Pride & Prejudice Rocketbook Study Guide DVD
A tale of true love and simple misunderstanding unfolds in class-conscious England near the close of the 18th century. The five Bennet sisters have been raised well-aware of their mother's obsession on finding them husbands and securing wealthy futures. One sister, however, strives to live her life with a broader perspective, as encouraged by her doting father. When a wealthy bachelor takes up residence in a nearby mansion, the Bennets are abuzz! With the man's sophisticated circle of London friends and the influx of young militia officers, surely there will be no shortage of suitors for the Bennet sisters. Relationships flourish and hearts are broken, but these incidents only inspire the Bennets, and everyone around them, to reaffirm what things are truly the most important in life.
About Rocketbooks:
* Classic Literature - visualized.
* Highly stylized and interactive -- with chapter summaries, in-depth analyses and pop quizzes -- Rocketbooks are the ideal companions for the modern student's reading experience.
Please note that a brief synopsis of many of the books included here are provided in our Library Builders section. Study guides for the same book are often available from several publishers, so we found it more efficient to give a description of the book only once.
Do you feel that your literature studies could use a pick-me-up - especially for your not-so-fond-of-reading auditory learner? Check out these Study Guide DVDs. Cogent summaries and in-depth analysis incorporating historical setting, author information, comprehension, and literary analysis, coupled with short quizzes mean these are solid literature guides. The audio-visual presentation (albeit not glitzy and maybe even a bit dated) is still professionally done utilizing a well-voiced actor and a straight-forward delivery. The organizational structure is simple. The book or play is covered by short segments (chapters in books; scenes in plays). Events in the section are summarized in casual lecture style with animations incorporating stylized artwork and visual "notes" provided. Then analysis - both of events and literary aspects - is provided followed by a short pop quiz that reviews the basic information. Quizzes, by the way, are presented orally and in written form (on the screen). Questions are multiple choice. A short time for answering is allowed and then the answer is given. Navigation between the scenes/chapters and the summaries, analysis, and quizzes is easy.
Designed to be used as companions to reading the literary selection, the actual literary text is not provided except as illustrative quotes. Also, it should be noted that nothing from the DVD is printable. However, there are two Bonus Features available at the end of the DVD: character descriptions of three major characters (lecture format) and a slideshow of the stylized artwork. ~ Janice
