British Book Clubbing, Day 1: March 2, 2018

Focus: What essential information can you garner from your novel's opening chapters?

1. Warming up with Victorian Clue #1: Victorian Women

• Connect: How can you connect this to what you already know about Victorian culture?

• Extend: What does it help you understand better or differently about Victorian culture? About your British Book Club novel?

• Challenge: What does it make you wonder?

2. Offering your a reminder of book club expectations; enjoying British Book Clubs, Day 1

• All members participate.

• Keep phones away. I don't want to see them.

• Just like Socratic seminars, book club discussions should be text-based. Books should be open, and passages should be read aloud.

• You don't need to type away the entire time, but keep notes on your syllabus so I can see what you're understanding about your novels.

3. Wrapping up with a quick exit ticket

HW:
1. Complete your assigned book club reading and syllabus for Monday.

2. For Tuesday: Finish your poetry proposal and turn it it, or finish your intro/thesis and e-mail it to me.

Heads-up! March 13: Poetry papers and project are due.
