During the course, students will need to communicate effectively, research information from a variety of sources and express themselves, giving clear opinions about texts, supported with well-developed arguments. You will read a range of prose, drama and poetry as well as critical work. Success at A-Level is dependent on you sustaining a wide range of personal reading.
It is expected that students have achieved a Grade 7 in GCSE English Literature and a Grade 6 in GCSE English Language as this course builds on some of the knowledge and understanding of GCSE English Literature. You must be a strong reader and have an interest in history.
The specification is a mixture of written exams and coursework. The examination will involve studying the following: Exam: 80% • Exam One: Drama and poetry pre-1900 • Exam Two: Comparative and Contextual Study Course work: 20% • The non-exam assessment component requires candidates to study three texts from across the genres of poetry, drama and prose. • Task one offers a choice between a critical piece or a recreative piece with a commentary and task two is a ‘linked texts’ essay focusing on connections between two texts.
