Fled away into the storm...


Hi all,

Just a quick note to say a fond farewell to Mr Marshall, who is fleeing into the storm (well, starting a teaching practice at Chipping Norton) - if you're reading this, many thanks from all of us for the help and input you've provided.

I've had a look at the essays you wrote for question 1a, and overall they seem to be pretty good. You seem to have got the hang of the idea of choosing two or three key aspects of narrative from the given chapter and developing discussion into detail, so with the Chapter 9 answers there was plenty of focus on narrative voice, whereas the chapter 11 essays looked at form and language in more detail. We need to signpost our answers a little more clearly, making sure that points about narrative are made explicit, but overall I think you can enter the Easter break feeling encouraged about the progress made this term.

Tomorrow, we'll turn our attention to question 1B, analysing the style of questions likely to be posed, and having a go at one for EL. Over the holidays, I'll need you to write 2 more answers for Qu1a and 2 for Qu1b.

See you then,

Mr Boulter
