Introducing and focusing on the key concepts for Cambridge IGCSE Level Literature in English and practicing answering various essay questions.

AIMS

As per Cambridge IGCSE literature standards, the AIMS of this course is to help develop learners who:

- enjoy the experience of reading literature

- understand and respond to literary texts in different forms and from different periods and cultures

- communicate an informed personal response appropriately and effectively

- appreciate different ways in which writers achieve their effects

- experience literature’s contribution to aesthetic, imaginative and intellectual growth

- explore the contribution of literature to an understanding of areas of human concern

CONTENT

The syllabus enables learners to read, interpret and evaluate texts by studying literature in English. Along with learning the foundational elements of literature, learners develop an understanding of literal meaning, relevant contexts, and of the deeper themes or attitudes that may be expressed. Through their studies, they learn to recognize and appreciate how writers use English to achieve a range of effects and will be able to present an informed, personal response to the material they have studied.

The syllabus also encourages the exploration of wider and universal issues, promoting learners’ better understanding of themselves and of the world around them.

Course Requirements:

1.    An Open Mind – Literature allows us to see the world through a variety of perspectives, some of which will be very similar to their own, but many will present new ideas and outlooks on life.

2.    Come Prepared – As writing composes a large part of ELA, and it is impossible to write without a pen or pencil and something to write on, you need to have these things with you each day.

3.    No Plagiarism – Students have talents and valuable thoughts and ideas, so there is no need to use someone else’s thoughts or ideas and present them as their own. Any form of plagiarism will not be tolerated and may cause a student to fail this course.

-        3-4 packs of Paper (loose-leaf)

- Computer

-        3-Ring Binder (2 inches)

-        5 Tab Dividers (Writing, Vocab Notebook, Homework, Literature, Portfolio)

-        (2) 2-Pocket Folder  (AIS, Homework)

-        (2) 1 Subject Notebooks or 3 ring notebooks.  (Literature Binder)

-        Dictionary (to keep at home) Pens/Pencils
