Summary for Lesson 1
In our first lesson of the course today we looked at the writing and style of William Shakespeare, thinking about the kind of stories he told and the themes, characters and motifs he was interested in. As a class we discussed the genre of tragedy, analysing how Shakespeare used this in the play Hamlet and extrapolating this out to the students’ own work. They used the themes and ideas Shakespeare used beautifully, especially in creating their own Shakespearean villains driven by the desire for revenge, chaos and motiveless malignancy. Everyone worked wonderfully today, I really enjoyed hearing all their debates, discussions and ideas and was super impressed at their ability to identify and creatively interpret the themes and motifs of Shakespeare’s work. Keep up the amazing work everyone and I’ll see you next week 🙂

Matthew’s Speech: Never Trust parents. They don’t tell you things they don’t. They ignore you when you ask a question. SO NEVER TRUST A PARENT. If they have a argument you shouldn’t join they may hit you. A person may leave because they won’t love you. Never trust a PARENT.

Dear Beth,
“To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover’d country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.–Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember’d!”Shakespeare enjoyed putting emphasis on death, light and opposites, especially in his gloomy speeches.📜✒🎭

Summary for Lesson 2
In today’s lesson we continued our work on Shakespeare, considering Shakespeare’s comedies and the language that he uses. We began with a fun exercise on transforming nursery rhymes into Shakespearian prose, unpicking how he uses language and then applying that to very simple songs and rhymes. We then considered what makes a Shakespearean comedy a comedy, thinking about the tropes he was famous for using such as mistaken identity, gender swaps and miscommunications, using A Midsummer’s Night Dream as a template to help the class contextualise their understanding. The students then wrote their very own Shakespeare inspired comedic plots, thinking about the dramatic question their plot must answer and the inciting incident their plot should wrap around. The students worked beautifully today and all of their work was full of lively, funny, Shakespearean influences. Amazing job everyone, I love how energised and engaged you all are- well done and I’ll see you next week 🙂

Sorry I am late for the Homework I was quite busy.
There once was a boy named Fred his dad was a king soon his dad was dead then Fred’s mom married his dad’s brother and they were happy together. Fred knew that Dad’s brother just wanted Royalty so soon he asked his friends to make a play. He told them that they should make a play about his Dad’s brother wanting for royalty. Fred watched his uncle look nervous. His Uncle looked nervous so Fred suddenly said “You just wanted Royalty! You probably killed my dad!”. The Uncle ran away but his friends set a trap and he fell. Fred’s mom wanted to behead him so they beheaded them. Then the mom drank some water but there was poison in it because Fred also acted it to. Fred’s Mom died and Fred became the new king.

Summary for Lesson 3
In today’s lesson we started our work on the writing of Charles Dickens, thinking about what makes a book Dickensian and the various stylistic elements the class could harness to decorate their own writing. The class began by thinking about the history and context behind Dickens, looking at the themes and issues he was interested in and why. We then worked closely with two passages from Dickens, one from A Christmas Carol, one from Hard Times, discussing and debating his style, language and use of metaphor and the effect this had. The class shared some wonderful, powerful and well-informed ideas on Dickens’ social conscious and writing style, thinking about the verbose nature of his work and his background influences. Everyone worked beautifully today and I really look forward to hearing their Dickens inspired writing next week. Amazing work! 🙂

Summary for Lesson 4
In today’s class we completed our work on Charles Dickens, using all that we have learnt about him so far to inspire some modern Dickensian tales. We began with re-capping the Dickensian elements of The Black Veil, thinking about how he presents a mix of ghost story and morality tale, before moving on to clarifying a few more important elements of his writing and ideas. We then thought about the lessons from Dickens that we can learn today, thinking of some modern parallels such as the rise in poverty due to Covid-19 or child labour in India. The class then used these modern parallels to come up with some fantastic Dickens-inspired characters and to help them think about the classic, floral Dickensian style that focuses on the use of description, metaphor and complex vocab. Everyone worked gorgeously today, the class were super engaged and enthusiastic throughout. I was very impressed by their modern Dickens stories so far and really look forward to seeing how they develop in the homework. Amazing work everyone- see you next week 🙂

Summary for Lesson 5
In today’s lesson we began our study of Virginia Woolf, our third author of the course. We thought about Woolf’s life and how it can be seen as important in her writing, thinking about her reflection on the internal lives of women like her. We discussed the technique of ‘stream of consciousness’ writing which Woolf helped to pioneer, and the students had a go at writing their own stream of consciousness narratives (which they did brilliantly!). We then considered Woolf’s feminism, looking at a quotation of hers regarding female authors and learning a little more about the position of women at the time. Excellent work today class, you all came up with some gorgeous contributions today. Keep it up and I’ll see you next week 🙂

Gorgeous Kate- I absolutely love that final simile, the word comfortless is a really brilliant choice to paint the image you have painted here; a really unusual and evocative image. Fantastic use of character study, beautiful use of the word miserly and you have absolutely lacerated this character in one short sentence- brilliant work !

Summary for Lesson 6
In today’s lesson we finished our work on Virginia Woolf, beginning our class by thinking about her essay The Death of The Moth and what it can tell us about how Woolf saw the world around her. We spoke about the genre of personal essays and what they communicate, and the students unpicked the symbolism Woolf uses beautifully. We then thought about her feminist work, looking at A Room of One’s Own, and the class came up with their own metaphors to represent injustice in the modern world. Finally, we looked at some of Woolf’s personal tips for writing concerning character focus, the mundanity of life and the beauty of language. Really strong work from everyone today- it was a lesson full of lots of challenging techniques and language and the class embraced it excellently. Their written work was also outstanding- amazing job everyone, keep it up and I look forward to our next class together 🙂

Dear Beth,
One can state that today’s lesson was a sparkling antiquity, embellished with the jewels of enourmous enjoyment.s🖋😉
One can only show how one came to hold whatever opin-
ion one does hold. One can only give one’s audience the chance
of drawing their own conclusions as they observe the limita-
tions, the prejudices, the idiosyncrasies of the speakerVersion in Virginia Woolf Style:
There is no life in the minds of scrupulous beings who live for the sake of it. Rather, such insignificant beings should and are part of life and the world, yet be treated as specks of dust.

The death of a caterpillar to a butterfly (Inspired by Woolf’s The death of a moth.)
Once the caterpillar hatches out of it’s egg you see it will eat leaves. Once this caterpillar eats more and more leaves it turns fat but once it’s done. It will make a white cocoon for it to rest in. It will rest there for five to twenty-one days. Soon it will hatch out of its cocoon it will become a beautiful butterfly. It drinks nectar as in other liquids. Then the butterfly dies soon.
I can’t think of anything else so I made it short.

Summary for Lesson 7
In today’s class we started work on our final author: Agatha Christie. We began by discussing the genre of detective novels, thinking about Christie’s contribution to the craft, other famous authors in the genre, and what should be expected from a detective story. We moved on to thinking about her writing style and process, watching a video in which her relatives demonstrated her writing process and how she began her stories. We then thought about how she used the world around her to inspire her, eavesdropping on conversations and using the characters in her life to inspire those in her stories, and the class came up with their own examples of settings for a detective novel. Finally, we spoke a little about her life and what we can learn from the experiences she had. Everyone worked beautifully today- great work class, it was a joy to teach you all today! See you next week 🙂

Summary for Lesson 8
In today’s class we completed our work on Agatha Christie, drawing on her ideas about what was crucial to create a good detective story to plot and map out our own. We started with a discussion on the role of a detective, identifying famous examples and working out what they offer to the reader. The class then came up with some fantastic fictional detectives of their own- thinking carefully about their reliability. We then moved on to thinking about the plot of a detective novel, mapping out different elements that help to keep the reader in suspense and surprise. Finally, the class drew on elements such as how to create backstories that conceal and reveal a character’s motivations and how to use ‘what if’ questions to come up with fascinating ideas for a story. Great work today everyone- I loved your detective characters that you invented and thought your writing was superb. Can’t wait to read all the stories you come up with- well done 🙂

Homework:
There once was a boy named Ted. He always dreamed to be a detective but he never did become a detective. One day in the newspapers, there was a picture of a missing cat. Ted took this opportunity to become a detective and become famous! So he did. He went to the address that was given on the newspaper. When he got there, a man was at the door looking for the cat so Ted asked him “Hello. I come to find your missing cat.”. The man replied “Finally, a person that can help! Thank you! Please can you find my missing cat. If you do then the last time I saw her was in the park.”. Ted offered to help and went searching in the park. Since he got a poster from the man he started asking people. As time went on, no one saw the cat. Until a lucky search he found the right person. A woman saw the cat and she saw the cat at the fountain (that wasn’t in the park since fountains do appear quite often in a park). Ted went there as he did he saw a note. The note read: If you are trying to find the missing cat, follow the motes and it will lead you right there. Well this wasn’t a lucky day thought Ted but he couldn’t see any notes so he flipped the note and it was a clue it said: You should see a person sitting on a bench but come to a door that doesn’t have a light. At first Ted thought it was confusing but he suddenly realised that one of his neighbour doesn’t have a light so he went there because his neighbour never got light so he would always sit on the bench. Ted ringed the bell and his neighbour come by and gave him a note and ted didn’t even ask for it. This not said that if he went to a sunny day then he would find another note. This was somewhere to be found in the Farmer’s place. It was always sunny there. Ted started to get tired of finding these but he went on. At the Farmer’s place he saw the farmer he decided to ask if he saw a note. The man said he has under a hay so Ted went to look for it. The problem is there was loads and loads of hay. Luckily, after a few tries Ted finally found it. It said this was the last note come to house 1171. Ted started running and he finally got there. He knocked on the door and a person came and he said “Look at you. you finally found the missing cat. Here you go.”. The man gave Ted the cat and and Ted said Thank you and he returned to the cat’s owner. Since he returned it he got a big surprise. He was a news reporter so he put this all on the news telling that this boy has found the cat. The end!

Summary for Lesson 9
In today’s class we revised our famous authors course in order to consolidate the students’ learning and prepare us for the mini mock next week. We began by thinking about plot twists, before moving on to some work on how the students have been inspired by their favourite authors’ writing styles. The class then completed a brainstorming exercise on the four authors from our course, revising the elements that make up each author’s distinctive style. Finally, we looked at some articles on each author and the class planned a story based on the writing of the author they felt least comfortable with. Excellent work today everyone- every single person contributed brilliantly to the discussion in class and I was thrilled to see how much they remembered and could utilise from all eight of our lessons so far. Really impressive work everyone- well done and good luck revising for next week!

Once there was two twins named Ocean and Maya. One was brave while the other was shy. They had a neighbour named Fred. He always helped them because the twins didn’t have parents. Though they been murdered, the twins doesn’t know how they got killed or who killed them. Maya always thought that she and her sister would find out who did it so they did but not as soon as they talk to Fred about it (also they live in Fred’s house just because they can’t live on their own). Maya came up to Fred and said “Fred. We are going to find out who’s the murderer of our parents! Would you like to come?”, Fred started to sweat but then responded “Girls, it’s to dangerous.”. Then Ocean replied “Please?”. Fred sighed and didn’t come with them but he agreed to let them find out who it is. Fred suddenly called someone and the twins both were in their room discussing who could it be like real detectives. The twins heard Fred talking to someone so they went downstairs and eavesdrop.
“They’re catching up on us.” said Fred
“Well, what do we do?” replied ?
“I don’t know give them clues?” responded Fred
“Good idea but wouldn’t it lead to us?” asked ?
“No. It would only be to dangerous for them to know that the real murderer is the murderer.” replied Fred
“Alright if you say so.” said ?.
Ocean and Maya thought about it and they knew what they were talking about. Though this was dangerous they wanted to keep going and discuss more. Soon they found their first clue. It was where their parents were killed. 584 Kindey Street. So they asked everyone their and got their second clue.
“Everyone said that they looked like a guard so why not check a museum?” said Ocean.
“Then let’s go!” replied Maya.
Off they went and then they asked every guard and got their third clue. It was a picture of a house. It was Fred’s house.
“What?” questioned Ocean.
“It’s our house! Fred’s house. Do you think maybe..?” said Maya
“Maybe…” replied Ocean.
So then they go back to Fred’s house and saw something horrible. Fred was burning a dead body!
“FRED?” shouted Maya
“Not what you think!” stuttered Fred
“That’s a lighter it is what we think.” mumbled Ocean
“Fine. Then I’ll have to kill you to.” laughed Fred.
He came up to them and tried killing them but someone came just in time. It was the police the police arrested Fred and the twins were quite relieved about it and sat down. This was now on the news and the twins were saved and now the lived a happy life with new and kind parents. The End.

One day I went to the park, I saw a white mouse it’s fur is as white as the snow ,it’s eyes were as red as blood diamonds . Every day I come to this park ,I always became very happy when I saw this white princess . One day in the park ,the white princess is eating a bread on the ground. No one dares to eat her food. While she was eating a car drove by ,the other mouses ran away ,but the white princess didn’t have enough time to react so the car ran past her small tail! The princess yelped in pain ,she immediately pulled her tail back and stared at it ,it was bleeding! I tried to help but she ran away. After this incident I haven’t seen her for about ten weeks . I thought she might die but she came back. I saw her bathing in a waterfall. I’m happy to see her again it made me feel a lot better ,but then I saw that her tail was gone!When she finally found a piece of cake she ran to it but the other mouses took it away immediately. The white princess was not the princess anymore. She kept eating until she became very fat ,the whit mouse lost her beauty. One day, a cat leaped on the mouses the other ran away except the white mouse who was caught and was never seen again. Siyang’s work -

The Roles of The Mystery
Jake and Kate woke up due to a speaker. Jake was super confused and so was Kate. “Hello there! Welcome to murder mystery. This is the time where you need to guess who the murderer is! Now I will tell you the roles but first! You guys need to get some roles so there will now be some papers on the floor please only take one and look at the word. Do not show ANYONE else,” explained ?.
When they all picked up the papers the person kept on speaking. “Now since you got your roles let me tell you what they can do. The murderer has to try and kill everyone until there is two people left standing you and someone else. The Detective and also the sheriff has to try and figure out who the murderer is and shoot them. The Innocents do nothing but they have to survive. The Hypnotist has to hypnotist people to do something. It’s quite a boring job. Anyways the Lie Detector can put anyone on it and it will make the people tell the truth. And that’s all please. All I ask is STAY ALIVE! Goodbye!” explained ?.
All the people looked around and it stayed quiet for a moment. Moments later, the light turned off. It was time for the murderer to kill but everyone just panicked. Then Jake heard a scream. It didn’t sound like Kate so he was glad it wasn’t her to die. Then the lights flickered back on. The people all went to see what happened to who. Everyone kept panicking except Jake somehow. Jake searched for clues but nothing was been found. This was definitely a murder mystery. Now Jake suddenly knew what he had to do. “Everyone come to the living room right now! We are going to have a meeting!” shouted Jake. Everyone gather around the table and all of them were confused a little. “So we need to know all your name or else we won’t know who’s who.” said Jake.
“My name is Mary” said Mary.
“Who cared what my name is but fine. It’s Casey.” said Casey.
“Y’all have bad names. The name’s Catey and me and Casey are sisters.” exclaimed Catey.
“Shush Catey. We all have good names. Anyways my name is Nancy.” said Nancy.
“Well my name us Kate. Me and Jake are twins.” said Kate.
“I’m Jane.” said Jane
“Well since we don’t know the first person. Let’s just call him Buck.” suggested Jake
“Alright anyways. Why do we need this meeting?” asked Catey. “Don’t you have better things to do?”
“First off. I need this meeting because we need it. And yes I do have better things to do but also a no because this is fun.” answered Jake. “Oh meeting is over now!”
Then the lights flickered again. This time someone got killed silently but no one knows who it is. Jake on the other hand has been smart and set off a trap and they heard Kate say ‘OW’. Then the light flickered back on.
“Kate! Was it you?” yelled Jane.
”What? No! I didn’t know that trap or something was there! I must of stepped on it when I was trying to go to the bathroom but who died?” asked Kate.
They all went to find Casey but no one found her.
“She died.” said Jake.
“How do you know?” questioned Catey.
“Blood stains and it’s fresh blood. Buck died and his blood dried out so Casey died.” answered Jake.
They just all stared at Jake. Minutes later, nothing happened to much. Just talking and other stuff. Jane died next and then Catey. Then Nancy did the unthinkable.
“You guys don’t even do anything! Let me use my power.” said Nancy.
Nancy used her hypnotist power on Mary. She made her try and kill someone but she didn’t so Mary wasn’t the murderer. Nancy stopped.
“If it’s not you then who is it?!” shouted Nancy.
