A2 Literature

Many thanks to Omar... here is a LINK to a radio discussion about whether or not having black ancestry makes you 'black' or 'mixed race'. Perfect for the Obama and Diaz elements of coursework.

AS Literature

Watch THIS very insightful (and funny) show by Charlie Brooker, which sheds a 21st century light on conspicuous consumption (a key theme of The Great Gatsby)

IB English

THIS article on Edna O'Brien and her relationship with Dublin is reminiscent of that experienced by Joyce (indeed, 'A Portrait of the Artist...' is referenced here).

*ALL SUBJECTS*

It would be useful for all of my students to watch 'Faulks On Fiction', Saturdays at 9pm on BBC2. The first episode is available on iPlayer HERE

Set for series record, it looks set to be relevant to all English and Comms courses!
