Technical Problems have been resolved

. 

Hello Y11
Well done for working through the heat today.
You should know the text very well by now. You should also know the quotes that you are going to use for your essay. We will sit this assessment in the week between work experience and half term.

For your homework you need to write two PEE+ paragraphs. This should be at least 500 words of analysis (remember not to tell the story. 

Your title is:

Explore the ways that Lennie is presented and explored in Of Mice and Men.

We have looked in detail at the progression of Lennie's violence, but also how the audience remain sympathetic to Lennie. Steinbeck creates this sympathy - how? The murder of Curley's wife helps our understanding Lennie. Whilst she 'flop(s) like a fish' we are concerned about Lennie and fearful for his future. Here is the Powerpoint we looked at in class; look at the very clear success criteria for the paragraphs. The explanation is not written in, but you should look at what you have to do and write it yourself. Ensure you have quotes from other parts of the novella in your analysis. Technical issues have now been resolved and you can access PPt here It is also available in the Student Shared area.
We will then peer assess on Monday morning. We then only have one more lesson before the CA...

Enjoy the sunshine this weekend.

Hello Y10

I hope you're now settled in to life as a Y11 student. This year will pass extraordinarily quickly so it's imperative that you focus immediately and get to work. You have done well at this this term. 

Last week we started reading Of Mice and Men, an excellent novel. We will finish reading it this week. As I said in class, you will have a Controlled Assessment on this book and you will answer a question on it in your final English Literature exam. Therefore, it is important that you read and re-read the book. 

You need to come to Monday's lesson having read to the end of Section 3. Look at the questions on page 62, though I don't need you to write written answers.  We'll consider the questions together in class.

Finally, please remember our first lesson of the year on talent and hard word. Hard work is what makes people succeed, as Michael Jordan says, don't make excuses...
