Candidates will study a range of genres and text types throughout their time on the course. An array of texts will be studied: a Shakespearean play, a modern play, prose texts and a compilation of poetry. The course aims to develop analytical, critical and evaluative skills through the study of a range of unseen texts. We will also look at the critical opinions of others on the texts and use media to inform our interpretations. When possible, students are offered theatre trips to see studied texts performed. In addition to this you will be given the opportunity to write a critical piece on a work of literature that you have enjoyed and/or turn that piece into a different form altogether through the re-creative process in the coursework component of the course.

The examination builds on the same texts you will have studied at AS so careful revision is needed. Awarding - Created 20160317 14:39:33 Updated 20160317 14:39:33
