Right, so Snow Day II it is! I'm a bit worried at missing all this time, particularly as we have an INSET day next Friday and I'm going to disappear soon anyway. As a result, I'm going to set you some work to do over the weekend, and I'll also try to come in for at least a couple of the lessons I'll miss when I'm on paternity leave- I'll let you know the details of this as soon as I can.
In time for Monday's lesson, could you make sure that you have:
- re-read Chapter 1 of Enduring Love
- Made notes on the ways that McEwan begins his narrative. In particular, I'd like you to focus on the following questions:
- what is the form of narration? To answer this you'll need to read this page: http://www.ehow.com/how_2064037_identify-narrative-style-literature.html
- What does McEwan suggest about the characters of Joe and Clarissa in the opening chapter? Find 3 pieces of evidence for each and discuss.
- What style of language is employed in the chapter? Find examples and comment on them
- How does McEwan attempt to engage our interest in the opening chapter? Write about 500 words on this please.
OK, that should keep you busy and prepare us for a very focused 'catch-up' lesson on Monday- please make sure that you bring books and your homework with you.
Have a great weekend,
Mr Boulter
ps- surely we'll be in on Monday???! It is forecasting Heavy Snow at the moment though, and I really will get worried if we miss that as well! But don't panic. We'll catch up with everything, as long as you apply yourselves properly at home.
