Students were offered Duffy's HAVISHAM and Hughes' WIND and encouraged to identify the significance of metaphor in each poem. Students need to consider the text that will become the critical stimulus for the Anthology Coursework.
The heart of the lesson was a consideration of the title:
HOW DOES SHELLEY CREATE A SENSE OF DRAMATIC EXPECTATION IN THE OPENING SECTION OF FRANKENSTEIN?
Class discussion considered Shelley's use of shocking content, the significance of the alternative title, the use of language, the representation of the creature, the representation of Victor, the narrative purpose of Walton's letters and the significance of location. This discussion will continue next lesson.
HOMEWORK: Students are expected to direct their reading towards a consideration of the title used as the focus for class discussion in today's lesson. THIS TITLE WILL BE YOUR NEXT ESSAY SO YOU MUST CONSIDER POTENTIAL CONTENT. I expect next week's discussion to be sophisticated and detailed. READ READ READ.
