Read Transcript

In this episode, we look at chapter one of Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens. 

First, I’ll read the chapter aloud before exploring key passages in detail with a close reading where we’ll look at character introductions, the rhythm of the writing, and how the action propels the story forward. You’ll then have an exercise to try at home.
