Ahh, won’t you escape with me to the countryside in 19th Century England, to the world of the Bennett sisters, Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley, where judgements on character have been made too hastily and things aren’t always what they seem. In this 8 week semester book club we will enjoy each other’s company and Jane Austen’s timeless and witty classic, “Pride and Prejudice”! Every class will be highly interactive yet relaxed. There will be delightful and deep discussions of the novel’s themes,...
Learning Goals: -read a literary classic and build an appreciation of good literature -take an active, respectful part in discussions -recognize satire, wit, and sarcasm -tackle tricky vocabulary by looking for clues in the passage -practice reading aloud certain sections with expression and fluency -relate and respond personally to the text, and discover what the themes of the novel teach us about ourselves -learn about the novel’s distinctive setting in Victorian England and expand basic geography knowledge -enjoy a bond with fellow readers
I am a certified teacher and have over 26 years of experience of teaching in Canadian classrooms. My major in university was English where I studied and fell in love with the works of Jane Austen! In 2014, I visited Bath, England, where the author lived and wrote several novels. It was a thrill of a lifetime!!

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
The setting of the novel is in the 19th century. Roles and opportunities for girls are very traditional and limited. This will provide an opportunity for discussion of how the world is different or the same today. An emphasis will be placed on encouraging learners in this class to follow their dreams, nurture their talents, reach their potential, and not be hindered or negatively influenced by the stereotypes that females in the novel faced.
