Last Minute Revision for IOCs
Dear all,
Please, please spend this weekend re-familiarising yourselves with all the poems and Othello. Plan! As we did in class- practise preparing a poem or extract for commentary. Give yourselves 20 minutes- try it in pairs.
Points to remember:
Address both guiding questions
Othello extracts will NOT be longer than 50 lines- so you need a massive focus on techniques and language.
Have a thesis, not a rambling intro.
You will have to speak for 12 minutes
Bring in pen, pencil and higlighter.
Questions we ask are designed to help you- take your rime, think before you answer.
Structure your commentary carefully- why are you talking about, say, Iago's duplicitous characterisation first.
Use formal, literary language and terms.
Look back on your notes- remember some of our notes on the poems eg the intertextuality/ biographical details of Owen.
There will be no nasty surprises in the IOC- the poems and questions I have prepared are ones we have discussed, studied and written about in class. Those of you who engage in the lesson will be well prepared!
08.00-08.20: Prep 1 Ho Young
08.20-08.45: Assess 1 / Prep 2 (08.25-08.45) Ho Young/ Bao Anh
08.45-09.10: Assess 2 / Prep 3 (08.50-09.10) Bao Anh/ Tu Bao
09.10-09.35: Assess 3 / Prep 4 (09.15-09.35) Tu Bao/ Bernard
09.35-10.00: Assess 4 / Prep 5 (10.05-10.25) Bernard/ Kirsty
10.00-10.25: Break
10.25-10.50: Assess 5 / Prep 6 (10.25-10.50) Kirsty/ Ezra
10.50-11.15: Assess 6 Ezra
Whe you're not in the study room in the 1st floor preparing or doing your IOC, you should be in the library preparing- it has been booked for you guys alone. Once you have done your IOC, you go to lessons as normal.
All that remains for me to say s GOOD LUCK! I hope you all perform as I know you can.
If you have any questions over the weekend, please email me on davidpollicutt@bisvietnam.com
I think there will be some very relieved and happy students on Tuesday!
