SADDLEBACK CLASSICS

NOTES TO THE TEACHER THE NOVELS

Saddleback Classics were expressly designed to help students with limited reading ability gain access to some of the world’s greatest literature. While retaining the essence and stylistic “flavor” of the original, each Saddleback Classic has been expertly adapted to a reading level that never exceeds grade 4.0. A perfect introduction to later, more in-depth investigations of the original works, Saddleback Classics utilize a number of strategies to ensure the involvement of reluctant readers: airy, uncomplicated page design, shortened sentences, easy-reading type style, elimination of archaic words and spellings, shortened total book length, and handsome illustrations. THE STUDY GUIDES

The Saddleback Classics Study Guides provide a wealth of reproducible support materials to help students extend the learning experience. Features include critical background notes on both the author and the times, character descriptions, chapter summaries, and eight “universal” exercises—focusing on plot, theme, character, vocabulary, important literary terms, and book report structure. All may be used to follow up the reading of any Saddleback Classic novel. In addition to the universal exercises, 26 title-specific exercises are included to review, test, or enrich the student’s grasp of important vocabulary and concepts. These enjoyable worksheets, 4

all reproducible, are designed to be used chapter-by-chapter as the student’s reading of the novel proceeds. At least two exercises are provided for each book chapter. One of the two always focuses on key vocabulary. The other may be a simple comprehension check or present an important literary concept such as character analysis, point of view, inference, or figurative language. A two-page final exam is also included in every Saddleback Classics Study Guide. USING THE STUDY GUIDES

Before assigning any of the reproducible exercises, be sure your students each have a personal copy of the Glossary and the Facts About the Author and About the Times. Students will need to be familiar with many of the literary terms in order to complete the worksheets. The Facts About the Author and About the Times lend themselves to any number of writing, art, or research projects you may wish to assign. The title-specific exercises may be used as a springboard for class discussions or role-playing. Alternatively, you may wish to assign some exercises as homework and others as seatwork during the closing minutes of a class period. All exercises in this Guide are designed to accommodate independent study as well as group work. The occasional assignment of study partners or competitive teams often enhances interest and promotes creativity.

FACTS ABOUT THE AUTHOR

JANE AUSTEN (1775–1817) Like many an English lady of the times, Jane Austen spent her life almost entirely within the family circle. The seventh child in her family, she was the daughter of a country parson. Only one dramatic event is known to have taken place in her life. This was her attachment to a clergyman who died before their engagement became official. She never married. When not writing, Jane Austen spent her time taking care of domestic tasks and caring for her many nieces and nephews. She had no contact with London literary

life. Yet, out of the materials of her narrow world, she was able to create great literature. In fact, she is widely regarded as the greatest of all women novelists. Her completed novels include Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Mansfield Park, Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion. These works are known for their brilliant wit and comedy, as well as for her clear-eyed understanding of human nature. These qualities and her perfection of style elevate her little world into a microcosm of the larger world.

CHAPTER SUMMARIES CHAPTER 1

Mrs. Bennet’s goal in life is to see her five daughters well-married. She is, therefore, delighted when a single gentleman, Mr. Bingley, rents a nearby estate, Netherfield Park. Mr. Bingley attends a local ball and brings several people with him, including his friend Darcy. At first, everyone is impressed with Darcy, who is handsome and rich. But when young Mr. Darcy turns out to be distant and proud, their admiration turns to disgust. While at the ball, Bingley becomes attracted to Jane, the oldest Bennet daughter. He dances with her twice. Meanwhile, Darcy humiliates Jane’s sister, Elizabeth, by refusing to dance with her. CHAPTER 2

Jane is falling in love with Bingley, but refuses to show her feelings for him. Meanwhile, Darcy is secretly becoming interested in Elizabeth. One morning, Jane is invited to visit Bingley’s sister, Caroline, as well as Mrs. Hurst. She falls ill and must remain at their house. Worried about her sister’s health, Elizabeth joins her. Soon, Mrs. Bennet also comes for a brief visit and embarrasses Elizabeth with her poor manners. CHAPTER 3

The longer Elizabeth stays at Netherfield, the more Darcy is attracted

to her. Caroline Bingley notices this attraction and becomes jealous. After the sisters return home, Mr. Bennet’s cousin, Mr. Collins, comes to visit. Because the Bennet property can only be passed on to a male relative, Mr. Collins will inherit their home when Mr. Bennet dies. In order to help the Bennets keep their property, Mr. Collins plans to marry one of the Bennet daughters. CHAPTER 4

At a party the next day, Wickham confides in Elizabeth that Darcy cheated him out of a valuable income. The position Wickham lost would have allowed him to become a gentleman instead of a soldier. Elizabeth confronts Darcy with the charges against him, but he does not answer her. Just a few days later, Mr. Collins proposes to Elizabeth. She refuses him, which delights her father, but makes her mother furious. CHAPTER 5

Caroline writes a letter from London, in which she hints that Bingley is falling in love with Darcy’s sister, Georgiana. Elizabeth suspects that Caroline is lying, but Jane can’t believe such a thing. Meanwhile, Charlotte spends a great deal of time with Mr. Collins. She secretly hopes he will propose to her. He does! Elizabeth can hardly believe 7

S ADDLEBACK CLASSICS that Charlotte will take such a boring, unattractive man as her husband. But Charlotte is determined to be married.

Mr. Bennet’s brother, Mr. Gardiner, and his wife come to visit. They invite Jane to come back to London with them. Elizabeth has great hopes that her sister will see Bingley there. CHAPTER 6

Once Jane is in London, Elizabeth waits impatiently to hear from her. But Jane’s news is discouraging. She reports that Caroline was rude to her and that Bingley never came to visit. When Elizabeth leaves to visit Charlotte, she stops in London. She tells Mrs. Gardiner that she sees little of Wickham now. It seems that he has met a rich young woman, Miss King. When Elizabeth begins her visit with Charlotte, she meets Darcy’s aunt. Lady Catherine turns out to be a very rich, arrogant woman.

inferior family. At this announcement, Elizabeth’s surprise gives way to anger. She accuses him of ruining Jane’s happiness and Wickham’s career. Then she tells Darcy how much she disliked him from the start. Angry and hurt, Darcy leaves at once. CHAPTER 8

Darcy gives Elizabeth a long letter. In it, he admits he kept Bingley away from Jane because of her family’s disgraceful behavior. Then he reveals the truth about the connection between Wickham and his family. It seems that Wickham wasted money Darcy had given him. When he demanded more, Darcy refused. It was then that Wickham tried to avenge himself by eloping with Georgiana. Luckily, the elopement was stopped. At first, Elizabeth can hardly believe what she is reading. Then the truth of Darcy’s words sinks in. She realizes she has been prejudiced about both Darcy and Wickham.

CHAPTER 7

After Elizabeth has been visiting Charlotte for two weeks, Lady Catherine has two visitors—Darcy and his cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam. One afternoon, Elizabeth learns through Colonel Fitzwilliam that it was Darcy who kept Jane and Bingley apart. She is so upset to hear this news that she stays home alone that night. Then Darcy unexpectedly comes to visit— and proposes to her! Elizabeth is astonished. Then Darcy explains that he loves her in spite of her 8

CHAPTER 9

Elizabeth decides not to tell people what she’s learned about Wickham—for the officers will soon be leaving for Brighton. Lydia is ecstatic when she also receives an invitation to Brighton. Elizabeth leaves for her tour with the Gardiners and unexpectedly runs into Darcy. His manner is kind and gentle. Elizabeth believes he might still be in love with her.

Elizabeth receives a letter from Jane that brings dreadful news. Lydia has run off to London—with Wickham! Wickham, it seems, has no intention of marrying her. Elizabeth tells Darcy the news. She is certain this scandal will end his feelings for her. And now, when a future relationship is hopeless, she realizes that she could have loved him. Mr. Gardiner goes to London to help find the runaway couple. CHAPTER 11

A letter to Mr. Bennet from Mr. Gardiner brings good news. Wickham has agreed to marry Lydia—in return for a certain amount of money. Mr. Bennet is disgusted. He’s sure that Mr. Gardiner has already paid Wickham a great deal of money. After the marriage, Lydia and Wickham visit the Bennets. They boldly

show no signs of shame for what they have done. By accident, Lydia reveals that Darcy attended her wedding. It is then that Elizabeth discovers that Darcy was the one who gave Wickham the money he demanded. Meanwhile, Mr. Bingley returns to Netherfield—and, to Jane’s great joy, proposes to her. CHAPTER 12

Lady Catherine comes to visit and insists that Elizabeth not become engaged to Darcy. Elizabeth refuses. A few days later, Darcy himself comes and proposes to Elizabeth. He says her refusal to obey Lady Catherine gave him hope. This time, Elizabeth accepts with all her heart. After explaining to Jane and her father how she changed her mind about Darcy, all is settled. As for Mrs. Bennet, she is delighted to have three of her daughters married.
