Holiday Reading

Merry Christmas Y11

I realise that lots of you are a bit annoyed with me for making you work until the very end of term, but you are in school and, significantly, in Y11. What would be the point in you coming to school if you didn't have work to do? You can watch loads of films over the holidays.

When you're not watching films, you'll be reading Lord of the Flies. You should have a copy of this. If you haven't, a well known internet website will deliver them to your door - here's the link. This won't leave you a massive amount of time so you could also go to a bookshop or ask Santa for one. If this is a problem, let me know as soon as possible. You can email me at school and I will do my utmost to ensure that you get a copy. 

Have a look at sparknotes too.  It's been a Literature text since long I did my GCSEs so there's lots of stuff available to you. If you find a good site, please leave the link in the comments box. Share and care. 

You will love this book by the end of term - I'll make sure of it!

Merry Christmas!

Hello Y11

In the final few lessons of term we looked at cummings' poem from the Anthology.

We explored patriotism and irony.
Here are the lessons.


I think it's fantastic poem and I think we had fun with it.
Here are some of the links that won't work via Slide Share.
Cummings reading the poem.
The world's biggest flag?
The song with Ironic in the title but no actual irony!
