YEAR12 LESSON TWENTY-SEVEN [30th April 12]: Homweork.


Students were expected to answer a series of Gatsby related questions with the focus of the discussion being the difference between Nick Carraway and F.Scott Fitzgerald. Students were asked to consider how Fitzgerald uses Carraway to shape meaning.

The second section of this FINAL session was the Section B exam task: Write about the significance of places in three of the texts that you have studied.

Notes were captured and two thirds of a response was modelled using Gatsby/Auden's 'Miss.Gee'/ and a reference to TROTAM. The key consideration with the section B response is the 'detailed and perceptive understanding of issues raised through CONNECTIONS between texts.' This section of the lesson was an attempt to illustrate how students should present textual connections when constructing a written response.

HOMEWORK: Keep sending me essays. I will be offering a session on the Monday before the exam. KEEP CHECKING THE BLOG AS I WILL BE POSTING RESOURCES. Keep reading the set texts.
