Independent post-reading tasks

Your homework is to attempt one of the post-reading tasks from the study book (this will be assigned to you in class) and make a detailed presentation/information sheet/worksheet for the other members of the class. Once you have done this and the class has been handed your presentation, I would like you to comment on each of the presentations that you were provided with.

So, for example, if Gaia provided you with a beautiful presentation on the significance of children in the play, you would put a comment up on this post saying something like 'Thanks for the insights on Gus: I hadn't seen him as a fuction of hope and intuition until you pointed it out...'

You get the gist.

Hannah and Bernard

Please post general comments on Hannah and Bernard here that you think may be helpful for the current essay. For example, you might think that Hannah is secretly a little bit Bernard-esque.

Blinded by science?

The scientific and mathematical elements of Arcadia can be quite confusing, as you will know if you have read scenes 3 and 4. Do not be disheartened! Below are some websites that will help to clear up (most) confusion.
