Students were encouraged to consider to what extent Marvell's COY MISTRESS, Shakespeare's SONNET 18 and Duffy's HAVISHAM could be considered 'simple love poems'. Class discussion explored how language, structure and form can shape meaning. The whole aim of class discussion was to provide students with relevant content appropriate for the first Year 12 essay.The final stage of the session introduced F.Scott Fitzgerald's THE GREAT GASTSBY. This is an examination text therefore it is absolutely crucial that students develop a sophisticated understanding of this text. Class discussion considered the historical context and the thematic nature of the epigraph.
HOMEWORK: Complete the essay. Titles were provided along with an appropriate essay structure. Students also need to read GATSBY. The opening chapter will be the focus of the next session. The key question that you need to consider when reading the opening chapter is: WHO IS NICK CARRAWAY?
