All right, I decided against watching “Gandhi” before the easter holiday as it seems better to do something on the British Empire first. Those of you who had history last semester should be pretty well informed but I don’t know whether this is everyone or just a part of the course. So, we will do some stuff on it together, to make sure we all know what the British Empire is all about.
Monday 3rd: We’ll have an in depth look at “A Pair of Jeans” using the worksheets you did in the last lesson and at home. Discussion between Farook’s parents and the unhappy couple.
Wednesday 5th: A quick word on point of view in the story “A Pair of Jeans” and maybe on its theme. (Think about it at home.) Then we take a look at the British Empire.
@home for this lesson:
- look up what a “sari” is and what it looks like
- read the copies on “The Rise and Fall of the British Empire” (basics can also be found here), read all but be an expert on you specific part
