My Project

My students do not have many options when it comes to electives at our school. Trying to keep them engaged is no easy task. I am creating a fun and interactive British Literature Course which gives them a glimpse into some unique texts that they will enjoy. Along with that, I am adding a spin to the class that allows them to experience tea so we can enjoy literature and British culture together. Help make my almost impossible job, possible!

One of the novels we will be reading is Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice!
