Ladies and Clarence,
I thought I should post our first blog to get the ball rolling and explain what I would like us to all get out of it.
This is intended to be an organic resource that we continually build as a class, serving as a basis for revision, research, wider reading etc. However, I will not be able to manage it alone. Each lesson I will ask a member of the class to be our note-maker (this will rotate). Throughout the lesson they will need to minute and jot down everything we discuss/explore/learn like a Cambridge finalist on speed. They will then post a summary of our key learning points on to the blog for the other members of the class to read. This will be a thorough and comprehensive review of the lesson that will enable your classmates to keep up to date, even if they weren't there. In addition to this, you will also need to post another link that has something to do with the content of the lesson to widen our perspective on the subject. For example, for 'In Our Time', we might refer to cubism in the lesson and in your lesson review you could add a link to a cubist painting you like! Or it could be a little more academic - perhaps a review/link/extract from another closely related piece of literature.
Hope this makes sense!
Mr Douglas
