Description
Class Experience
This class is taught in English.
Students will become familiar with Brontë's Jane Eyre, learn to identify its theme and motifs, and be able to draw educated conclusions from our rhetorical discussions.
As graduate-level work, Jane Eyre and Brontë's other works were a focus for me at Oxford University, but I first read Jane Eyre when I was 12, just for fun. It moved me deeply, both because of its compelling story and because Ms. Brontë was such a masterful storyteller. As an author myself, I particularly enjoy studying the works and perspectives of other female authors.
Weekly reading, an essay, creative projects, and dramatic reading prep. I give a lot of space for learning disabilities and non-neurotypical learners (I have a few in my own home!), so if you're hesitant about the class format, please reach out to me.
A copy of Jane Eyre will be required. There are many editions available for purchase online or in local bookstores; just be sure to get an unabridged copy.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
All essays are read and returned to learners with notes, helpful suggestions, and plenty of encouragement.
50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 4+ hours per week outside of class.
