The aim of these two sessions was to continue to encourage students to discuss the value and function of LITERATURE in preparation for the FIRST A Level essay. The session on Thursday discussed Marvell's To His Coy Mistress and Shakey's Sonnet 18. The Monday session discussed the purpose of literature and considered the content of John Cooper Clarke's Twat and Hollie McNish's Embarrassed.
The response to McNish's poem was excellent.
HOMEWORK: Read ALL the material that I have given you. In our next lesson I will be exploring the poetry of Wordsworth, Marvell, Shakespeare, McNish, Heaney, and Imtiaz Dharker. One of these poems will be the text that will be the focus of your first essay. YOU DECIDE which poem you will be exploring.
Great interview with Hollie McNish in Hull Central Library:
