Well done!

Hi everyone,

Firstly, a huge well-done for the quality and success of your final drafts for the AIC essay - I really enjoyed reading them and it was great to see so many people acting on the targets that you've been set. I hope it's clear to you that the harder you work on these essays, the better you are going to do - it's this factor which influences your success most of all, rather than whether you think you are 'good at English' or not!

OK - just to confirm your homework. I'd like you to read or re-read chapter 23 of the novel, and note down key quotations which we could use for the essay. Remember that we are looking for quotations which either promote or detract sympathy from the monster in the readers' eyes. Remember also that lots of us have targets asking us to think about how the same pieces of writing could be interpreted differently by different readers. Therefore, think about this when selecting your quotations.

5 quotations from everybody please. If you want to push yourself, do the same for another chapter of your choice -one which you think is important in influencing the readers' feelings towards the character.

Ta-ra,

Mr Boulter
