How’s it going?
This week, we’ll keep on doing coursework reading / research
/ prep and we’ll do a bit of revision too. I’m also intending to throw some
short stories your way for your coursework consideration. Here goes:
Here’s your work (for Thursday):
2) Continue to do some research, reading and thinking about
coursework options. All the info and docs
you need can be found in Lockdown Lit 11.
3) If you haven’t already, listen to this podcast as a revision exercise. It's also available to download
on iTunes (search 'Lend Me Your Ears'). It starts off with a gentle intro and plot
summary (the first 12 minutes), but gets into some interesting discussions
around key themes: race, identity, outsiders, storytelling etc.
Optional extra:
4) Want to read a great short story? Try Daphne Du Maurier’s
The
Birds. Consider: which section
of the Critical Anthology would work best with it as a coursework option?
There’s an abridged audio version here.
Next time, my plan is to give you some more revision, more
time to explore coursework ideas and to start giving you some more short
stories and extracts to read and respond to. I’ll figure it out.
Apologies – I’m a little behind in my mini-essay marking and
writing. I’ll get it sorted this week.
Right, I’ve got to go to school!
Let me know if you need anything.
