The Tuesday session considered the 'pure imagination' exam question linked to TROTAM. Class discussion shaped a possible essay structure before the class received the gift of a 25 minute timed response. The Friday session considered issues relating to JEZ BUTTERWORTH'S JERUSALEM. This will be our coursework text. The class received a booklet that will help students understand the key themes and issues being explored through this petrol bomb of a play. BELOW IS A LINK TO A LOT OF RESOURCES THAT WILL ALLOW STUDENTS TO DEVELOP AN INFORMED UNDERSTANDING OF BUTTERWORTH'S PLAY:

HOMEWORK: READ JERUSALEM and the booklet that I gave to the class on Friday. When we arrive back at the house of fun we will begin shaping the coursework.
Students need to continue to read all our set texts. WE will be discussing TROTAM, GATSBY AND AUDEN when we return to the land of a thousand smiling faces as we need to consider the skills required to confront Section B of the exam. READ.READ.READ.
