Hi all,
Just a quick post to say a really sincere well done for your performance in the lesson on Thursday. We looked at the opening of the play with the intention of learning how to analyse a text in detail, picking up and commenting on nuance and subtle aspects of the writer's craft. You did this superbly, as proved by the fact that we spent about twenty minutes discussing the first ten words (so have you decided on your interpretation of why he does pass the port to Eric...)!
Anyway, in terms of effort, application and the way you handled a long discussion, it was an excellent class performance, so well done.
Thanks also for getting your homework in on time - I'm looking forward to marking these but it will have to be later in the week (Year 11 coursework to mark as well I'm afraid).
The plan for this week is as follows:
- learn about another couple of techniques that Priestley uses, namely dramatic irony and entrances / exits
- learn how we might go about planning an essay of this sort
- gather evidence and quotations for our essay
- analyse some models of excellence and understand our success criteria
- be ready to write our essay in class next week
Hope this is all clear, and once again well done to all,
Mr Boulter
