Mr Knight's Group - Holiday Fun!

For those of you who missed Wednesday's lesson:
a) You missed out.
b) We finished Othello, so it's up to you to read to the end. Once you've read it, watch this video to get a sense of the dramatic staging:



c) Your homework (due Tuesday 20th April) for the holidays is:
  1. Complete the reading logs (sheet available at O:\Students\ENGLISH\Mr Knight\Year 12) for all scenes to the end of the play.
  2. Set an exam question:
  • Choose a passage of 30-40 lines which you think includes particularly interesting representations of speech.
  • Pose a question, in the style of this exam example (Othello question on page 13), which you think is relevant to the section you have chosen and would make candidates consider the passage in a worthwhile context.
  • Prepare a mark scheme, in the style of page 18 of this example, listing possible points for candidates to consider.
  • Be prepared to discuss your question in our first lesson after the break.

I'm sure I don't need to remind you that you should also be doing your own independent revision - especially those of you who will be retaking ELLA1 on 27th May and need to refamiliarize themselves with Things Fall Apart and Streetcar...

With all that to do, I know you'll have a whale of a time and so I bid you all a happy holiday.
