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
