Troops,

Here’s some important homework that you should do over the October break.  Don’t say I’m not good to you!  But seriously, we need to develop our analysis / understanding of the Bernard MacLaverty short story ‘A Time To Dance’.   Show me how brilliant you are!

First, complete this table by writing the numbers of the quotes into the columns (final page) that you think describe them best.  A-Time-To-Dance-Quote-Bank-With-Tasks (2)

Next, do this task, which involves more explanation of the ways the text develops character / theme etc. through techniques such as metaphor, key incident and irony.  Completing both is important.  Please complete this table.  Consider what the author is trying to convey through these features of the text:  A Time To Dance Quotes

You can do it!
