Emotion in Frankenstein

Hi Y10

Some great presentations this week! Well done. Now that we know about context, it's good for us to start to do some close analysis. 

Some key points for this assessment then. 

Formative Assessment: Explore the ways emotional voices are presented in the texts you have studied. Controlled Assessment: Explore the ways disturbed characters are presented in the texts you have studied About 2000 word essay Clean copy of scenes/chapters/text used in the C.A. 4 hours given. 20 lessons + 4 for Controlled Assessment

What are you expected to produce throughout this unit of work?
Throughout, you are collating your own quotation banks, character profiles and contextual information. You'll then write an essay.

Don't forget the homework in the final slide. Example paragraphs are also here.

Context Presentations

Hi Y10
I am very excited about your presentations next week; they certainly have the makings of excellent teaching and it'll be interesting to see what you've researched, how you've linked it to the text and, of course, how you have chosen to present it. 
You'll be giving your presentations on Monday and Wednesday next week.
This is what you need to include:
Skilled presentations - 
1.Comment on the effect and importance of the context in which the text was written 

2.Have clear links to the text

3.Present the information clearly so that the aspect is understood

Excellent presentations - 

1.Explain with increasing sophistication the significance of the historical context on the text

2.Have precise and detailed links to the text

3.Present the information in a dynamic and informative way

As a reminder, in this CA you are expected to:
-Respond to texts critically and imaginatively; selecting and evaluating  relevant quotations to illustrate and support your interpretations
·Explain how language, structure and form contribute to writers’ presentation of ideas, themes and settings
·Explain links between texts, evaluating writers’ different ways of expressing meaning and achieving effects
·Relate texts to their social, cultural and historical contexts; explain how texts have been influential and significant to you and other readers in different contexts and at different times

This final point is the focus for these presentations and it's the relate bit that's key! We've worked really well on the first two points with OMAM and you targets from the formative assessment here will of course apply to these texts too. 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello all
Right, by Monday you MUST have read the text. It's a slow starter, but becomes a gripping read.
HOMEWORK: Finish the storyboard/comic strip to summarise key moments and points in the novel (however you have chosen to tell the story).
  Skilled Storyboards will have...

1.A title that reflects your understanding of the extract

2.A summary of the extract with some quotes

3.Pictures that accurately reflect the content of the extract

Excellent Story boards will have...

1. A title that shows a sophisticated understanding of the significance of the extract/ section

2. A summary of the key point with well selected and embedded quotations

3. Pictures that reflect a sohisticated appreciation of Shelly's use of imagery

 

You can also use this video, which I think is very good to guide you/ support your learning.

 

Next week we'll have a focus on context and you'll give presentation on an aspect of the context that I will give you.

 

Let me know if you have any problems/ questions.
