Slice and Dice!

I look at every resource through a conservative world view.  I just posted Little Women resources.  Am I using all of this material?  Nope.  I’ll read parts of the Britannica biography about Louisa May Alcott.  I’m using this resource because many of the questions examine Little Women in the context of the time period and prevailing social norms.  Our class is part of a Catholic Co-op.  We bring in our faith—which I found confusing in Little Women because of its Transcendentalism influences.  We’ll discuss morality lessons in the novel.  However, I am careful to select questions which are objective or focus on the book and its characters.  The last thing I want to do is try to impose contemporary values to a classic novel written and published in the late 1860’s.  That’s why I share so many resources.  I might find only one exercise or two good questions to use for class.
