Students took a reading on Pride and Prejudice. The quiz consisted of the following questions:
1. Compare and contrast Mr. Darcy's proposal to Elizabeth with Mr. Collins'.
2. Give one example of how Elizabeth's conversation with Colonel Fitzwilliam (when they are walking together outdoors) reveal her prejudice about Mr. Darcy.
3. Reading check pp.105-185. 

We discussed question 1 and noted that Jane Austen juxtaposes characters and situations to highlight differences.

We reviewed the answers for the history tests. Then we started our study of the French Revolution. During this unit, we will focus on the study skill of taking notes and using them to study for exams. We began watching a documentary on the subject and taking notes.
