Creative Illustrations: Technology of WWI

Pen and ink drawing of a soldier wearing a gas mask, gas mask bag and helmet, standing in a trench.

In this lesson, students will study technology used during WWI through examples described in “All Quiet on the Western Front”. Students will use imagery and words to create a Black-Out poem or Found-Poem using a page from the novel. They will utilize primary and secondary resources by exploring photographs of, and readings about real WWI technology.
