English Creative Level 2 (UE Lit - R/W)
Option Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms M. Carrigan.
This course is strongly recommended for those students who intend to study English at Level 3 or humanity subjects at university level. The course builds on the skills from Level 1 English and develops a wide range of analytical reading, writing and thinking skills.
Students will learn to analyse more complex texts and will develop their critical thinking skills. Students will also develop greater sophistication in using language (verbal and written) for purpose and effect.
For the external assessments, students will study a range of genres and text types. They will develop their essay writing skills for the TWO external standards assessed in the end-of-year exam.
For the internally assessed standards students must attempt the crafted and controlled writing. Students will also have some agency over which further three internal assessments they complete; the intention is to allow students to play to their strengths and interests.
This course offers literacy credits for entry into university.
