The Running Man

In pairs you will be given a chapter of the novel which you are to reread closely and make notes on the following question.

How are Tom Leyton, Joseph Davidson, The Running Man, and Mrs Mossop represented in your chapter.  Record examples (quotes) from the text that show how Michael Gerard Bauer has created the identity of these characters.

These notes will be shared with the rest of the class in a future lesson, so you need to ensure that you adequately record your information for the benefit of others.

• Poem, 'Circular Breathing' - initial reading in anticipation of review.  Group analysis of a stanza, shared with entire class.  Short answer questions and marking scheme revisited following our analysis.

The aim of this feedback and revision is for you to recognise where you did not achieve marks.  You need to reflect on whether this was an oversight, misunderstanding of the question, or insufficient knowledge.  When you can pinpoint where you lost marks, you can strategise on how to ensure you get them in the School Certificate exam in November.
