Welcome to Atonement

What we'll try to do (the order might vary, at first based on the first part, then the whole novel):

1) Background search on different contexts (share sources and info):

* Ian McEwan as the author

* Britain in 1935

* the class system in Britain between World Wars

2) Finding non-literary texts that would allow us to revise different text types and enlighten us about something related to this novel at the same time (ongoing work)

3) Putting together a detailed timeline

4) Compiling character profiles

6) Describing how the Tallis household functions (social class and power issues)

+ Briony reads The Waves by Virginia Woolf --> read (fragments) here if interested (6 different viewpoints interspersed with detailed descriptions of the sea, which function as means of moving from one consciousness into another):

http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0201091h.html

After reading the whole novel:

Ongoing work on the timeline, character profiles (with quotes, and events that bring about changes in the characters), finding non-literary texts, and discussing important issues.

+ Discussion questions

(See this, too, for one opinion: https://jacquemoreau.wordpress.com/2013/11/27/the-tallis-household/)

+ Brian Finney essay: http://web.csulb.edu/~bhfinney/mcewan.html

+ Convince me to like or hate Briony

+ Object descriptions

+ Fiction and metafiction

+ Metonymy and class

+ Watching the film

+ Some creative writing (if you'd like to have some)

Some useful resources for the background search:

Some study materials: http://www.shmoop.com/dolls-house/

You will have a chance to conduct a seminar on A Doll's House so we could learn more about the play and its reception.
You'll do this in pairs. Lots will be drawn, and the pairs and the seminars they'll have to conduct are the following:
Topic 1: Anastasia & Timo
Topic 2: Pradnya & Neel
Topic 3: Enes & Fred
Topic 4: Sithil & Steven
Your seminar must be research-based, i.e. that you are not to give your opinion but are instead to research the play and find out what others have said about it. Give the class a summary of some of the popular academic theories about the play. Your opinion should be of marginal importance.
Use the following links to guide your research + any other that you find useful + the text of the play.
Details:
1: Context
Who was Henrik Ibsen? Where was the play written and under what circumstances? Are there any indications that we have about why Ibsen wrote the play and what he thought about it? Was the play well-received? Tell the class about the environment surrounding the writing and subsequent staging of the play. Do you think that Ibsen’s life had a part to play in his writing this piece? 
http://www.britannica.com/biography/Henrik-Ibsen
http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/anarchist_archives/goldman/aando/drama.html

2: Characters

Nora, it has been said, is perhaps the first feminist ever to be written. Give the class a discussion of the character Nora in the play and a little bit about the background in which she was written. The idea of marriage would also be a good topic to discuss as well as the relationship between men and women.

4: The play as a whole

As the play was written so long ago, there have since been reinterpretations of it. Use the links below as starting points on how the play has been changed and re-appropriated for modern-day audiences and provide textual evidence when appropriate. It will be your job to tie together the three other presentations and add to them what you will.

Beliefs and values: Gender, Femininity, Masculinity, Beauty

 To complement PhilpotNew Unit 2

Discuss it in detail, make sure you know all the vocabulary and key concepts.

Treat every text as a possibility to practice for Paper 1, i.e. detailed annotation and thinking of a possible guiding question to go with it (if the book has not suggested one). After annotating on your own, discuss with some classmates to pool your ideas. Balance-wise, pay a bit more attention to non-literary texts than literary ones. Save annotations in your portfolio.

Every time you go off the book to read / research something online (as directed by a task in the book, or me, or because of your own interests), share useful / interesting findings on the blog.

Set yourself homework at the end of each discussion lesson. If you have not done this, follow the teacher's guidelines (but for becoming a self-directed learner, setting your own is more useful).

A fun poem about the pronunciation of English (practice reading this!)

I take it you already know

Of tough and bough and cough and dough?

Others may stumble, but not you

On hiccough, thorough, slough, and through.

Well don't! And now you wish, perhaps,

To learn of less familiar traps.

Beware of heard, a dreadful word

That looks like beard but sounds like bird.

And dead: it's said like bed, not bead,

For goodness sake don't call it deed!

Watch out for meat and great and threat

(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt).

A moth is not a moth as in mother

Nor both as in bother, nor broth as in brother,

And here is not a match for there,

Nor dear and fear, for bear and pear.

And then there's dose and rose and lose--

Just look them up--and goose and choose

And cork and work and card and ward

And font and front and word and sword

And do and go, then thwart and cart,

Come, come! I've hardly made a start.

A dreadful Language? Why man alive!

I learned to talk it when I was five.

And yet to write it, the more I tried,

I hadn't learned it at fifty-five.

Task: Try your hand at writing some forms of poetry. Comment on other people's creations.

This is for inspiration: https://penandthepad.com/arrange-lines-poem-20713.html

Homework based on this:

Read a lot of poetry, e.g. at Poetry 180 (US Library of Congress poetry collection): http://www.loc.gov/poetry/180/p180-list.html

I want you to read as many poems from the site as possible, preferably aloud with a friend, choosing them because of their titles, or their subject matter, and then create blog posts with short reflection on each poem, Each person should reflect on at least 5 poems, including one general idea from the poem that you thought interesting, and one specific line (quotation) that you liked + a short explanation why you liked it.

This is a sample reflection by a Mr Kew, from whom I borrowed this task:

Poem 1 – “Introduction to Poetry” by Billy Collins

One idea that I really like in this poem is how the poet shows us how to enjoy poetry and experience it rather than focusing only on its “secrets.”

One line in this poem that I really like is “They begin beating it with a hose / to find out what it really means” because it is humorous, but also makes us think about the way that poetry analysis should not be like torture.

To accompany task 7.5

Chocolate Biscuits by TeachingHeads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAusakvsFLQ (13:57)

satire = the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

parody = an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect.

pastiche = an artistic work in a style that imitates that of another work, artist, or period.

spoof = a humorous imitation of something, typically a film or a particular genre of film, in which its characteristic features are exaggerated for comic effect.

(You can google for examples.)

PhilpotNew p 41 Task 7.6 changed (this helps you towards Paper 1, and possibly your IO)

1) You plan a speech (The task in the book says 5-8 min, but I guess ~5 min is plenty.)

2) A classmate criticises your plan: What's the occasion? Who's in the audience? Why this topic? What's your aim / the purpose of your speech?

3) You write the speech - after writing for 15-20 min, deliver that part to a classmate to find out how much text you need to create for speaking for a minute, for example. Peer criticism might be useful here, too.

4) You write it. You fine-tune it. You make it even better. You try it out on somebody, preferably somebody else, not the same person than before. Peer criticism and improving the speech follows.

5) You add annotations to the speech (what kind of rhetorical devices you have included, why, to what effect, etc.)

6) Besides having a copy of all stages of the work in your portfolio, you also hand it in, and are ready to present it to class, too.

There will be no official grading, but definitely some feedback.

What to analyse besides language while listening to a speech (not necessarily in this order):

1) voice: tone, loudness, irregularities

2) pauses

3) body language

4) interaction with and engaging the audience: eye contact, direct questions, reacting to what the audience does / says

5) relevance of the topic, argument, examples and jokes to the audience

Old Major's speech from Animal Farm by Orwell

The text of the speech:

https://www.marxists.org/subject/art/literature/children/texts/orwell/animal-farm/ch01.htm

(The speech is a bit longer than the extract I provided you with, so check the link here!)

Discussion:

How many of the rhetorical devices can you find? Annotate the speech for the following:

rhetorical questions,

literary allusions,

uniting the audience,

a main idea,

clear next steps offered to the listeners,

use of metaphor

repetition

How does Old Major use emotional appeal to persuade the animals to believe that man is their enemy? Consider the various rhetorical devices used (diction, imagery, syntax, figurative language, etc.) to make Old Major’s argument effective for his audience.

Substantiate observations with specific examples from the text. Remember the PEA rule!

Literary devices (including allusion): http://literary-devices.com/content/allusion

Borrowing from a source that has since vanished:

To effectively analyze an argument, you must learn to recognize the three classical strategies of argumentation:  logical appeal, emotional appeal, and ethical appeal.  The better arguments rely on a judicious use of all three appeals, and a persuasive writer knows when to use each in order to accomplish an intended purpose.

     In addition to the appeals, though, astute readers learn to analyze the style of an argument—the diction, imagery, syntactical patterns, figurative language, or any other devices of language that authors use to persuade their audience.  These language devices are often referred to as rhetorical devices.

     The word rhetoric, at its most basic level, simply means language that effectively accomplishes its purpose.  In persuasion, of course, that purpose is to convince the audience that the writer’s opinion or position is the correct one.

     An emotional appeal is an appeal to pathos, which in Greek loosely translates to “pain.”  Most people respond to emotion, but the writer must be careful to use this appeal wisely and fairly.  The writer’s aim should not be to manipulate the reader through emotions but to appeal to needs that all humans have in common:

physical needs (life and health)

psychological needs (a person’s need for love and respect)

social needs (the need for freedom, for respect, for acceptance)
