I have a Master's Degree in Creative Writing for Children and Young Adults. I was a substitute teacher for three years before teaching full-time on Outschool for the past few years. I have been blessed to discuss classic literature in the classroom multiple times. I reread Jane Austen as an adult and I learn something new every time I am exposed to her stories. Pride and Prejudice is an excellent book to discuss because, although the story is beautiful and romantic, the language can be stifling and archaic. I am excited to read this story alongside your student to see what emotions and feelings Austen's world stirs up for them.
Homework Offered
Students will read approximately 60 pages a week on their own time. Each Sunday, students will have access to the new video and a corresponding one page worksheet with discussion questions and places for fill-in-the blank answers. Each week, I assign a short writing assignment focused around that week's discussion questions and ask the students to share their responses in the classroom. There are also daily activities each day like vocabulary words, an I Spy game, and trivia to test their comprehension from the weekly chapters.
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
The more questions, comments, and posts that students share in the classroom, the more I can understand their knowledge and comprehension of the topics we are discussing.
Grades Offered
The students will need a copy of Pride and Prejudice to read on their own. It can be borrowed from the library or even listened to as an audio book. The students will not need a physical copy of the story in class, although they may find it helpful to have while filling out their worksheets or working on their writing assignment. 
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
From Commonsensemedia.org: Parents need to know that Jane Austen's romantic masterpiece, Pride and Prejudice, is an absolute joy to read and study for teens who are open to the pleasures of 19th-century prose and manners. The plot and characters are engaging for teens, and the book is worth revisiting at any age. Several film adaptations of Pride and Prejudice are also well worth seeing, including the 2005 movie starring Keira Knightley and the superb 1995 BBC series featuring Colin Firth as Darcy and Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth. However, young people will get maximum enjoyment from this story if they read the novel first. Parents and children agree an appropriate reading age is 12, but commonsensemedia.org suggests age 14.
