Dear All:

Here's a link to an online version of the play, with your key scene:

Remember-- you're doing from line 58 ("If we fail?") to the end.

Hi Y'all!

I'm currently with Year 8 at a performance of Macbeth; sorry to miss you!

I'd like you to scour the internet for resources on Simon Armitage and Carol-Ann Duffy. While both of these poets will get plenty of mentions in an internet search, I'd like you to select the very best- the most helpful websites, etc.-- that could help you revise for your Literature Examination.

Reminder: The poems you need to revise-

Armitage: Mother, Any distance..., Homecoming, Kid, Hitcher ('My Father' is optional)
Duffy: Havisham, Anne Hathaway, Education for Leisure, Before You Were Mine

When you find a resource, copy the address to a Word document; try to print off your lists at the end of the lesson, and bring these to your lesson tomorrow.

If you tire of searching, concentrate on the following task:

Look at 'Hitcher' and 'Havisham'. Compare the methods and language Armitage and Duffy use to create an impression of mentally unstable characters.

Remember-- your Of Mice And Men essay is due in tomorrow!

Ta!
Mr H
