Assessment

Coursework: 2500 words and worth 20% This involves a comparative study of two texts, one of which must be pre-1900. Texts for this are decided by class teacher/pupil and are not set by the exam board. Two examinations worth 80% ‘Love through the Ages’ and ‘World War 1 and its Aftermath’ are the two units set for study by AQA. Both units contain a wide range of accessible and exciting texts which pupils will study during this two year course. Possible texts could include The Great Gatsby, Othello, Journey's End, First Casualty and a fantastic range of poetry on Love and War.
