Modules: Component 1: Voices in Speech and Writing: An anthology of non-fiction extracts and one drama text (Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire). Component 2: Varieties in Language and Literature: Two texts connected by the topic ‘The Individual and Society’ (one collection of poetry Philip Larkin’s The Whitsun Weddings and one novel F Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby). Component 3: Coursework: Creative writing includes one fiction piece and one non-fiction piece related to a specific theme and a core text. You must write a commentary to describe the choices made in the creative pieces.
- Five GCSEs at grade 4 or above including Maths. - Grade 5 or above in GCSE English Language. - Grade 5 or above in a GCSE written subject eg. History, Geography, Humanities, English Literature, Business, Media Studies, Religious Studies (full course), Drama or Film.
You will be assessed mainly by examination with a coursework component in the second year. During both years you will write analyses, essays on literary texts, and transformation texts and take part in presentations. As a second-year student, you will complete coursework which is creative writing inspired by texts you have read
