In all classes, we had the pleasure of hearing many chapters and sections of Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Woman, which definitely repeats motifs, literary elements, allusions, Rousseau trashing, morality's importance, and education to improve the future generations. I always enjoy the audience reaction to each 4 minute synopsis, and how you are hearing the consistency of argument throughout the chapters. Second hour has 9 presentations left, fourth hour with 4, and seventh hour with ? (typing this during sixth hour, but odds are somewhere in the vicinity of 5-7).
Meanwhile, you already have what you need for classwork tomorrow: Frankenstein, reading the introductory material for info, reading analytically Letter 1, filling out the character chart for Robert Walton. All of that will be needed for after the presentations on Monday, so make sure you are ready to talk about Walton - and why he might be the starting figure in a novel that is not about him.
And don't forget that you have the Proxy Penguin, the Gianini Giraffe, the Omniscient Owl, and the Zenith Zebra to keep you company!
