Applying concepts of Denotation and Connotation to the Matrix Twins Video
I recently watched the Matrix again, and wondered to which extent the video of the Albino twins reflected the tension (and nature) of how connotation/denotation act in the world outside books, and how interpretation affects reality. If the denotation/connotation,...
Teaching a teenager how to read – thoughts from an English teacher
Increasingly I am drawn to analyse data, largely because it makes my teaching more interesting to me. Summative Data on English ability, though, should be considered nonsense. Teaching a child cannot be reduced to a grade, especially if that grade is only summative...
A short essay on evaluation
This evening I decide to write an essay for my students in Year 9. It is an essay for any student or thinker of any age, but it continues a conversation started in class. Touching upon dreams, perception and the nature of "evalution" (our key term to prove progress),...

Generic Questions about Analytical Paragraphs – Year 8
Why are statements so short? Why are explain sentences longer than statements? How should I use connectives? Do you have to use a statement and explain in every single paragraph? How often should I use a pattern of sentences? How many writing techniques should I put...
An example essay task (with quotations) for Of Mice and Men – Section 3
Following a discussion in the NATE conference, it was discussed that one way to teach OMAM was to read section 1, and then section 6. This then allows the intelligent reader to foreshadow the events leading up section 6. While it somewhat debunks the entertainment of...
