A new day- a new age

Although the election is now over the focus on politics is definitely not.

It will not be easy to form a new government in the present situation, so let's hope that it will be sorted asap.

Back to our course...

Three groups have put out their link to a document:

UK, Australia and New Zealand. Thank you for the good work.

What about the US, Ireland and Jamaica ?

You mean they don't have school systems?

To all involved:-
Make sure the document is up and running by 9.40 today

Back to today's lesson...

 Today we will be beginning the first of three literary works which are part of the course.
We start with a "classic".

 
The definition of what constitutes a "classic" has always been open to interpretation and discussion. I want you to add your fuel to this discussion.

 

Here is the document I would like you to download as a basis for your assignment.

If you cannot find anything of interest on our shelves then here is a list of possible authors.

 
Finally to give some perspective of what was going on in the UK during the nineteenth century (1800's) I have included a time-line of important events.

 
Your homework for this week is to start reading your "classic". The deadline for completion is week 47 when you will give your classic talk( some will give their talk in week 49) .

E-mail me by Friday WITHOUT FAIL the title of your work and the name of the author. 

PLEASE USE THE REST OF TODAY'S 

LESSON TO CHOOSE AND BEGIN TO 

READ YOUR CLASSIC NOVEL/PLAY
