Today we started off watching a short video called "Playing for Change". Then I handed out some poetry terms lists and the red books. People were also asked to get someone to give them some feedback on their reports that they wrote on "Porphyria's lover" . We discussed connotation and denotation and I said that you must consider both your purpose and your audience when you are writing something. Now, normally, you would probably be writing your police reports in an unbiased way but I would like you to be as biased as possible. Check the words you have used and use the thesaurus and see if you can make if very clear which outcome you favour for the murderer in the poem. We will be having a quiz on the terms on Thursday so please finish those via the redbook pages on my website or any decent online glossary. Have your reports done for tomorrow.
Here's the video
