Test feedback; Paragraph unity
10 novembro 2026, 13:00 • Irene Bulla
Today I handed back the tests, and we reviewed the most common mistakes and discussed how to address them. We then read and corrected the students’ collaborative stories (available in the Week 8 folder). Finally, we began working on paragraph unity by completing the first two pages of the “Writing unity” worksheet (available in the Week 9 folder).
Persuasion in practice. Collaborative storytelling

Today students created and performed dialogues in pairs using the persuasion techniques we had examined in relation to Lady Macbeth (worksheet available in the Week 8 folder). They then worked together to write some seriously wacky stories, which I will upload to Google Drive over the weekend!

Persuasion in Macbeth: Lady Macbeth's strategies
3 novembro 2026, 13:00 • Irene Bulla
Today we read an excerpt from Act I, scene 7 of Shakespeare’s Macbeth (the “Extract” worksheet, available in the Week 8 folder) and watched the corresponding scene from the Royal Shakespeare Company’s 1976 production. We then examined the techniques Lady Macbeth uses to persuade Macbeth and practiced applying them ourselves by completing tasks 1, 2, and 4 in the “Lady Macbeth and how to get what you want” worksheet.
