Level 2 English (UE Lit - R/W)

Option Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms M. Carrigan.

This course is designed to bring creative processes to the creation of oral, visual, and written text. You will be taught to use critical processes to understand and infer meaning and to recognise how writers position an audience for a purpose. To learn to question sources, perspectives, and representation. To make deliberate language choices and ‘look beyond’ the text and make connections to self, other texts, and the world. This entails meta-cognitive processes as you read and make increasingly sophisticated texts reflect on and use a range of strategies to create meaning.
