In the first AS LIT lesson students were introduced to Andrew Marvell's 'To His Coy Mistress', a selection of Dorothy Parker's poetry, two poems by Charles Bukowski and the short story 'Harrison Bergeron' by Kurt Vonnegut. ALL TEXTS SHOULD BE READ FOR HOMEWORK AS AN UNDERSTANDING OF THESE TEXTS WILL GENERATE THE CONTENT FOR THE NEXT LESSON.
When reading the texts for homework students should try and identify the key themes being explored in each text and how language structure and form is being used to shape meaning.
REMEMBER the vomit of wisdom:
What ideas are being expressed?
What is the author's aim?
Why are these ideas being expressed?
Who is expressing these ideas [narrative voice]?
H
O
W are these ideas being expressed?.....WWWWHOW...like a cat coughing up a furball.
The set texts for MLR's AS Lit course at BGS this year are:
The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald and the poem The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner by S.T. Coleridge. The coursework text offered by BGS is Shakespeare's Othello.
Class discussion was excellent on Tuesday. It was a pleasure to meet you all.
MLR.
