The aim of today's session was for students to display their contextual understanding of JERUSALEM. I was very disappointed with the level of intellectual engagement last week so was hoping that students had bothered to digest the resources provided. The lesson consisted of three group tasks. Students were asked to consider three questions:
- What is the purpose of comedy within the play?
- Is this a play about England?
- What is the dramatic purpose of Rooster Byron?
Most of the discussion was superb. The coursework is fast approaching so it is incredibly important that students engage with this play. This is a complex text and demands your attention.
HOMEWORK: Continue to digest the resources. Students should be selecting their exam question.
Tomorrow we will consider the question:
'COMEDY IS LAUGHTER AS DISTRACTION. DRAMATIC COMEDY RARELY CONFRONTS SERIOUS SOCIAL ISSUES.' To what extent can this view be applied to Jerusalem?
