Pride and Prejudice

Sample

Pride and Prejudice is a romantic comedy in the grand Shakespearean tradition of romantic comedies: Inside a rich tapestry of characters both serious and silly, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet meet as intellectual and moral equals but also as the representatives of two different communities.

Their challenging and even initially antagonistic relationship develops into one of mutual respect and a true meeting of minds. Along with the colourful cast of supporting characters—the unforgettable Mr. Collins, the sardonic and apathetic Mr. Bennet, wily Wickham, practical Charlotte, lovable Bingley—the relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth brings to vibrant life the intricate and delicate world of Regency England and forces readers to examine their own prejudices and pride.

The set features the famous text from Jane Austen, the Student Guide, and the Teacher Guide. The Student Guide contains vocabulary studies, reading notes, comprehension questions, Socratic discussion questions, work with quotes, and literary and also rhetorical devices. Each of these lessons contains vocabulary work, journal prompts, quotes, and comprehension questions. The Teacher Guide provides all answers to questions, and quizzes and tests.

Our study guides train students to become active readers. Students think about what they have read and learn to identify the important content of each story. These study guides also teach the advanced skill of composing answers that are both clear and concise, a difficult skill at any age. Writing is thinking, and good questioning stimulates the child to think and write.
