I am in moderation all day today so am unable to be in the lesson with you. I would like you to continue with some work in my absence. Once you have completed the task, please email me to let me know you have done it - I won't be able to mark you present until I have evidence that you have completed the task.
On Wednesday we discussed the possibility of an all encapsulating theme as the focus of your Heartbreaking Work question, rather than an individual theme. With that in mind, I'd like you to do some work on this question:
Using integrated literary and linguistic approaches, discuss how the theme of home is presented in A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius.
We also have been focusing on the importance of exploring and analysing the text through the language levels:
- Grammar
- Lexis and Semantics
- Structure and Discourse
- Phonology
- Pragmatics
Task
Plan a response to the question above using the language levels and the PEE writing frames.
Complete an introductory paragraph, and 4 subsequent paragraphs. Email me with these once you have completed one, and again anonymously post your best paragraph to the Padlet page:
If you feel you can complete an entire essay, please do so.
Additionally, continue with the homework due for Wednesday:
- Research 'The Darkling Thrush' and do some initial annotations
- Complete a 200 word blog post on why you love your favourite season.
In Wednesday'es lesson we will be doing some work on commentary writing.
Don't forget to email me and update the Padlet page.
See you Wednesday
Claudia
