Greetings!
We had another good class discussion this week. As we begin our new book, Great Expectations,
many of our discussion questions brought up ideas and themes that we
will discover as we continue reading. It's good for students pick up on
these at the beginning of their reading.
Our
discussion today included the themes of lies/deception,
conscience/imagination, and social roles/ being "common. We had a
variety of theories about Pip and his relationship with Joe, Mrs. Joe
and Joe's marriage, and the manipulative nature of Estella.
Assignment for Next Week:
-- Read p. 91 - 196 in Great Expectations
-- Write 3 Discussion Questions
-- Be ready to discuss the following themes:
Ambition & Self-Improvement
Social Class
Crime & Justice
Revenge
Friendship
Love

NOTE: We do not have class next week on February 26. We will meet again on March 5.
Have a great two weeks!
Mrs. Prichard
