YEAR 12 LESSON THIRTEEN [12th Dec 11]: Homework.


A strange Winter Festival related plague descended upon East Yorkshire but the brave students attending today's feast of culture were placed into groups to consider three key questions:
  • How do you view the character of Gatsby?
  • Who is the most significant character in the novel?
  • Which is the most significant moment?
  • Which is the most enjoyable: Christmas or New Year?
The groups produced some decent feedback and clearly comprehend the key features of the narrative.

Homework: Read the novel and consider the nature of the conclusion. What is Fitzgerald's aim?
Students should also read Coleridge's THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER. When we return we will be exploring the symbolic nature of Fitzgerald's novel, begin to discuss Coleridge's famous poem, and begin the Shakespeare coursework.
