We do all do the same Harwood poems.

According to the Board of Studies prescriptions thingy for 2004-05 they are:

Alter Ego
The Glass Jar
At Mornington
Prize-Giving
Father and Child (Parts I and II)
The Violets

Thankyou! I haven't studied Harwood in school yet-- have just been given stuff to read-- and though I like Prize-Giving the best, I had little ideas as to the point of it. So this is a nice pointer!

yes we all study the same poems, and they're not too bad i dont think.
but its all about critical readings ppl...anyone like to shed light here--where to start looking?!

 

[MoOTz]

What did u guys write for the reception theory for any of her poems?

 

[Carlz135]

Harwood- critical readings

I have an assessment task on Harwood unit on Wed. We have to write a feature article that brings in all the prescribed poems and critical readings of them. We have only just gone through Feminist, postmodern, psycho-analytic as overviews but have barely applied anyhting to anything.

Can anyone give me tips or notes on crical readings, where to find them and/or how to go about writing about them in a feature article???

Yuk eh!

 

[MoOTz]

does anyone have notes on At Mornington or Alter Ego?

 

[clerisy]

Glorious!
