The aim of today's session was to continue to explore the possible content of the half-term essay. Students choose ONE of the THREE titles. The focus of the lesson was to reinforce how this essay should be shaped to engage the assessment objectives. THIS IS A BIG ESSAY. This work will allow me to gauge the level of textual understanding and assess the quality and clarity of written work. Students need to be particularly coherent when considering author's aim. I have provided a mass of material to aid student understanding of the three essay titles....SO NOW YOU NEED TO PRODUCE A WRITTEN RESPONSE. I will be collecting the work just before we begin our next lesson.
HOMEWORK: Complete the essay, read the text, and consider a poem that will be suitable for your coursework.
The essay is a substantial piece of work. SHOW ME YOU ARE LISTENING. SHOW ME THAT YOU ARE READING. SHOW ME THAT YOU ARE SYNTHESISING CONTEXTUAL MATERIAL AND ARE FORMING A CREDIBLE CRITICAL READING OF THE NOVEL. Students should ensure that they follow the paragraph stucture that I offer in the notes that I gave students at the beginning of this session. I am particularly interested in the final section of the paragraph as this is the section that deals with author's aim/question focus/gothic or critical reference.
The essay should be a concise and precise 1200/1500 word response. Four paragraphs and a precise conclusion will please me!
Good Luck. Any issues...i am just at the end of the digital pipe!
