Final essay

Dear all,

Time goes by so...quickly. Last class you did a very good job trying to share your summaries of "Sense and Sensibility" with your classmates. This technique called "story telling" can be adapted to different scenarios and levels.

As we didn´t finish "telling" the whole story, I have asked people to send a message to their classmates or rather post a summary on the blogs.

Finally, if you decide to write your essay on "Sense and Sensiblitity" you may focus on some of the main conflicts:

1. Marrying for love or money
2. Social status and love
3. The development of the opposition between sense and sensibility in the novel

or else

4. How could this Romantic novel be used in an EFL class
5. other

To write the essay you can follow these guidelines and links:

Good luck!!
