A2 LITERATURE - the fascination with the Pardoner's sexuality
Some good extension work: click here to read Monica McAlpine's famous essay on 'The Pardoner's homosexuality and how it matters'. Do you agree with her?
IB ENGLISH - extension work
As we move into the depths of Measure for Measure, why not listen to a radio programme which discusses whether Shakespeare is still relevant today - click here to access it. This would be a great way to broaden your understanding of the universal themes contained within Shakespeare's plays...
A2 COMMS - EXCELLENT EXTENSION OPPORTUNITIES...
As we come to the end of Post Colonialism for a while, it's worth developing your understanding of some of the issues we have covered further by listening to the following programmes:
Cultural imperialism
What is Englishness?
Multiculturalism
Each programme is between 30 mins - 45 mins long & you need an internet connection to listen as they can't be downloaded (unless you have iTunes, in which case you can download them for free).
I'd say this is essential listening for all of you - please click on them above & give them a go!

A2 LITERATURE - Work in place of Tues 14th November
I am really sorry that I am missing you again.
In place of the lesson, I'd like you to listen to a radio programme which discusses different ideas relating to 'hell' from the past to the present. The programme lasts 45 minutes & you will need an internet connection to listen to it as it can't be downloaded. Listen to the programme by clicking here.
And please make sure you have read the opening Chorus & the first scene of Dr Faustus for Thursday's lesson (set last week).
If you would like to do some extra, then there is also a programme on Marlowe's life you might want to listen to - click here to find out more about the mysterious Mr Marlowe.
