Anne of Green Gables -- Chapter 1

Some suggested topics for research for tomorrow's book discussion -- Kellie will prepare a short biography of L.M. Montgomery; Chiemi will prepare a short discussion of fashion of the time, i.e., what does "he wore a white collar" mean; Jennie will prepare a discussion of where is Avonlea and Green Gables and I will prepare a short multiple guess quiz about chapter 1. How does that sound? None of this is set in stone but it will add to our discussion I think. Thoughts?

Sounds fun! I love fashion. Oooh can I do a continuous commentary of the "whys" of the fashion of that time?! I love love love studying historical fashion.

ChristyVoltron said...

Absolutely -- as we know fashion plays a very important role in the book and your insights would be extremely interesting. Thanks for thinking of that!!

Kellie said...

haha! This sounds fun! Is it an all day discussion, or will it be at a certain time?

ChristyVoltron said...

Well Jennie doesn't get home from school until 11:30ish tomorrow so maybe we should play it for the afternoon . . . Jennie?

Jennie said...

Sounds good. You guys are free to start without me if you wish. Won't matter too much.

Kellie said...

NO WAY! We can't start with out you Jennie! I go to lunch at 11:30, but I'll jump in at 12:30.

Jennie said...

Well, we can't start without you either! And Christy goes to lunch at 1...I generally take mine at the same time but that doesn't matter since I'm here anyways for lunch.

Kellie said...

well, we can either start at 11:30 and I'll jump in when I can or we can start at 2pm when you guys are back from lunch.

Jennie said...

Just start in the morning, really. That would be best for everyone else I think. We can finish after lunch.

Chiemi said...

I agree with Jennie. Just start in the morning and let it go from there.

Chiemi said...

How does everyone feel about doing this on our own private message board?

Kellie said...

That would be cool, Chiemi! Let's try it!

ChristyVoltron said...

I don't know how to do that but sure -- if somebody points me in the right direction.

Chiemi said...

Okay, I think that I can host one through my website. I'm going to look around. I can have it ready to try out by tomorrows discussion.

Kellie said...

Hopefully my work wouldn't block it. We'll see.

Chiemi said...

I did it!! It was easier than I thought so here it is:

I know it's not the easiest web address but it was the best I could do. I'm a beginner at this. All you have to do it sign up.

Alright...If you didn't notice I made a link under the poll to our e-club forum for anyone who wants easy access to it.
