a.entente vs Triple Alliance
b. defensive vs. offensive warfare weaponry
2. Viewing images of trench warfare
3. Viewing map of the Western front
4. Viewing propoganda posters
5. Reading and explicating Wilfred Owen's ironic poem, "Dulce et Decorum Est"
6. Watching the opening battle scenes in the movie, which reveal the utter futility of going "over the top"
Read Chapter One for next class.
