Year 12 - I have got a copy of the Enduring Love revision book for each of you, so please pop in to see me and pick up yours. Thanks to the five of you who made it in to today's bizarrely philosophical lesson, in which we decided that Jed had it right all along and that we should all look into how you catch De Clerambaults' syndrome as the likeliest path to happiness. Or I did anyway.
Do have a go at writing one or two essays this week and getting them to me / bringing on Friday ... I know there's other stuff going on, but it's really worth the effort at this stage.
See you soon,
Mr Boulter

Essay titles
Year 12,
Thank you for your focused and active performance in today's lesson. Here are the essay titles we looked at - you need to have a go at one or two of these over the weekend please. Remember the planning strategy we looked at and the need to address AO3 and get some reference to context in your response, ie link your point to an aspect of the conditions in which the novel was produced or is received.
“Love is presented as flawed and temporary in this novel.” What is your response to this point of view?
How important are the locations of country and city in the novel?
To what extent is the use of real life characters and their work important in the novel?
What do you think is important about the role of literature in the novel?
What meanings can you find in the title of the novel?
“Unreliability is an ineradicable part of what we are.” How far is this supported by EL?
Some people say that Mrs Logan is a pointless distraction to the main themes of the novel. What do you think about the importance of Mrs Logan in the whole of Enduring Love?
What does McEwan have to say about man’s ability to be happy in the novel?
See you on Monday and enjoy your weekend,
Mr Boulter

Learning and links!
Hi all,
OK - over recent lessons we have focused in detail on qu1a, and now need to do the same for qu1b. We'll look at the key targets of:
- planning to esnure coverage of AO3 (different interpretations)
- developing the sophistication of our intepretations, through considering a wider range of themes and looking for links between them
I'll add some reflection to this after the lesson, but these links will be useful for you. Here is some useful activities for revision - particularly the chapter questions: http://www.teachit.co.uk/index.asp?CurrMenu=155&T=380 . Ignore the documents here about exam preparation, as they are related to the old syllabus.
Homework from now on is to send me / give me as many practice essays as you want. It's probably best to handwrite them in order to get a proper sense of the experience.
Great see you in a bit!
