English (KS4):
Students begin a 2 year GCSE course in both English Language and English Literature. For English coursework, students must produce work in individual, paired and group situations. They produce 2 pieces of writing, one is a creative task and the other is an example of non-fiction writing. Other assignments are responses to a Shakespeare play, post-1900 poetry, pre-1900 poetry and pre-1900 prose. It is usual for most of the coursework to be completed by the end of year 10. In addition to coursework, reading and writing skills are practised throughout the year in preparation for examinations.
Year 11 is primarily devoted to the intensive study of a modern drama text and a modern prose text for the literature examination. Students will also be developing and practising their close reading skills and imaginative and factual writing skills in preparation for the English examination.
