Alexa was here for the second class session. Primarily we read Pride and Prejudice. I reviewed the essay instructions and gave Alexa a link for one of the sources required. I am encouraging her to begin research on the topic of this essay: courtship and marriage at the time and place set in Pride and Prejudice. I pointed out some places in the reading we did that would work well for quotes or areas to develop in accord with her research. She found, marked, and discussed a couple of places in the text that she may use in her writing. If possible, tomorrow I will have her begin the research process and get some notes down with annotated bibliography.
