Lesson 27 was a timed essay and the aim of today's session was to introduce students to the second exam text: THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER. The session considered:
- How Coleridge represents the Mariner in the opening section
- How Coleridge represents the natural world
- The significance of the ballad form.
This was an introduction to the poem and it is important that students use the resources offered on BE CURIOUS to develop an informed understanding of this famous poem.
Rebecca won the ONOMATOPOEIA challenge. Well done RL.
Homework: Students need to watch the BBC ROMANTICS documentary series. See the link on the previous blog entry. This resource will allow students to comprehend the historical, social, political and philosophical context of the late eighteenth century. This is an incredibly useful resource and I urge ALL students to digest this series. IT IS A VERY GOOD RESOURCE.

Students need to read sections two and three for homework and I would advise reading the final section as this will allow students to comprehend the supernatural nature of the Mariner and why he must tell his tale.
