Thank you all for your hard work in today's lessons. I realise that some of the things we were doing were quite difficult, but I felt you all coped really well with it. If some things are still not clear, try explaining them in your lesson journal (i.e. your blog) and see if anything becomes clearer. If not, please say and I'll try to help you out. Overall, things will probably become clearer when we start looking at the text properly (If you haven't already read The Kite Runner, I advise you get started pretty quick as we will not be reading all of it in class together).
As this is going to be your first entry in your Lesson Journal, I'll give you a quick run down of some of the activities we did today (If you are not yet doing so, I advise you start taking your own notes in lessons to help you remember).
Sequence
1. Pictures in different orders
2. Looking at Memento and Time Traveler's Wife extracts
3. Looking at The Secret History extract
4. 4 places from which to start a Crime narrative.
5. Reading of Digging to America extract
6. Summaries of The Interpretation of Murder, On Chesil Beach and Brave New World
Remember: You don't have to write about each part of the lessons! What I want from this activity is for you to be able to process some of the thoughts you might have had in today's lessons and for me to be able to see what those thoughts are in order to help and stretch you in future lessons.
How you write down your thoughts is up to you. It could be in chronological order, or it could just be an exploration of one individual idea that you found of particular interest. And please: don't be dull in your responses; say something interesting. Be creative. (It can be informal; just don't write it in text-speak - that's not going to help you with your written expression! (AO1))
Looking forward to seeing your responses!
Ssssssssssuper.
