Higher Holiday Homework

Your homework: Read Lord of the Flies (from start to finish!).

After the holiday, we will be working on:

1. One or two poems on the theme of childhood
2. Close Reading skills
3. Essay skills
4. Lord of the Flies (this text will be addressed very quickly, although thoroughly, so ensure you attend!)

AH Holiday Homework

See your class page for the homework.

Higher Homework due 10th February

1. Complete your Poem Evaluation sheet.

2. PRINT IT OUT

3. BRING it with you, IN PRINTED FORM for Period 1 tomorrow.

Higher Homework due 9th February

A reminder:

Homework: 
9th February:

1. Find a poem which deals with the theme of childhood.
2. Make sure it's one you understand, or at least are very interested in.
3. Make a copy of it, and bring it in on Wednesday (these will be the basis of Thursday's activities, so it's very important you do this one on time--if you wish to bring yours in earlier, that's fine!).
4. Fill out the 'Evaluating your poem' worksheet as far as you can (I have booked the laptops for Wednesday, so you will have an opportunity to finish this then, but as we have no printer ink, you will not be able to print out your poem!)

Higher documents

Hi everyone,

Look at the Higher page, and you'll find a link which will take you to the 'Evaluating your poem' sheet on Google Docs, where you should not have to sign up or sign in at all to access/download. Thank you for the suggestion, Charlie.

Please let me know how it goes. I didn't have much luck embedding through Google Docs, so it may be that I will need to double-post worksheets in this way. If you want to download class notes etc (such as the Childhood ones, you'll have to get a Slideshare account, as I won't have time to double-upload everything).

In all likelihood, we will probably end up with either two Higher pages, or documents embedded in individual posts with tags in order to keep track of it all...

Any further ideas, please do let me know!

Higher test posting now available on Higher page

Update: comments box now there, give it a go!

Hi everyone,
The comment box doesn't seem to be working for anyone except S1 and Advanced Higher right now, so try it here for now.

S3 Page Updated

S3, check your webpage for a few hastily-found websites for research, and for notice of the journal-check. If you are doing, or planning to do, an online journal, then you should submit the address to me no later than 09 Feb (Wednesday).

AH Reminder

AH chaps: Remember that you have a slightly different schedule tomorrow with Mrs P. All of you should work in Room 214 while Mrs P. meets with you individually regarding your dissertations and writing. First appointment is with Ross, for half a period.
