YEAR 13 LESSON FOUR [30th Sept 11]: Homework.









Students were introduced to the elements of the Anthology that need to be considered when answering the metaphor component of the A2 coursework. The class were encouraged to consider the question: HOW DOES T.S.ELIOT USE METAPHOR TO SHAPE MEANING IN 'THE LOVE SONG OF J.ALFRED PRUFROCK'?

Students were guided towards possible content when constructing a response to this question. Students also received detailed guidance notes to ensure that they are able to produce a quality response to this challenging task. Students were also offered: IS ELIOT'S POEM WORTHY OF CANONICAL STATUS? One of these essays should be completed for homework. Any problems, fire an e-mail down the digital pipe.

The second session examined the first five chapters of Shelley's Frankenstein.

HOMEWORK: Read the first five chapters of Frankenstein. Next week I will be offering the title: HOW DOES SHELLEY ATTEMPT TO ENGAGE THE READER IN THE FIRST FIVE CHAPTERS OF THE NOVEL? We had a general discussion on Friday and next week I want students to support opinion with specific reference to the text. If you have not perused the Discovery Channel documentary...you should! It will provide some useful historical context. Click on link below:

I look forward to receiving your beautifully precise, detailed and sophisticated essays.

Tally Ho.

MLR.
