Year 13 English a: December 2010

The Purpose of this blog

Your task on this blog is to write a brief summary of what we learned in class today. Include enough detail so that someone who was ill or missed the class can catch up with what they missed. Over the course of the term, these 'class scribe' posts will grow to be a guide for the course, written by students for students.

With each post ask yourself the following questions:
1) Is this good enough for our guide?
2) Will your post enable someone who wasnt here to catch up?
3) Would a graphic/video/link help to illustrate what we have learned?

This lesson we looked at the narrative structure over the three texts we are studying.

This lesson was essentially a plan for a section B essay. Within the lesson the first thing we did was split into two's and then try and look for different patterens within the narrative structure. We were particularly looking for fragmentations within the narrative. For example we found that Carter forces her view onto the reader through interruptions in the text where she talks directly to the reader.- e.g. In the lady of the house of love when she interupts with different parts of jack and the beanstalk.

We also discussed how this was Uncanny. This different story or unheimlich story was interrupting our story.- Arguably this could make us feel uncomfortable.

The lesson was just basically filling out the table and discuissing why we thought different parts were fragmented.

Our homework was to just finish the table
