Good morning everyone! Today we are beginning the film All Quiet on the Western Front to give the students a visual idea of what trench warfare during WWI looked like. We also received the second half of our vocabulary for next Wednesday’s (5/21) quiz on chapter 29. We have fourteen terms that we should begin studying now so we can do really well on the quiz.
