The Thursday session discussed issues relating to the essay and introduced the A2 Anthology. Students need to read the Anthology and need to consider the text that they will be using for this extremely important piece of work. This is 20% of your A2 grade! Students need to be considering the metaphor question or the canon question. WE ATE SOME FANTASTIC BUNS. Cheers Jess.
Monday's session discussed the coursework and introduced CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE'S 'THE TRAGICAL HISTORY OF Dr.FAUSTUS.'
HOMEWORK: Students need to be reading/watching/listening to versions of FAUSTUS. This is a fantastic play. Use the bar in the top-left of the blog to navigate through previous resources. WE need to start considering this play in the context of Shelley's Frankenstein to develop an understanding of the gothic tradition. Student success depends upon the critical reading that is taking place when we leave the classroom. Students need to be reading Frankenstein and Faustus. We have yet to conclude our initial analysis of Shelley's novel and I expect students to compare and contrast the two texts as we move towards the Winter Festival.
