What did you think of the paper?

Lovely 'ending's' question--and narrator/voice one! So hopefully you enjoyed it.

I thought that the Gatsby question was interesting as well--like a combination of the dream and the tragedy--writing on Chapter 9 would have put you in the zone for that.

Now we shall move on to the Gothic unit--12 C--and the Critical anthology for 12 E--so you should all be a) looking at Oxford Gothic buildings, and watching films of Frankenstein, and b) thinking about feminism and different ways of reading to prepare yourselves.

Enjoy work experience, and see you afterwards...

Pre-exam session tomorrow

Just before tomorrow's exam, there will be a session to remind you of the key points of Aspects of Narrative, in the hall. Don't be late.

DON'T FORGET TO BRING YOUR CLEAN COPIES OF YOUR TEXTS
YOU DON'T NEED COPIES OF THE POETRY--THIS WILL BE PROVIDED

YOU DO NEED COPIES OF GATSBY AND THE CURIOUS INCIDENT

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

REVISION SESSION

Just to let you know... Miss Stubbings is running a revision session for Aspects of Narrative on MONDAY after school in room 5. Do go if you need a bit of extra input--she has kindly said that she is happy to see students from other groups!

STOP PRESS if she is slightly late, PLEASE WAIT as there is a short staff meeting which she may have to go to first

I'm Back!

Yes, thanks to the miracle of the new router, my internet connection has been re-established--did you miss me? Or notice I was gone? All revising too hard for Tuesday, no doubt.

Remember, this exam is fine as long as you remember the AOs for each area.

Section Aa--AO2
Section Ab--AOs 1,3,4
Section B--AOs 1,2,3

Don't assume the examiner will notice how wonderful you are unless you signal it by telling them explicitly when you are looking at something in particular. Using words like form and structure really helps to let them realise that you are talking about form and structure!
