Paper 2 Homework - 3/1/17

Hi folks,

Your homework is due in on Thursday:

• Do Q3, below. Spend 5 minutes annotating first, and then allow yourself 12 minutes for writing your answer. Here is the question:

Remember, this is language analysis, so look out for:

• word choices
• terms of address (what Henry calls his father)
• imagery
• rhetorical devices (hyperbole, alliteration, tricolon, anaphora, etc.)

One more thing:

Before handing your book in on Thursday, I'd also like you to self-assess your Q2 response. Award yourself a mark out of 8 in green. Here's the mark scheme:

As I said today, I'll be marking your books once a week so that by the time you get to the exam, you know the papers and questions inside out. Feedback will be done mostly in class, so you can expect a mark (and perhaps a target code) on your book. No comments.

Here's a reminder of our schedule:

Monday 1: English Language practice

Monday 4: Lit 1 - Macbeth/GE

Tuesday 1: English Language practice

Wednesday 4: Lit 2 - AIC

Thursday 2: Lit 2 - Poetry

Finally, in case you're interested, here is the article I mentioned which prompted me to set myself a target of reading 52 books this year. As I said, if you read 15 pages a night, you'll finish Great Expectations in about 36 days. 25 pages a night? 22 days. If you read a chapter a day, you'll be done in two months. No problem! That'll leave you loads of time to re-read An Inspector Calls (which is only 72 pages long).

Thanks for reading,

Mr M
