Back to school
I’m about to return to school.
Or that is to say, I’ve just enrolled on an evening class studying for an A level in English Literature — first class tonight!
It’s a one-year course with only 3 hours of teaching a week. If it was 4.5 hours, it would still be approximately half the teaching hours of a full time 16-18 A level student so it’s going to be intensive!
I’m excitied, not to mention a little daunted, about returning to education more than seven years after leaving it full time, and exactly ten years since completing my first round of A levels.
The texts are:
Carol Ann Duffy (selected poetry)
Emma – Jane Austen
King Leah – Shakespeare
Death of a Salesman – Miller
Metaphysical poets (Donne, Herbert, Vaughan)
The Changeling – Middleton and Rowley
A Room with a View – Forster
The Remains of the Day – Ishaguro
