YEAR 13 LESSON THREE [Monday 27th 10]: Homework.





Students watched the BBC film that documents Robert Webb's love of Eliot's Prufrock before considering the requirements of the essay title that was offered to the class in the last lesson. The class considered how T.S.Eliot uses symbolism, metaphor, form and structure to shape the meaning of Prufrock.
The second section of the lesson considered Maupassant's ' Was It A Dream?' and students were asked to consider the question: What can a reader expect from a Gothic text?


Homework:

 Students must provide an essay in response to the question: 'How important is Eliot's use of metaphor and symbol in The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock? How do these features of language allow Eliot to shape meaning?'

Students should have enough notes to guide themselves through this essay but here is a document to help students if this task is itching your brain. Click on link below:


Furthermore, students should begin to read Shelley's 'Frankenstein'. On Monday we will be examining Shelley's introduction and the opening chapters that deal with Walton's letters to his sister.
Lots to do folks. 
MLR.
