Hi all, and well done on your performance in the lesson today. By Monday, I'd like you to have decided on which essay title you'd like to commit to. I'd also like you to do some planning and thinking as to the approach you might take. Decisions you need to make include:
- which sections / scenes will be most relevant to your study, and therefore need to be re-read and annotated?
- which quotations or key moments require focus?
- what are the key points that you might include in your essay?
This requires careful thought, reading and planning; in some ways essay writing at this stage is a highly creative exercise, and it can be very exciting to come up with some 'killer' points. My advice is that you don't let yourself be too easily satisfied with your initial thoughts and ideas- there are often radically different interpretations that can be reached, and it's interesting to think about these.
Anyway, have fun and I'll see you on Monday.
Mr Boulter
