What the college says

This is an exciting course for students who enjoy reading and talking about texts, discussing themes, characterisation and the ways the authors present their ideas. You will study in detail a wide range of contemporary and traditional texts and learn to use more advanced literary analysis skills. This will involve using critical concepts and terminology, some of which you will have come across already in GCSE and others which will be new to you. You will develop your own responses to literature and also consider other readers' interpretations. Most lessons will involve discussion and you should be prepared to offer your ideas and to listen to and build on the ideas of others.
