In my last post on my primary research, I stated that I would present my results and come to conclusions after posting some responses I got to the questions asked.
In reality, this was harder than I expected it to be. Initially, I was going to individually count each response I got to the first three questions (on the texts they could recall teaching previously), however this proved to be difficult to keep track of and was very time consuming. I ended up having to come to a consensus of which texts appeared the most, being 'A Christmas Carol', 'Of Mice and Men' and 'Lord of the Flies', along with plays by Shakespeare, such as 'Macbeth' and 'Romeo and Juliet'.
With these results, and the comments that were made by teachers, (seen in the previous post), I am able to conclude that the curriculum includes a majority of authors that are white males, along with characters that are white males, having a lack of culture, where there are differing opinions by teachers (with some believing that there needed to be no change, and the majority wanting change to include more BAME characters). I believe that this reinforces my point as it shows how many people want change within the curriculum, with the additional point of the lack of time when teaching being raised.
