Brain With [insert here] Legs

For our literary circle we (Miranda, Erica and I) decided we would read Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. There was no particular reason for why we chose this over the other two novels. All three books were books I had heard about but was unfamiliar with. To be completely honest, the title of the novel won us over because it sounded more interesting than the other two. All day today we have been communicating via email and discussing how to work this assignment out. The predominant way we will use for communication will be email because it is both practical and efficient. Upon computing the data (how many pages in the book divided by the amount of days we want to read the book over) we came to the conclusion that in order to finish on our planned schedule we will read 40 pages of the book per day.

Our idea for presenting our novel and demonstrating our mastery of it was creating a specific and separate blog that we will all have access to. In this blog we will post summaries as well as other interesting posts pertaining to the novel. We decided to do this because we thought it'd be cool if we could use our experience to create a tool that could not only help us and our peers, but other students who are studying the novel in other parts of the world. More details will be posted as the blog develops. Our goal is to have the blog up and running by Friday.

A mindmap could develop as a possible final 'project' for the novel where we show our knowledge of it in interconnected way.
