AS LITERATURE REUNITED

Just a reminder that we are meeting back as a class on my side of the course this Thursday (17th). Please make sure that you bring your Frost booklets and the work you have been set on Gathering Leaves/Leaf treader. I will also remind you on Thursday of some of the key things to remember when sorting out your final  piece of coursework.

A2 LIT - are you free tomorrow night?!

Thanks to Lucy for pointing out that Dr Faustus is on at Ealing Theatre - she says it's good - and for discovering that there is a discussion and Q&A with the director & cast tomorrow night at the end of the performance. If you are free and Ealing is accessible then this looks like a good opportunity for you...
PS Please remember that you need to have read the next bit of Othello in 2.1 (up to where Othello arrives on Cyprus).
