The aim of this session was to continue exploring issues relating to Section B of the exam. The question that was used as a catalyst for class discussion was:
'IN GOTHIC WRITING, THE PRESENTATION OF PLACES IS OFTEN MORE INTERESTING THAN THE PRESENTATION OF THE CHARACTERS.'
HOW FAR DO YOU AGREE WITH THIS VIEW?
Class discussion was good but we really need to start writing the timed essays to make sure that the written work is confronting all the assessment objectives and that the critical argument is precise and coherent.
HOMEWORK: I gave students a handout today that has every past question relating to Shelley/Marlowe/Section B. I expect students to attempt three of these questions over the Spring break. I expect my digital pipe to be stuffed with essays. Choose three questions and attempt to construct a response.
WE HAVE A REVISION SESSION ON THE SECOND WEDNESDAY [23rd April] OF THE BREAK. 11/30am til 2pm. See you there Lit freaks.
STUDENTS SHOULD BE RE-READING ALL THE KEY TEXTS. THIS SPRING BREAK SHOULD ALLOW STUDENTS TO BEGIN REVISION AND FORM A SOUND FOUNDATION OF TEXTUAL UNDERSTANDING THAT WILL RESULT IN STUDENTS CONSTRUCTING A CONVINCING EXAM RESPONSE!! LOTS OF WORK TO DO FOLKS.
