What is this course about? Principally, English Literature promotes the development of skills which are both highly valued by universities and employers and useful in life. Not least of these is the ability to analyse, to read for meaning. In this, you’ll be building on much of what made you successful at GCSE! We’re also in the business of enabling your ability and confidence in communication. We’ll help you to express your ideas with precision and passion whether it’s in group discussions or in creative or discursive writing. Crucially, the ‘non-exam assessment (or coursework) element of this course is a huge invitation to explore and enjoy independent learning. What will I learn? The course we follow in Y12 is AQA’s AS Love Through the Ages beginning with what has been described as ‘the perfect novel’, The Great Gatsby followed by Shakespeare’s tragic exploration of jealousy, Othello. Preparing for an AS exam at the end of Y12, we’ll cover a poetry anthology and a second prose text which could be Ian McEwan’s Atonement or Daphne Du Maurier’s Rebecca. The non-exam/coursework unit allows for a free choice of texts and a guided range of topics. A chance to explore the literature that you’re passionate about!
