English Literature.

By studying A-Level English Literature B, you will approach the reading and study of canonical texts through the lens of genre and theory. Studying prose, poetry and drama you will be encouraged to develop analytical skills across the full range of texts and deepen your understanding of the contexts in which they were created. You will build a wide range of skills by developing a sense of opinion and the ability to thoroughly discuss and argue your point of view. By taking part in seminar-style lessons, you will develop the ability to read critically, analyse, evaluate and undertake independent research, whilst fostering a love for the subject.

Throughout A-Level, you will explore- and be assessed on-three elements:

• Paper 1 - Aspects of Tragedy

• Paper 2 - Elements of Political and Social Protest Writing

• Non-exam Assessment - Theory and Independence

Both exams explore texts within the genre selected and will require you to demonstrate a fuII knowledge of the text and context surrounding it.
