Freaky Friday

10:00 Reviewed notes on Unit 4.

10:25 Began Unit 5 Techniques used in poetry.

I've been reading up such things as 'end rhymes', 'rhyming couplets' etc.

15:40 Reading about 'metre', 'feet', 'iambic pentametre' etc. VERY difficult. Reading also about the requirements for TMA02.

17:00 I've been writing, nothng to do with my studies - just writing! And I'm on a roll!

I'll study tomorrow and Sunday for 3 hours each and write my story for a few hours each day. I'd like to finish it by Monday lunchtime so that I can read it out at the Slough Writers Group on Monday night and the members can critique it.
