Key Stage 4 - GCSE

 

Students study the AQA 8702 specification. 

The specification takes a skills-based approach to the study of English literature that is consistent across the genres. The question papers and mark schemes allow teachers to get back to inspirational literature teaching and allow students of all abilities to achieve their best on every question.

The texts we currently study are Romeo and Juliet, An Inspector Calls, Conflict Poetry and a Christmas Carol.

English Literature

English Literature comprises of two exams:  the first is 1 hour and 45 minutes and the second is 2 hours and 15 minutes. 


Paper One:

  1. Question requiring an essay response on Romeo and Juliet.
  2. Question requiring an essay response on A Christmas Carol.  

For both of these questions, students are given an extract from the text to help them with their response.  


Paper Two:

  1. Question which requires an essay response on An Inspector Calls.  
  2. Question requiring an essay response comparing two poems from the Anthology, one of which will be given to the students.  
  3. Question requiring the students to respond  to an unseen poem.
  4. Question requiring the students to compare a new unseen poem to the unseen poem in the previous question.
