Study Task: 09/09/10 (Due Thurs 16th)

1. Using your scrapbooks find one text that you class as "Literature" and one that you would regard as just a story or fiction

- annotate features that show why
- continue to annotate sentence and grammatical features as you did in the first study task

You may use any form of fiction from plays and novels through to short stories or poetry.

Try not to just use Hamlet and Twilight!

2. Use the definitions of literature we copied from the board: state which three you agree with most and why.

Write your own sentence that defines what literature means to you.
