Y13: Homework

You will need to do some specific research for next week.

Look at http://www.delpiano.com/carnival/html/commedia.html (this is the correct website!) and find out about the different types of characters - I will test you on them on Monday when look at Puss in Boots.

I WILL now be in your P2 lesson on Thursday. However, if you don't get this note in time, then you will still need to complete your reading of The Courtship of Mr Lyon and answer the following question:

Is The Courtship of Mr Lyon intended to be in the style of a traditional fairy tale? 500-700 words

Y11: Poems

Use some of the poems from this link

http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/top_poems.html

to practice your poetry skills.

A reminder of the question:

30 minutes
Write about the poem and its effect on you
You may wish to include some or all of these points:
*the poem's content - what it is about;
*the ideas the poet may have wanted us to think about;
*the mood or atmosphere of the poem;
*how it is written - words or phrases you find interesting, the way the poem is structures or organised, and so on;
*your response to the poem

I'd recommend you do at least two or three poems before the mock.

Good luck!
