A-Level consists of two examined components and one coursework component. The two exams are equally weighted and offer opportunities for candidates to provide extended exploratory written responses. The first examined component focuses on drama and poetry pre-1900. The second examined component 'Comparative and Contextual Study' will offer the candidates the opportunity to study text thematically linked. A-Level also includes a coursework component worth 20% of the final award. Candidates are required to study three texts from across the genres of poetry, drama and prose. Task one is a recreative piece with a commentary and task two is a 'linked text' essay, focusing on connections and comparisons between two texts. Study during the course will include: extensive reading and analysis of set texts, background reading and research, note taking, summaries, debate, discussion, presentation, extended essay writing and independent thinking.
