THIS WEEKEND:
You should continue reading Pride and Prejudice with an eye for completing the summative assessment:
   1. Pick which essay question you are going to use as your focus for reading.
   2. As you read, keep note of sections of the novel that you might use to support your reasoning in your final summative assessment.
   3. Select 10 passages in the novel that you feel best support the essay question that you have selected. Create a dialectical journal for these 10 sections on a Word or Google Doc that explains how each passage supports your reasoning.

*This is Dialectical Journal due on Friday, April 3rd uploaded to Turnitin by 11:59pm.
