Virginia Claire – you continue to amaze me. You are the poster girl for Jane Austen!

Keep up the good work!

Cheers, Laurel Ann

I really can understand what you mean since I teach English literature as my profession and I love what I teach, not only Jane Austen – though she’s been my favourite since I was 14. This year I’ve read pages from her books and compared them to the scenes of the adaptations in my November lessons and my students liked it. Well, actually, it is usually girls who like this kind of novels more, with boys it is not always that simple…I’ve also created a blog for them and my November posts are full of Austen .
Your report is interesting, anyway. If you’ve got any other good suggestion …

I am so envious. I would love to visit the Jane Austen Center.

You should definetly teach literature!
I wish i could have that kind of visitors in my school.
But next year probably I will be able to tell about Jane Austen to my classmates when my literature classes start.

Great post, I really enjoyed reading it. :)

What an excellent post and a wonderful idea of visiting schools. I wish I’d had visitors like that in my school.
