles - Meeting #3 Pages / Chapters Due: 8-10 After each world literature circle discussion, please complete the following reflection in complete sentences on your page. (Clearly label each discussion reflection.) **What was the most interesting idea or insight that was discussed in your group meeting today?**Describe the discussion in as much detail as you can, noting the ideas various members came up with as well as any follow-up questions that were asked. (This reflection needs to be a paragraph in length.)

Today's discussion was really good. We had a great time during the discussion. We first went through the passages. For the passages, I found out how Paul felt sympathy for the Russian soldiers and wanted to help them by giving them breads. Next, we went through connections. During the connections, I found out that majority of us said that "All quiet on the Western Front" has a connection with the book "Candide". Lastly, we talked about the themes. For the themes, I said that "Effect of the war for soldier" is the most important theme in the book. Class 44 World Literature Circles - Meeting #4 Pages / Chapters Due:10-12 “All Quiet on the Western Front” has a lot of connections with other books. However, it has a important connection with the book “Animal Farm”. In All Quiet on the Western Front, the main character Paul suffers a lot of pain during war. He even loses his dream by losing all of his friends. Like Paul, in Animal Farm, many animals except the dogs and the pigs suffer during constructing windmill. They were brainwashed by the pigs and lose their hope.

Things Fall Apart - People enjoys war stories - Strong one survives - some people loves peace better than war -

Each group member needs to select one item on the list to research. It could be the time period, location, or a historical detail. 3. You need to find one [|__reliable source__] (an article or web page) that provides interesting / relevant information on your topic. 4. You may not use Wikipedia as your source, but you can always check the links at the bottom of the relevant page. 3. By the next class you need to post the following on your world lit. wikipage: (on the Block C or Block E page)

Life in Trenches Soldiers’ life in trenches during World War One were harsh and bleak. Dead bodies were all over the places and death was a constant companion to those serving in the line. Many soldiers died on their first day in the trenches because of enemy sniper's bullet. Troops in the trenches were unable to wash or change for weeks, and due to millions of rats, disease was spread both by them. A single rat couple could breed 900 offspring in a year, and it could grow to a size of a cat. Therefore, most of the soldiers fired their gun to get rid of the rats. Life in trenches were not just harsh, but brutal.
