AS Literature

Instructor

  • Description
English literature-.webp

The exam is in two papers. The first assesses responses to drama and an unfamiliar text. Students are given a passage and told to analyse and respond with an argument in easy form. This requires a good knowledge of literary terminology and insight into writers’ choices of structure and language. The drama will be either modern or Shakespearian.

The second paper examines poetry and prose texts, which have been studied in class. The poetry will be from an anthology, often up to about 30 poems, and the prose will be either a novel or anthology of short stories.

Schools will have chosen texts for the above.

Note: either Language or Literature is acceptable for the Literacy component for entry to a New Zealand university.
