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?

Homework for over half term...


You will all be reading all your texts again. This is especially important for The Bloody Chamber.

As you're reading you will be making notes on the following gothic themes. You can do this any way you like, but I suggest having a page for each and making notes / brainstorm as you read through the texts. You should concentrate on your specialist subject which you'll be presenting to the class on first lesson back, Monday 1&2.

Your notes should explore links between your texts, not just Macbeth, but The Bloody Chamber and Wuthering Heights too!

Rosie - Liminality
Aleks - Opposition
Chris - Uncanny
Akanksha- Howwor and Tewwa
Emma - Ambiguity
Aisha - Twisted “gothic” love
Saways - Setting
Roman - Supernatural
Craney - Byronic Hero

Once you have eight pages of superb notes, which will include initial thoughts, quotes, and explicit links between texts and themes - you will flesh out your presentation on your specific theme to teach the rest of the class.
