British Literature Class Notes -- Week 4 (February 6)

Greetings!

We had another good class.  This is a group of students who are willing to think critically and to discuss the literature. Each student came to class with 3 discussion questions.  Writing on the white board one question from each student, they took some time to jot down their thoughts about each of those questions.

With the students determining the direction of our conversation, we began our look at Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.  This is a delightful play with multiple layers of themes and character development.  For this past week we read the first two acts.  We'll finish the final three acts next week.  Next week, I will also introduce Great Expectations by Dickens.

Assignments for Next Week:

-- Read Acts III, IV, and V of Much Ado.

-- Bring to class 3 discussion questions

Have a great weekend,
