**The Tales of //Oliver Twist:// Tw​ist and Shout About Revolution [[image:oliver_twist.gif]] **
Welcome to AP Literature does the 21st Century!

For this project, you will examine the different ways Charles Dickens' //Oliver Twist// acts as a social problem novel to comment on and perhaps even influence the social, political, and economic events taking place during the Victorian Period. To complete this project, you will work in small groups, eventually compiling your information together on this wikipage. Remember, the information you present is open to the public domain and should achieve a level of **scholarly professionalism** that meets and exceeds the expectations of our AP Literature class. As this is a first Wikipage go-around for many, if not all, of us, I want to thank you now for your patience, hard work, and enthusiasm as we tackle this project together!

Be sure to check back regularly as I will add more details in the future. Good luck!
