We will spend a bit of this lesson exploring the rest of the interview scene. When we have completed this, you need to write a full commentary on the scene you were given, ensuring that your writing is organised and accurate.
Remember you are exploring:
- how the characters are presented - what are their ideas and attitudes to education, gender, sexuality, history, arts etc
- what their use of language suggests about them in general and in the extract e.g. the wider references, the imagery used, the type of lexis they use,
- how relationships are presented - who is in control, how questions are used
- what the spoken discourse suggest about the relationships
- how the scene is presented through stage directions
- how the scene echoes / foreshadows other parts of the play
Aim to take a systematic approach to the extract and be methodical.
Please post on your blog or padlet page and post on this padlet page here.
The headmaster: We haven't really discussed the headmaster much so now I would like you to consider how the headmaster is presented. Find some evidence to support your ideas. Post your ideas on your blog or padlet page.
Enjoy!
