Brit Lit:

This week we have been looking at Gothic Lit.  As a recap:

It has an innocent virgin type
A dark mysterious man
Mystery and suspense
A dark old house/castle
Unexplained events

C Block has also been examining the elements of Romance and how the Bronte sister's shifted to include elements of Gothic Lit..  Specifically, we have been looking at Jane Eyre.  This wed. we are up to ch 18.  The goal is to finish the novel next week.

All classes have been tasked with using the elements of Gothic Lit. to create an original 2-3 page Gothic story.  Many of you chose to write ghost stories, but other molds exist.

Due at the end of class Wed.:
2-3 page handwritten 1st draft.

We will be working to finish the final draft Friday and sharing these in the dark.
