So far we've began asking random seniors what they're favorite part of senior year was. We record them and plan to put all of them together in a video. Each day we will ask a new group of seniors a different question. We have quite a lot of filming to do, but we're going after it. Then we'll have to edit everything and finally put all together for our finished project.

Dickens Lecture Notes

  • Tale of Two Cities was influenced by the show Dickens helped put on in 1857, "The Frozen Deep"
  • His life also had influences: growing up on his own from the age of ten, his marriage that ended in a divorce, Ellen which he was falling in love with, and visiting Paris
  • Two years later, the first three chapters of Tale of Two Cities was published in 1859
  • From there new chapters were published weekly
  • Much of the experiences of his life and the historical times were included in the novel
  • Considered one of the greatest writers ever
