We'll start by discussing a few questions about chapter 2. Respond to these questions in your notebook. For each one you must answer the question by using a quotation and an explanation of it:
- What is Jerry Cruncher asked to do by the old clerk at Tellson's Bank?
- How is the Old Bailey described? What is happening there today?
- We see two characters (other than Lorry) at the Old Bailey whom we know already. Who are they? Why are they there?
- A new character is described. What is his name? How is he described? Why is he there?
After a short discussion of these topics, we'll turn our attention to chapter three. You'll be in your group and each person will be assigned one of the characters on this handout.
For Friday, your homework is to complete an M-G based on the opening parts of Book 2. You do not need to continue with the reading.
