The first session considered how to push a paragraph from a C grade to an A grade.This was a very useful session and students were urged to develop the ability to explain how textual reference supports their argument.
The session then considered the question:
IN AN INTRODUCTION TO THE NOVEL, MARY SHELLEY STATED THAT SHE WISHED TO 'CURDLE BLOOD AND QUICKEN THE BEATINGS OF THE HEART.' To what extent do you think she achieved her aims?
The Thursday session involved the class attempting this question as a timed essay.
The Monday session [27th April] explored the creature's final speech in Shelley's Frankenstein and explored to what extent this speech reflects the features of a gothic text.
The discussion then moved on to discuss the Section B question:
'THE GOTHIC TEXT IS MEANINGLESS AND PREDICTABLE.' To what extent do you agree with this statement?
HOMEWORK: Complete the Section B question discussed in today's session. Students should plan their response, organise their textual reference, then spend one hour writing. LAUREN and KIRSTEN are expected to attempt this essay. LAUREN...you owe me work.
