Our Mansfield Park Activity

I hope you have been enjoying the quotes and blog projects from Mansfield Park. It looks like there are still a couple yet to be posted. Conversations with Jane met at our house to finish discussing Mansfield Park and do our activity. After tea we had a little mid-term review. I wanted to get some feedback on how our study was going. The girls are pleased with what we are doing, though they said we needed more candy canes LOL! Tori said that she had hoped that we would be able to watch the movies and we agreed to find the time for a Jane Austen movie day. I had originally thought we would have time for movie watching during Conversations with Jane. I was wrong :) We took time to discuss the projects for our last three books and a possible field trip to Stan Hywet Hall. If we get the opportunity to visit Stan Hywet, the girls proposed wearing their Regency gowns and taking pictures while there. Our discussion for the day centered around our extra books: Jane Austen for Dummies, What Jane Austen Taught Me About Love and Romance, and Miniatures and Morals. After discussion, we began our activity...a scrapbook page about Fanny Price. The girls were to bring pictures or quotes of things that they felt represented Fanny and make a small scrapbook page about her. I don't have a picture of Tori's due to technical difficulties.
