Hello good students (it’s not too late for you to make another New Year’s resolution right?)

For our first lesson, do have your study copy of A Room with a View with you. We will hopefully get to learn a little about you and me (just a little, rest assured) before recovering what we know about Forster’s novel. We will take it slow, but not too slow either, as some of you do have quite a bit to catch up in terms of literary analysis and a decent enough understanding of Room.

Can I also make the gentle request that everyone have a Google account, so that you can make use of Google Docs for the whole year? This, trust me, will help me help you to the fullest extent. Oh and yes, prepare to give your Lit rep the money (about $30) for a published copy for exams and a CJC study copy of Harold Pinter’s The Birthday Party by the first tutorial if you haven’t already. I prepared the latter and it is, at the moment, an ‘exclusive’. After 2 years of teaching the text, I feel confident enough.

See you when the (often cruel) timetable decides!

Looking forward to class (kind of),
Mr Lim
