I am looking forward to a fabulous year with you all. We are starting the year looking at satire. As we explore the first few texts, I will be learning more about what you are all interested in, and I will shape the programme according to your interests, strengths and goals.
Here is a draft programme:
Term One: connections (4 credits - internal)
Term Two: writing portfolio (6 credits - internal)
Term Three: novel study (4 credits - external) & speech (3 credits - internal)
Term Four: unfamiliar texts (4 credits - external)
Today we go back to 1729, to a man called Jonathan Swift who wrote A Modest Proposal. Then we will explore modern examples of satire from The Onion and The Civilian.
