Rachael and Jonah


1.     How do gender and class influence the relationship between Elizabeth and Mr. Collins? (X)
2.     How is Miss Bingley’s courtship of Darcy affected by class and gender?
3.     How do the effects of gender and class in courtship show their influence through Jane and Bingley’s relationship?
4.     How do gender and class influence marriage? (X)

Advantages of closed ended questions: short, to the point, easy
Disadvantages of closed ended questions: don’t discuss much, don’t offer interpretation and complex thought

Advantages of open ended questions: go in depth, think about it, understand it
Disadvantages of open ended questions: harder, require more thinking, sometimes you can go off track and write about the wrong thing

Why Questions with “X:”
The answers are more apparent
