  1. EXTRA LESSON 2:VOICE It’s a letter! ‘Yours Faithfully’ or ‘Yours Sincerely’ though?

  2. Initial Introduction: WOW Vocab Does listing always give the effect that you want? The land is important, useful and full of opportunity. Concise Vocabulary helps avoid listing where unnecessary!

  3. Vocab for Tone: metaphor A torrent of… The key to… A windfall effect… An illusion of… The spell… The inclement mood… The tightrope in which we walk…

  4. Initial Introduction: Vocab for tone Always match tone to audience and purpose! Let’s craft the tone in this: • The land is important to our community. • The land is of tantamount importance to our community. • This unused, wasted land is of tantamount importance to our community. • Unused and barren, this could be of tantamount importance to our community. • A potential windfall of opportunities could be achieved should the land be developed. Do all of these have a place?

  5. Initial Introduction: Vocab for tone Let’s craft the tone in this: The public response to eco-friendly development has grown more positive in recent times.

  6. Revision is best described by which image? Motifs

  7. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khrx-zrG460 What is a motif? Read the lyrics to the Sheryl Crow song – identify the metaphorical references she uses to explain life. THERE ARE 4! Write down your favourite metaphor for life in the song Visualise. Mind-map some other ideas that expand upon the metaphor, e.g. mountain, summit, first steps, a distant goal, planting a flag. In narrative, a motif is any recurring element that has symbolic significance in a story. Through its repetition, a motif can help produce other narrative (or literary) aspects such as theme or mood. A narrative motif can be created through the use of imagery, structural components, language, and other narrative elements. The flute in Arthur Miller's play Death of a Salesman is a recurrent sound motif that conveys rural and idyllic notions.

  8. Why a motif?

  9. Ideas I hitched a ride with a vending machine repair manHe says he's been down this road more than twiceHe was high on intellectualismI've never been there but the brochure looks niceJump in, let's goLay back, enjoy the showEverybody gets high, everybody gets low,These are the days when anything goes[Chorus]Everyday is a winding roadI get a little bit closerEveryday is a faded signI get a little bit closer to feeling fine...I've been swimming in a sea of anarchyI've been living on coffee and nicotineI've been wondering if all the things I've seenWere ever real, were ever really happening[Chorus]

  10. How Will You Revise Motifs Why Will You Revise Motifs

  11. Introductions and Conclusions • Introduction must introduce motif • Famous/Made-up quote to inspire the writing OR detailed imagery • The motif must be referred to in different ways 3/4 times through the text • The conclusion must relate back SEMANTICALLY to the introduction

  12. Let’s craft an example together… ‘Examinations, sir, are pure humbug from beginning to end. If a man is a gentleman, he knows quite enough’ suggested the great Oscar Wilde. And indeed – as Wilde always is - he is right. While education is supposed to promise us all the worldly delights of the sweetshop in terms of prospects, finance and lifestyle, I feel that maybe this sugary coating is simply too sweet…or simply just saccharine! So, now as this exam dissolves away, I am reminded of Wilde’s words. Like the ‘humbug,’ I’ve now reached my end: let’s hope for a new beginning in our attitude to what school can provide.

  13. Your Goal • Choose a quote to or opt for detailed imagery in your opening paragraph • Formulate your introduction and add it on. • Identify the idea in the quote to create your motif. Think of the different references you could make that will take your reader through your ideas. Move from conflict to resolution. • Make three/four VARIED references to the motif across the whole writing including once in the semantically linked conclusion you will add on too.

  14. Stuck Wall Three Before Me • Use your support pack: • It’s full of: • Images • Famous quotes • Song lyrics • Example articles and essays showing how to use motifs and create fab intros and concs • Re-engage brain • Look it up • Ask a friend Our Goal Choose a quote to parody or opt for detailed imagery in your opening paragraph Formulate your introduction and add it on. Identify the idea in the quote to create your motif. Think of the different references you could make that will take your reader through your ideas. Move from conflict to resolution. Make three/four references to the motif across the whole writing including once in the semantically linked conclusion you will add on too.

  15. Peer Marking • Swap work/send an envoy • Highlight semantic links between the intro and conclusion. • How does the motif take you from conflict to resolution? Any advice?

  16. Final Checking • Highlight any words you think may be incorrectly spelled. Check in a dictionary. • Highlight any words you think could make more of an impact or could be tripled perhaps. • Do a punctuation check: -- - : ; ( ) ? !

  17. FINAL HOMEWORK • Produce your final draft • Attach a plan for the writing that you can use in the final exam (the model may help) • Attach the scorecard and tick all of them off. Only hand-in EXCELLENT work! Due: 00/00
