Geared towards advanced students, this unit helps students develop the critical thinking and research skills needed for college work. Using a variety of interactive, creative, and individual activities, ten lessons begin with an introduction to Victorian culture and then move chronologically through the novel, examining Thomas Hardy's life and its correspondence with the novel. Specific activities include character analysis, comparing and contrasting with the classical structure of tragedy, creative rewriting, role playing, researching cultural history, identifying major literary movements, examining setting, reading original contemporary reviews, conducting biographical research on Hardy, and researching allusions in the work. Grades 9-12. (CFL134)

Four New York City corporate executives: Vanessa, Anne, Monica, and Maria come from differing backgrounds, racism ally, culturally and socioeconomically, and struggle with varying issues of abandonment, lovelornness, sexual abuse, and addictions. At first glance, it appears as though they have nothing in common, however as members of The Sangrita Club, these women discover that they are all seeking the same thing, a way to escape. The Sangrita Club is a story of how these women forge a bond in the face of adversities, which helps them find a way up, out, through, around, and over the stumbling blocks in their lives and transform them into stepping-stones. By breaking through each other's facades, they discover the illuminating value that lies within their sisterhood, which helps them heal from the symptoms of their past secrets.
