Five students had prepared a close reading of the five different sections of Chapter One of Colm Tóibín's novel Nora Webster. They presented these reading in class and their conclusions about what they had learned about the novel from the presentation of the grammatical, linguistic and stylistic structures they had studied. They discussed their ideas with colleagues.

Students have to read up to Chapter 6 of the novel for the next class because they will watch the film Gaslight which is used by the author in this section of the book. They will watch the movie to prepare a review of it, so they will watch it "pen in hand". They will need to do some background research on the director, George Cukor, and the principle actors, Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer, Joseph Cotton and Angela Lansbury.
