I think it’s time for another Streetcar thread, don’t you? This time, we’ll be thinking about what characters are wearing (or not wearing) in the play, focusing in particular on a single moment in Scene 3 👗👘👠 🧵
Right, shall we talk a little more about Streetcar? This time, I want to think about religious language and imagery in the play, and the various Biblical figures that are evoked in the play 👼👹 🧵
Alright, thread number four on A Streetcar Named Desire, and we're going to stick with the topic of repetition. 🧵
Shall we talk about Streetcar a little bit more? This time, I want to think about the play as a game of poker ♠️♦️♣️♥️ In particular, I want to think about how the centrality of poker to the play adds an additional layer of meaning to both language and gesture. 🧵
Time for another Streetcar thread! This time, we're going to talk about the repetitiveness of the play, and why it matters. Why it matters. Why it matters. 🧵
Some helpful threads for our Year 10 pupils incoming… 🚋
Some helpful threads for our Year 10 pupils incoming… 🚋
Our production of ‘Dogg’s Hamlet, Cahoot’s Macbeth’ goes up this week! Pupils have come a long way since auditions at the start of the year, having had to learn a brand new language - the things we do for the craft…
And we’re back! Through passport control and baggage claim in record time, ready for a decent cup of tea and a kip. A fantastic trip with a cracking bunch of young people. Enjoy the rest of your half term 🇺🇸📚🌆😎🗽
A final subway downtown to take a cultural walking tour of Greenwich Village, America’s repository of avant-garde art, literature and social enlightenment, before our journey to JFK > AMS > MAN > HOME.
Another busy day Saturday! Mr H in his element talking about John Lennon at the Dakota, a wander around the Met, followed by some free time to check out Manhattan’s finest shops (#CrocAge) and finished off with a trip up to the Top of the Rock!
THEN a walk along The High Line, followed by our trip to Broadway to see Wicked 💚 One short day… that definitely was not short at all! (2/2)
An early morning walk along the Brooklyn Bridge to the Ground Zero memorial, then onto the ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island to learn more about immigration to the USA (1/2)
Happy Birthday to our Head Girl who turns 18 today! 🥳🗽
And a lovely afternoon at the Vanderbilt Mansion, believed to have inspired the setting for The Great Gatsby. It’s a bit too bright to make out any green light from across the water, though… Now onto Manhattan! 🌆
A fabulous autumnal morning in the “splendid, silent sun” visiting the Walt Whitman Birthplace, including an inspiring workshop for our budding poets ✍️📚🍂🌳😎
A very long day travelling but we have made it! 🇺🇸🗽Everyone happy after dinner at one of Long Island’s finest establishments - especially Mr Hanson…
Well done to our Year 11s who finished their English Literature course today with the Unseen paper - going out on a high!
Well done to our Year 11s who finished their English Literature course today with the Unseen paper - going out on a high!
A final revision breakfast with our amazing Y13 English Language pupils who have worked so hard and been such a pleasure to teach. Sending them away with a virtually-impossible-to-kill cactus for their uni bedrooms 🌵 Farewell and good luck!
Y11’s last lesson before Christmas - here are some of their character creations from texts they’ve studied. Lots of Julias from 1984 and soliders from Journey’s End (special mention to Amelie’s alcoholic Stanhope!) but Ria’s colourful interpretation of Mrs Tilscher takes the win!
Some great examples of semantic narrowing for our A Level pupils currently studying Language Change!
