AS This two year course is designed to ensure breadth and balance. Students will study a wide range of poetry, prose and drama from 1300 to the present day. They will be encouraged to make connections and comparisons between texts and to investigate the contexts in which the texts were written and received. This allows students to consider contemporary critical writing and to develop independence. In Year 12 students will study poetic form, content and meaning in preparation for responding to an unseen poem and extend their understanding of the concerns and choices of modern day poets. They will also study aspects of drama via one play, exploring the use of literary and dramatic devices and how playwrights shape meaning. Students will study aspects of prose via two thematically linked texts. They will explore links and connections between them and the contexts in which they were written and received. A2 Students will study aspects of drama via two plays, including one by Shakespeare. They will also study a range of poetry, from the established literary canon through to the present day. They will study a selection of poetry from a specified poetry collection. Coursework will be assessed via two texts. Both texts are enhanced by the study of the links and connections between them, different interpretations and the contexts in which they were written and received.
