Othello or King Lear, Death of a Salesman and poetry by John Keats. The exam includes close analysis of an extract from the play and questions that ask students to link aspects of the tragic and related concepts to their texts. • Paper 2 (open book): Elements of Social Protest Writing. Study of three texts: one post-2000 prose text; one poetry and one further text, one of which must be written pre-1900. This paper also includes a question on an unseen text. • Non-exam assessment: Two essays of 1250 -1500 words, each responding to a different text (one prose and one poetry), and linking to a different aspect of the Critical Anthology. Students are encouraged to choose texts independently.
