Monday, 12/12: The Dickens Guide

*Pray

*The Dickens Guide
"And you know what wittles is?" by F. A. Fraser. c. 1877. 5 x 6.3 inches. An illustration for the Household Edition of Dickens's Great Expectations (Frontispiece). Scanned image and text by Philip V. Allingham from material reproduced courtesy of The Charles Dickens Museum, 48 Doughty Street, London WC1N 2LF.

See Focus: I wouldn't print the guide as it is very long.

The guide is very good but extensive, so we are going to keep our pace to about five chapters per week, which will mean that we will be reading this book into part of the fourth quarter.

Reading Questions:
Each week, you will read five chapters and answer two questions of your choice per chapter. Thus, for block, you need to read through chapter 5 and answer 10 questions (two questions from ch. 1,2,3,4,5 for a total of 10 answers). You must answer the question completely in complete sentences.

Vocabulary:
On Monday, we will post the 10 words from the guide you will write sentences for. You only have to write 2 sentences per word this quarter (not 3). We will choose two words per chapter from your reading guide (for a total of ten words each week). Be sure to look over all the words before you read coming chapters so that you can be better prepared for Dicken's vocabulary.

This week's words:

1. Ravenous
2. Stout
3. Connubial
4. Trenchant
5. Fetter
6. Impel
7. Blithe
8. Terse
9. Dissociate
10. Joviality

The questions and sentences will be due every block day as a journal. So, this block's journal will be #22 and should include your 10 answers and 20 sentences.
