A LEVEL ENGLISH LITERATURE
Whilst studying A Level English, students read a variety of texts covering two genres: comedy and political protest writing. Students will also produce two independent pieces of coursework, giving them the opportunity to examine an author’s intentions across their writing and to critique texts from different ideological standpoints. The key skill fostered is to form an interpretation and support this through a convincing, original argument.
