First and fifth periods began the choice unit. We looked at a piece on choice written in the Schaffer model and began looking at the question of what affects the significance of a given choice.

Second and fourth periods continued working on Great Expectations. We began the final project by going over the optional topics to examine within the novel and compare with our eventual research on Victorian England.

• economics
• family units
• education
• housing
• penal system
• law enforcement
• social classes
