Well, a surprise was sprung this lesson. Our double was split asunder and we were privileged to have one half in the library with the poet, Mike Garry.

Let's let the pictures speak today:

The man himself, mingling after the session

It was great fun. The man loves words - and 8CH felt that love by the end.

And we even managed to calm down and finish our group work in the last lesson. There was some intelligent analysis of each extract and we manged to nail down all the main features of the diary format (see detail below) and more besides.

So the groups did pretty well - on the surface. Just how well will be revealed next lesson when one student from each group feeds back on how well the group did. It's another cliffhanger...
