Brit Lit: Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice

Once we finish Romeo and Juliet, we’re reading Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.  I’m starting with the BBC lessons.  Anna and Angel are reading the original and are selecting adaptations, such as  Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I just read Unmarriageable, a Pakistani Pride and Prejudice.  It’s a bit risqué.  There are a number of adaptations and films.  We’ll use Stobaugh and this guide.  One goal for Brit Lit is to include literary analysis.  Here is a list of writing prompts. The girls and I determine the assignments together.  I like some of the essay topics.  We may discuss a few together, write a few paragraphs, and determine a project.  I can’t wait!  I love Jane Austen.  I believe I’ve read all of her work.  We should have fun!
