The aim of these two sessions was to prepare students for our first A2 essay. The title being considered is:
'THE OPENING CHAPTERS OF THE NOVEL INTRODUCE THE THEME OF CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.' To what extent do you agree with this statement?
The first session involved group work and class discussion that considered potential content and second lesson was a much more teacher directed class discussion. THIS IS A MASSIVE ESSAY. Students are aware of the features of written work that need to improve. I have offered a very gentle introduction to the course as we have been exploring the opening chapters of this exam text. This is our first real written challenge. In Friday's session students were introduced to a potential essay structure. The most useful moment from Friday's session was when students discussed the significance of Victor's line..'I wandered like an evil spirit.' This is the level of analysis that you need to replicate in written work.
HOMEWORK: Read the creature's narrative and begin work on the essay. I will be discussing the essay for 10/15 minutes on Wednesday before exploring issues linked to the creature's narrative.
