Y12: Contextual Knowledge - Death of a Salesman

Hi,

I'm not in on Thursday. You won't need to come to the lesson, just do the stuff below.

Here are the things I've asked you to do:

1. Consider buying your own copy of Death of a Salesman (this edition is good, if you can get hold of it)
2. Research the life, times and work of Arthur Miller. Come to next Monday's lesson with some interesting info to share.
3. Join our Quizlet class here. This will be essential when I ask you to start learning quotes and key words.
4. Put your email address into the 'follow by email' box ---->(up a bit)^^
5. Read and re-read the contextual information in the document below:

Expect to be quizzed about tragedy and the context stuff above on Monday!

Y12: La Belle Dame Sans Merci

Hi all,

You can find a link to the handy comic book version of Keats' La Belle Dame Sans Merci here.

If you want to find out more about Keats, this website is very useful.

This video, which explains Romanticism (the poetic movement which Keats was a part of), is essential viewing.

Exam Post-Mortem

Hi,

In order to learn the lessons from this summer's AS exams, I've uploaded some materials that the board have put out to explain a) what they were looking for, and b) what they found when marking the exams.

Here's some advice which was published shortly before the exams:

And here's the examiner's report on your exams:

We'll be using this stuff in upcoming lessons to hone our exam technique. It's worth a skim, but I'll summarise the key messages for you soon.
