Activities & Assignments
PP: Discovering Voice

Brief review of final opening chapters. Exploration of “casting lots” in the book of leviticus and a look at what Marner’s sect may have believed.

The instructor will divide the class into groups with the center of the room as a clear boundary. Each group will be presented with a legal scenario characteristic of Eliot’s era. The students will be asked to review each case and write a preliminary response to how it should be handled.

The instructor will then cast lots. Each case will be determined by Marner’s method. Students will then write about the fate’s of the characters following the judgement.

Concluding activity: students will separate from their groups and write individually about how the novel may proceed now that the stage is set.
