Lockdown Literature 6.2

Hi all,

Thanks as always for your excellent effort so far this week. Before you go any further, just double-check that you got Tuesday’s quiz done – I have a few gaps. 

You are now one year away from your first English exam! Don’t worry though: even though we’re losing lesson time, we’re still on schedule to get everything done. More importantly, it’s just over a week until half term. We won’t quite get to the end of the book by then, but we’re nearly there!

Here’s your work for today (due in on Tuesday):

1) Do this quiz on Chapters 50-52.

2) Have a read of my answers to the questions you did in the quiz on 49.  
If you are viewing on an Apple device and can’t see the download/full-screen buttons, download here.

3) Read Chapter 53 of Great Expectations. It’s dramatic! You can use my notes to help you annotate.

4) Make some chapter notes by either:

a) doing a page of Cornell notes under the title: Chapter 53 – The Sluice-House

OR

b) building sentences around the following fragments (in this order):

• uses pathetic fallacy
• when he gets to the sluice-house
• accuses him of
• plans to put his body
• pip has visions of
• the sudden arrival of
• one of his saviours
• by the end of the chapter

Remember, it’s either a or b for the last task – take your pick. You can use the same title for either task.

That’s it for this week. I hope you enjoy Chapter 53!

Take care,

Mr M
