Context | English Conceptual Learning Context What it is Context refers to factors acting upon composers and responders that impinge on meaning. Context and text are in a symbiotic relationship in the production of meaning. However, even when all of these factors are taken into consideration, complete understanding of the effect of context on a text is impossible as we cannot tell where context ends and text begins. Why it is important By considering the effects of context (their own, that of the composer and other contexts of response) on making meaning students recognise that there can be no single reading of a text,all meaning is contingent upon a range of factors not simply in the text but also outside it, the text/context relationship, andvalues and attitudes may change over time and cultures. These understandings open students to a range of readings and can make them receptive to different ways of thinking by making clear that not all ways of thinking are like their own.

Articles 1 There are lots of rules about the use of articles. Here we’ll concentrate on 3 golden rules. Most mistakes with articles are made through breaking one of these rules. 1. When we say what people’s jobs are, we use a/an She’s an architect. 2. Remember that we use the indefinite article - a/an - when we talk about something that is not definite. I saw a good film yesterday. … and we use the definite article - the – when we talk about something more certain. I’m going to take the dog for a walk. 3. Birds eat worms. BUT We went to the zoo and saw the kangaroos. There are many other rules about articles but remembering these 3 golden rules will reduce the number of mistakes you make.
THE GOTHIC : Materials for Study The Gothic: Materials for Study A hypertext anthology for ENEC 981: The Novel of Sensibility Written and Compiled by: Christine Ruotolo, Ami Berger, Liz DeGaynor, Zach Munzenrider, and Amanda French Contents Introduction Individual and Social Psychologies of the GothicThe Female GothicThe Gothic and the SupernaturalGothic Drama Annotated Bibliography Literature | 21L.000J Writing About Literature, Fall 2010 | Assignments A Free Course on Dante's Divine Comedy from Yale University Over the years, we've featured the many drawings that have adorned the pages of Dante's Divine Comedy, from medieval times to modern. Illustrations by Botticelli, Gustave Doré, William Blake and Mœbius, they've all gotten their due. Less has been said here, however, about the actual text itself. Perhaps the most important work in Italian literature, Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) wrote the Divine Comedy (consisting of Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso) between the years 1308 and 1320. The course is an introduction to Dante and his cultural milieu through a critical reading of the Divine Comedy and selected minor works (Vita nuova, Convivio, De vulgari eloquentia, Epistle to Cangrande). You can watch the 24 lectures from the course above, or find them on YouTube and iTunes in video and audio formats. Primary texts used in this course include: Dante.

How to write an excellent text response — Literacy Ideas 1. Getting Started: The Prewriting Stage As with much of the formal school experience, students can greatly benefit from undertaking a methodical approach in their work. The following process outlines step-by-step how students can best approach writing their text responses in the beginning. The keyword in the phrase writing a text response is not writing but response. Read for Understanding: Students should read the text they are responding to initially for a basic comprehension of what the text is about. Students may instinctively know what they like to read, but what is often not instinctive is the expressing of why they like to read it. As humans we are hardwired to understand the world around us in terms of the stories we tell ourselves and others. Be sure too to offer your students opportunities to practice writing their own metaphors, similes, alliterative sentences etc. Read Directions Carefully: Have students pinpoint exactly what the question is asking them. The Process: 2. 3.
