ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Gail Canini Eastmoor Academy High School ORCLISH, Columbus, Ohio ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Grade 10 Humanities- Social Studies/English All Quiet On the Western Front/World War I Students are to read the novel All Quiet on the Western Front. As they read the novel, they will compile comprehensive notes in the CAST method. The CAST method explores four main components of the novel: characters, action or plot, settings, and themes. Students will also compile a timeline of World War (which is the setting for the novel) identifying significant events of WWI on one side and important plot events from the novel on the other. Because the novel is historical fiction , many events should coincide. Students need to be sure to include causes of the war in the timeline. The timeline can be as elaborate as the student wants. Students should include pictures, images, and writings.
