Students considered the question 'How does Fitzgerald tell the story in chapter 7 ?' and the first lesson was used to focus on the key areas of the text that would allow students to engage the appropriate assessment objective and access the higher grades. The Archdeacon of Nonsense attempted to guide students towards a consideration of how Fitzgerald uses Carraway's narrative, the use of symbolic representation [with specific focus placed upon the 'death car' incident], how Fitzgerald uses Daisy to explore key themes and create a sense of tragedy and emotional chaos, and the significance of Gatsby 'watching over nothing' at the end of the chapter.
The final hour was a timed essay! Sorry.
Homework: Have a stimulating, engaging and adventurous Winter break. BE CURIOUS. Thank you all for your hard work this term.Much appreciated. You really are a very impressive gaggle of gurgling literature students.
When we return we will be crashing into Shakespeare's OTHELLO and continuing the psychedelic journey through the mesmerising mind of ST Coleridge.
BON NOEL.
