All Quiet on the Western Front: Chapters 4-6

Lesson Plan - Get It!

Audio:

So far, you've read Chapters 1-3 in All Quiet on the Western Front, which recounts Paul's enlistment, experience in training camp, rest periods behind the front lines, and the death of one of his school-mates, Kemmerich.

In Chapters 4-6, we get to see Paul's company travel to the front line for duty and experience the trench warfare that characterized much of the fighting in World War I.

Before reading Chapters 4-6, there is some vocabulary to define. Look up the definitions for the following terms from Chapters 4-6 in a dictionary (print or online, such as Dictionary.com).

On a separate sheet of paper, write down the definitions for each of the terms. After defining the words, write a sentence using each word correctly in context.

Now that you've defined the terms from Chapters 4-6, retrieve your copy of the All Quiet on the Western Front Characters handout you used in the first Related Lesson (right-hand sidebar), so you can fill it out for this section of the novel.

You are now ready to read Chapters 4-6 in All Quiet on the Western Front.

After reading, move on to the Got It? section.
