The aim of this session was to offer a final overview of appropriate content for the Anthology coursework. A resource was provided that offers a generic essay structure for the Metaphor question and Marvell's TO HIS COY MISTRESS was used to illustrate this essay structure. Reference was also made to Wordsworth's DAFFODILS as this is a fine poem for examining the role of metaphor and how it is used by Wordsworth to shape meaning. The class discussion also touched upon bad 'chat up' lines, shouting at the sea, baking, Northern Soul, and why the head of ofsted needs his head rubbing with my knuckles.
Oh...and after the Mid-Winter Break we will begin our great Beverley Bake Off! Adam has offered to bake the first cake. Good Man!
HOMEWORK: The deadline for the first-draft of the Anthology coursework is NEXT FRIDAY. I will be available to discuss coursework content throughout the week. On Friday I will park my enormous derriere in E2 and be available to discuss coursework with any individual who appears in the classroom. I will repeat this process next Wednesday and i expect ALL first-drafts to be handed to me before I leave school on Friday. This is 20% of your A2 grade folks so you really need to approach this work in a very precise manner. The recent essays were fantastic. If this quality is repeated,
the coursework will be outstanding.
GOOD LUCK.
