The aim of this session was to develop student awareness of the demands of the Anthology Coursework. Students were made aware of the key comments relating to the purpose of metaphor that are evident within the AQA Anthology and were encouraged respond to these comments when shaping their coursework.See sheet below:
The class were then bullied into a consideration of how metaphor shapes meaning in BLESSING by Imtiaz Dharker and HAVISHAM by Carol Ann Duffy.
HOMEWORK: Students need to have decided which text will be the focus of their coursework. Next week I will briefly discuss the canon question and then I expect students to begin constructing the first draft of the 1200/1500 word response. Next week I will be discussing how to shape and structure the written response. Remember, the text can be any poem or short story.
