I chose to search for anything relating to Jane Eyre. I found a great source that would be helpful for teachers or students. It relates the history and politics of Victorian England to the story--creating a wealth of scaffolding for understanding why Charlotte Bronte would create Jane the way she has. It also discusses pop culture in relation to the book. Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys was written as a contrasting point of view to Bertha Masson's insanity. She portrays Rochester as the scheming, selfish, and arrogant husband that caused his wife to lose her mind--not as the intelligent, wonderful charismatic Rochester that Jane falls head over heels in love with.
Glad for your find, Shari! Did you try the read aloud? Helpful for those with reading difficulties, I like to hear those difficult-to-pronounce scientific & medical terms. Thanks for commenting.
