Hello Year 12, and welcome back to your blog for 2009! I trust you all had a wonderfully relaxing and rejuvenating break, and are ready to get stuck into some high quality study this year. Mr Snapper and myself are agreed that you worked extremely well last year particularly in term 2, and we look forward to seeing you continue to develop as a group. Our main priorities at the moment are to:
- review The Eve of St Agnes, and analyse the text in the light of the narrative devices and approaches that Keats employs. This will be our task on Monday's lesson.
- read and analyse our third and final Keats poem, Lamia. This is the last one we have to study for the exam anyway- we'll have a look at some of the others as well in the spirit of enrichment and independent reading for you.
Also, coursework final drafts need to be handed in by the 23rd Jan. We'll discuss this in the morning, but I'd also like to arrange a time with you individually to see how you're getting on with this.
Finally, we need to get going on our detailed study of a novel. I know we initially thought we'd like to do The Kite Runner- and we should certainly all have read this by now- but we also spoke last term about the possibility of changing our detailed study to McEwan's Enduring Love - there are some good reasons for this I think, so let's discuss tomorrow also.
Happy New Year to all, and I look forward to seeing you all at school tomorrow.
Mr Boulter
