Year 12 The syllabus provides a wide range of appealing but challenging texts. Students must enjoy reading and be prepared to read widely. Under the broad heading of “Literary Genres”, students will study “Aspects of Tragedy” a course consisting of the study of one Shakespeare play (“Othello”), one further work of drama (Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman) and a collection of poetry by John Keats. Year 13 Year 13 students will study “Texts and Genres: elements of crime writing”. They will study three texts: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Brighton Rock by Graham Greene and When Will There Be Good News? by Kate Atkinson. The exam will include an unseen passage drawn from the crime genre. Students will also complete non-examined assessment (NEA), comprising a study of two texts: one poetry and one prose. They will choose a different critical viewpoint from the AQA Critical Anthology with which to approach each text. They must write two essays of 1250 -1500 words, each responding to a different text. One essay may be re-creative. The re-creative piece will be accompanied by a commentary. Texts may be chosen by the students with guidance from their teachers. Students will be formally examined on their work over the two years at the end of the whole A level course in Year 13.
