Our blog discussion was fun, but I'd like to do
something a little different for next week. First, make sure you complete the reading assignment listed below, and then read the directions
for the ensuing group discussion assignment. Let me know if you have questions!
Long Weekend Reading Assignment: Chapters 25-32
Discussion Assignment Directions
1. Each student will be assigned a question for further analysis.
2. Each student will prepare his/her thoughts on the question, including annotations, direct quotes and overall commentary. I will collect these responses for a homework grade.
3. At the beginning of class on Wednesday, January 22, students will meet with their other group members to discuss their findings. Then each group will lead discussion on their assigned question. Discussion will continue into Wednesday.
Question One (assigned to Skye, Tariah, Lauren, Dacota)
Describe Jane's experiences in Chapter 28. Is Mother Nature kind to Jane? What about people?
What do you make of the sentimental description of the Rivers?
Question Two (assigned to Tyler, Maeve, Sully)
Using Chapter 29 as your basis, compare St. John to Rochester. How
does Jane feel toward him, and why?
Question Three: (assigned to Amber, Nick, Juliet, Andrea)
Equality was a major concern for Jane in her relationship with Rochester. Examine Jane's relationships with the Rivers, the servant Hannah and Jane's students. Is Jane as concerned about equality in these relationships? Why or why not?
Question Four (assigned to Savannah, Ashley, Bailey, Harry )
Some critics have suggested that the "Rivers" portion of the book could be left out entirely. Is the River story important to Jane's development? Why or why not? Give careful reasons for your view.
