Description

This is a comprehensive guide to the Literature programme. It is written to accompany and to empower the individual student throughout the course. It is also an invaluable classroom resource, written with a close and detailed knowledge and understanding of the course from the student, teacher and examiner perspective. The Guide:

  • Explains the whole Literature programme logically and lucidly, revealing productive connections between the different parts
  • Highlights the areas that students typically find difficult (eg: ‘close’ reading of texts, and essay writing), and demonstrates how to master these in clear, accessible stages
  • Defines and illustrates concepts and processes in the programme that are crucial to success but often unclear to students (and teachers)
  • Focuses in detail on each assessed component in turn, outlining what each task is, how it is assessed, and how to build the necessary skills for it
  • Provides outstanding examples of student work, with a useful analysis of each sample, so that students understand clearly how that level of work is achieved
  • Is easy to navigate and follow: chapter sections are thoughtfully organised and sequenced with clear headings; complex processes are made accessible through visuals
  • Ensures that students understand and apply what they have learned from each section and chapter, through ‘reflection’ and ‘activity’ boxes that help develop their competence in each task
