You have done some fantastic collaborative planning this week. I am particularly impressed by the notes you made in Mr Gun-Why's lesson on Thursday. You can find photos of your work below to help you with your writing over the weekend.
Remember: 2 hours each day; 3 at the weekend!

Your homework this week is reading on psychoanalysis and other feminist literature of the period. You can find the links in the previous blog post. The first draft of your coursework is due on Tuesday 18th October 2016.


Have a lovely week,


Miss Ryall

Wider Reading for Week 4

Hello year 13s,

There are three texts I'd like you to read this week:

1. A summary of Freud's theory of psychoanalysis (we are going to apply this to The Yellow Wallpaper next week). https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByjTQpSbakfiM1Z3TjhKbW5KWXM/view?usp=sharing 
2. Kate Chopin's - 'The Story of an Hour' (this short story by Perkins Gilman's contemporary explores similar themes and can be referred to in your coursework). http://archive.vcu.edu/english/engweb/webtexts/hour/ 
3. 'The Revolt of Mother' (likewise, explores similar themes from a contemporary female author). https://americanliterature.com/author/mary-e-wilkins-freeman/short-story/the-revolt-of-mother 

This week we have started to look at examples of previous coursework and you've made a start on your own essays. Your first draft must be completed by Tuesday 18th October.
