Dear all,
You will start using this blogging site to post some of your homework tasks. If you are reading these instructions, well done!
All you have to do is write a comment in the comment space below the task.
Formulate 1 essay question following the model in class today (on another set of poems and a different focus) and respond to each other’s essay titles. So, write 1 essay title and respond to 2 students’ essay titles.
By responding, I mean giving feedback as to the validity of the essay titles. For example, "I think your essay title works well"; or, "Maybe you need a different focus as it doesn't really work for the poem....".
Remember! This is a public forum that everyone has access to. The purpose of this process is to share thoughts and views and offer positive feedback.
Thank you.
Mrs Gougeon

'Explore how the theme of identity is developed in either Continuum or Where I Come From'
ReplyDeleteWell Drew, I think that although 'Where I Come From' does approach the theme of identity, Continuum does less so, and perhaps an alternative to this would be appropriate such as 'Explore how the theme of identity is developed in either Where I Come From or A Different History. May I also add that the task be reworded to 'How is the theme of identity conveyed in…or...?', for I find the wording more direct.

DeleteI think your essay title works well although I agree with your comments that perhaps the poems chosen did not match the theme of identity.
DeleteI disagree with Drew the First, I think that both Continuum and Where I come from both explore the theme of identity quite well.
DeleteExplore how the theme of religion is developed in either a different history or pied beauty.
ReplyDeleteP.S may have commented already having trouble with the comment system.
All good, Luke.
DeleteThank you very much.

Question worked really well, religion was a very clear theme/topic included in both of those poems.
DeleteExplore how the theme of nature is explored in either Summer Farm or Hunting Snake
ReplyDeleteI would perhaps suggest that you re-word the question, and look focus on the perception, or the perspective on, or of nature. For example "Explore how the theme of nature is perceived in either… or…"
DeleteExplore the theme of identity in either A Different History or Summer Farm.
ReplyDeleteExplore how the tone is developed in either A Birthday or The Woodspurge.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure as to whether 'developed' would be the right word to use, for the tone is consistent throughout both of the poems chosen. You could instead say "Explore how the tone is created in either…or…"
DeleteOh, yeah that is true. Thanks Drew!

ReplyDeleteKeep going Y11. You're doing well.
Thank you.

Explore how nature is portrayed in either 'The Cockroach' or 'Horses'.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a good question as nature is a clear theme in the two poems

Explore how the theme of personal reflection is developed in either A Birthday or The Cockroach.
ReplyDeleteHow is the theme of human nature explored in The Cockroach?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you're supposed to structure this task as a question, as such, bit more along the lines of telling the person what he or she is supposed to do by structuring it along the lines of ''Explore how....is developed in...." but then again I'm not sure if you can structure it as a question so it all depends.
DeleteExplore how the theme of time is developed in horses
ReplyDeleteGood idea here but another poem may be consider as an option when giving a task(not sure if it is necessary though). This is a good poem to choose for the theme of time by the way.
DeleteExplore how the theme of self reflection is developed in the poems Continuum and The Cocroach
ReplyDeleteI would say personal reflection is a clear theme in the cockroach but less so in continuum perhaps use a different poem such as where I come from
DeleteExplore how the speaker reflects upon the process of life in the cockroach
