Not in college Monday 13 October

I'm sorry but I'm unable to be in college on Monday 13 October. Please continue with the work  set last week. 

Or if you are in my A2 Lang Lit class you could go to the library an browse a range of different newspapers. Don't read the news articles but rather read a few of the comments and analysis articles. You'll find these in the second half of the newspaper . If they still have the weekend papers  there will be plenty of articles to choose from. Consder audience, purposes and genre. Consider also register, layout, grammar, syntax and any rhetorical or literary devices being used. 

IB English students should read the synopsis and summaries for Act 1of Othello - in the book and the one on the blog. Read one or two of the key speeches from Act 1. Try and identify what the main purpose of the speech is and observe the different techniques used to communicate this purpose to his audiene and other characters. 

iGCSE students please continue with the work set in the previous post to you.
