Today, Lacie, Anna, and Angel started Pride and Prejudice. I read the three letters from Mr. Collins to the girls in class. We identified the main characters and began character studies. Tonight we are watching the Pride and Prejudice again. It helps to clarify the characters. The girls are working on the letter from Mr. Collins congratulating Lizzy and Mr. Darcy on their wedding. I will post samples after the girls revise their drafts. It is helpful to have a group discussion. So far so good.
Yesterday’s discussion prompted me to consider Book Club or Reader’s Guide questions. The focus is different. I want the girls to love Jane Austen. Let’s have some fun with these questions.
Update: We spent today's class reviewing Jane Austen's biography and discussing the book club questions. I am loving this unit!
