Waiting for Godot Project

Please hand in your Waiting for Godot scene tomorrow.  Remember, you should write a two to three page scene for the play.  Make sure you indicate where it should be placed and keep it true to the spirit of the play.


Also, you have received a copy of Pride and Prejudice.  Please read chapters 1-4.

If you leave your copy at home, here is an ebook version of the novel: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1342?msg=welcome_stranger
