My articles on #Heaney here are focused on the #deathofanaturalist anthology. Use them to spark discussion? https://t.co/tYn76l4Sl7

Mixing #brucespringsteen and ⁦@OCR_English⁩ was fun, but there is a serious discussion here. Or, as serious as I ever am! https://t.co/3XZ5xjtIE8

@PlymColEnglish Freudian!

[edexcel igcse anthology thoughts @EdexcelT]

Also nice work on the torch AIC substitution in Remember to emphasize ‘only’ in L7... get those comments on form and structure into your writing.

[edexcel igcse anthology thoughts @EdexcelT]

@PlymColEnglish Only just seen the predictive text.... trochaic substitution

[edexcel igcse anthology thoughts @EdexcelT]

Good work with y11 today on S116 and Remember- form: both are sonnets but subtly different- Volta between octave and sestet in #R allows for change of perspective- coming before final couplet in Shad seems to emphasize his fixed POV regarding love

@shivchow I don’t think so. There is much alliteration and assonance throughout. I suppose those d sounds could add an authority to the couplet, but I really am not sure there’s any more.

stanza 1 is straightforward language - establishes the conditional list: if you can.... if you can....if you can... the colon ending to the stanza indicates that more is to come -more that will shed light on what has been said thus far.

My blog: I blog because I am a teacher. https://t.co/5xvrmdgsnP via @mrpeel as I hit 1000,000 views, I feel a bit self indulgent. To all wondering about blogs: do it: it costs nothing to share.

@MandyFrancis13 I begin to address the 4 acts of this poem in the longer article on my blog, linked in another post. You are right to point out the need for the ‘why’ of course. I use the 280 characters to suggest ideas for further discussion

Duffy ends each stanza of #warphotographer with a rhyming couplet: the same technique used by Shakespeare to indicate the end of a scene in a play. #form

#outout is the focus of the #Skype session with Ankara tomorrow... early start for breakfast club

[edexcel igcse anthology thoughts @EdexcelT]

Can we link the 'twisted sinews of the heart' to the Belle Dame's wholly unromantic approach to love?

[edexcel igcse anthology thoughts @EdexcelT]

Experience as the opposite of Innocence - gained knowledge and understanding of the world around and the loss of a superficially 'pure' outlook on the world...

[edexcel igcse anthology thoughts @EdexcelT]

Right: next question to plan... explore the treatment of 'experience' in Tyger and La Belle Dame'
Answers in series of tweets please...

[edexcel igcse anthology thoughts @EdexcelT]

@shivchow Agreed. 2.30 would be a poor choice as companion for this task... it’s really a childhood focus...
