Welcome Week 2022 roundup from CELT
As part of the Freshers’ Marketplace, CELT set up a stall introducing students to the support provided by the team. Here, CELT members briefly explained the services of Learning Development, Digital Learning and Student Engagement, as well as promoting organised activities. This year saw the introduction of events not only during enrolment week, but also two weeks post-enrolment. The aim of this was to maintain engagement with students for not only enrolment week, but for the following weeks. Events were advertised via the Welcome Week programme, Blackboard and posters were displayed around campus. CELT decided to lay on a greenscreen and mini carnival for enrolment week. Greenscreen - students visited CELT to have their picture taken, with a background of their choice, either as an individual or with friends. The photo was then put into a keyring as a keepsake which the students collected a little later. One of the challenges of this was the clothing choice of students. Unfortunately, those who turned up in a green top disappeared into the background! However, this added to the humour of the event. Mini carnival – thankfully the weather was on our side so this took place in the courtyard outside CELT. Many traditional games including tin-can-alley and hook-a-duck, were available for students to participate in, with the aim to win a prize. Hook-a-duck was extremely successful and proved to be a hit with students. This was in part, due to the ‘CELT generated’ storm which made the game more difficult but definitely more fun. Those who took part, including the Vice-Chancellor, will know what this means! Follow-on activities On the following two Wednesdays (28 September and 5 October), and at the request of the Students’ Union to continue student engagement post enrolment, further events were laid on by CELT. On each Wednesday, the green screen continued to make an appearance, but this was accompanied by the CELT Escape Room. In teams of a maximum of 6, students had to answer puzzles in 4 rooms, each room giving a number to a padlock. Only on correctly working out the padlock number, were they able to escape (and win some goodies). A varied level of help was provided by CELT staff but thanks to persistence and determination shown by our students, they managed to escape! The carnival will be making a reappearance on 9 November in the Students’ Union building, between 12 noon and 3pm. Come and join us for more fun and goodies. See you soon! CELT -

BGU Tennyson Poetry Award 2023
Following what is now a tradition at BGU, the English team would like to invite you all to celebrate the power of language through poetry this spring with the BGU Tennyson Poetry Award 2023. Why not take the opportunity during this April break to enjoy some poetry by venturing into poems by April born poets such as Maya Angelou, William Wordsworth, Charlotte Bronte and William Shakespeare, for example, or writing some lines of your own to seize a moment or reflect on the world outside or inside you. If inspired, we would like students and staff to consider taking part in BGU Tennyson Poetry Award 2023. To do so, write lines and lyrics in response to 'Flower in the crannied wall' by Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892). You can find some of its lines carved on the plinth of Tennyson’s statue here in Lincoln, on the grounds of the Cathedral. Inspired by the Lincolnshire-born Victorian Poet Laureate, the Tennyson Poetry Award asks you to submit an original poem in response to a poem by Tennyson. Your poem may respond to Tennyson’s ‘Flower in the crannied wall’ in multiple and varied ways, without limits in terms of form, style, and lyrical language. To submit your poem, please send it as an attachment via email, including your name and contact details, to Dr Claudia Capancioni, Programme Leader for English, by 2nd June 2023 - claudia.capancioni@bishopg.ac.uk The winner/s will be announced on National Poetry 2023 (Thursday 5th October 2023). ‘Flower in the crannied wall’: Flower in the crannied wall, I pluck you out of the crannies, I hold you here, root and all, in my hand, Little flower—but if I could understand What you are, root and all, and all in all, I should know what God and man is. - Alfred Lord Tennyson To celebrate National Poetry Day 2022, which was included in the Black History Month programme, staff and students shared their personal experiences, whether they were fun memories, intimate moments and shared wisdom, through their poems. It was a very enriching experience for those who attended: and we also all learnt how to compose a book spine poem and about the importance of personal triads. During the event, we also announced and had the pleasure to enjoy a poem that was awarded the Tennyson Poetry Award 2022, ‘A Word from Amphitrite’ by Daisy Hardwick Shaw. ‘A Word from Amphitrite’, is a poem by third-year English Literature student, Daisy Hardwick Shaw. Her original poem was inspired by an extract from ‘Ulysses’ by Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) and, with her permission, we share with you here: ‘A Word from Amphitrite’ by Daisy Hardwick Shaw
