Afternoon!
This lesson is about pulling ideas together about the presentation of death by Larkin and Shakespeare, with focus on the poem 'Ambulances' and Hamlet's soliloquy in Act 3 Scene 1.
Task 1: List all the ideas about death presented by each writer. Where are the writers the same and where are they different?
Find at least one example that supports each idea and attitude you have.
What linguistic points could you make about each example?
Task 2: Read this example paragraph taken from a piece of coursework on the subject of death. Download and annotate it. Highlight where there is a comparative point made (AO3); where there is analysis and evaluation of language to link to meaning (AO3); where there is contextual reference (AO3); and where there is terminology (AO1). What frameworks are discussed (AO1)?
Task 3: Construct a detailed paragraph on 'Ambulances' and Hamlet's soliloquy in Act 3 Scene 1.
Task 4: Analyse it as you did for task 2.
EXTENSION TASK: Read 'Nothing to be Said' by Larkin. What do you think it is about? How does it link to death? How does the poem fit in with what you know about Larkin's treatment of death. Find one point to make about grammar, discourse, lexis and semantics and phonology.
