The focus of this session was the Anthology Coursework. Class discussion considered issues relating to both the metaphor question and the canon question. Specific focus was placed upon the brilliant Simon Armitage poem 'Mother any distance'. This poem was used to offer the students a possible structure for a metaphor essay.
HOMEWORK: Read the poems I gave you today as these texts will provide the analytical focus of the next session. READ THE EXEMPLAR ESSAYS. CHOOSE YOUR TEXT.
