I dare say, I feel tempted to treat your offer as kindly as I should your company. [In reply to] Can't Post

I've been thinking the same thing. When I first toyed with the lesson idea, I rented the film, tried it, and found that like the book the language was arcane, slow, and difficult to follow without some training. To work in a two-hour lesson, I'd need to focus on just a couple of key scenes, and have everyone really study and talk their way through them, to be sure everyone gets it. But now that I've read/heard the book, I have a little better idea of where in Emma are the scenes that most closely parallel the Clueless screenplay. Then perhaps those same scenes are rendered well in the film, and I could use them to put the lesson together. I'll have to put this on my to-do list for the upcoming year.
