Victorian Prose Practice

We will be doing a study of four 19th century prose passages to get us ready for Victorian Era passages. Please print* this packet that you will use for marking the text. I'm sorry that it is so long!

*If you need to conserve paper, please change to a smaller font before printing. If you can't print, please read the passages online and do the assignment as best you can on a separate sheet of paper. OR, you can copy the passages into a new Google Doc, do your annotations in a different color, and then invite me into your document. Whatever works best for you, your printer, and your parents asking you why the printer always needs ink.

1. Read all passages and mark the text writing down insights into character, inferences, identifying quotations, or anything that would help you develop a complex response to the prompt.

2. Re-read the passage that you are to become an expert on. (Listed by alpha below). Expect that you will be asked to make a comment about your focus passage in class, so make sure you have extra fancy insights for this one. You will need to write down one turn-in-able insight about your passage. (Take me through your claim(s),the quotation(s) that support this, and, why this is interesting.

3. Be prepared to turn your all 4 marked texts in for points.



A-H: Passage 1
I-M: Passage 2
N-R: Passage 3
S-Z: Passage 4
