Lesson Outline
We first reviewed the overarching theme of the bildungsroman genre-self discovery and self realization -by focusing on the symbolic relevance of clothes and of one' s name . I further directed Marcel to a critical quote from the reading ,and he practiced writing an analysis of the quote noting its context and significance. We noted how Miss Havisham knowingly deceives Pip into believing she is his secret financial benefactor ,and Marcel offered other possibilities based on our reading to date. We examined how word of Pip's rise in financial status spreads in town, and Marcel raised good examples of society's hypocritical behavior toward Pip when faced with the power and influence of his money. Additionally, as guilt is a continuing theme in the novel, we addressed Pip's remorse as he contemplates his cold treatment of Joe upon Pip's departure to London. Pip wishes he could somehow retract his arrogance or apologize to Joe yet never finds the courage to do so. Last, we reviewed Marcel's study guide( homework )answers . I answered questions Marcel raised about the reading, and we made modifications and additions to his homework where necessary .
