@GCSE_Macbeth@SarahFPoetry It sounds like the writing of a very clever teenager. It’s got quite a few obvious contrivances that grate like creaky hinges, especially in the middle section: the blind man, the arrival of the foreigner who has to learn the language and the handy bag of books. Convenient!
@michael_merrick That spec actually launched over a decade ago! The critical anthology is only used for the coursework element (20%). We don’t even teach it as the students choose their own texts and focus for the NEA. Other than that, it’s totally newsworthy.
@holland_tom You get the same problems with literature. It makes up quotations and can’t get plot details right. When you correct it, it just says ‘good catch!’ and then makes something else up.
@adamboxer1 Might need one in a year or two on how to still teach properly while on a controlled assessment treadmill and having to evidence everything for Ofsted while keeping everyone engaged and focusing on 21st century skillz. 😒
@deepblue3378 1. In Rainbows
2. A Moon Shaped Pool
3. Ok Computer
4. Kid A
5. Hail to the Thief
6. The Bends
7. Amnesiac
8. The King Of Limbs
9. Pablo Honey
This feels very harsh on Amnesiac and TKOL… and Kid A…
@GCSE_Macbeth@Xris32 Yeah, that’s another. I guess they had a kind of supernatural one (which became known as the Banquo question 😂) but the Utterson omission is baffling. He’s got a great little character arc! Utterson and curiosity? Much easier to structure than anything about Jekyll!
@MrTeece_ They’re literally reporting the facts as they stand. He will be convicted of murder in due course. What you want is instant justice and for the media to reflect your emotional response to the story. Understandable. But that really would be wrong and concerning…
