Outline per strand.

Poetry

From song of ourselves volume 1 part 2, Song of ourselves volume 2 part 3 and New selected Poems by Carol Ann Duffy

The following 10 poems were selected for the candidates to read, internalize, analyze, critique and acquaint themselves with in preparation for their IGCSE Literature in English Examination;

She dwelt among the untrodden ways by William Wordsworth.
War photographer by Carol Ann Duffy.
Midterm Break by Seamus Heaney.
Recognition by Carol Ann Duffy.
Prayer by Carol Ann Duffy.
We remember your childhood well by Carol Ann Duffy.
Marry song by Dennis Scott.
Rooms by Charlotte Mew.
The Good teacher by Carol Ann Duffy.
Valentine by Carol Ann Duffy.

Any one or two or more of the above poems could be set in an IGCSE examination and the mode of questioning varies from asking how a persona is portrayed in the poem by a speaker or poet, to conveying the effect of a major theme on a persona among others. All call for detailed points, well-illustrated and explained with vivid examples and quotations in reference to the poem.

A candidate is expected to choose only one prose. Either a novel or poem.

Paper 1 Section B.(Prose).

Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
5 short stories, from stories of ourselves and they include;

Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde (1888) page 38-43.
The Yellow paper by Charlotte Perkins

Gilman (1892) page 44-55.

Her First Ball by Katherine Mansfield (1921) page 113-117.
The Village Saint by Bessie Head (1977) page 295-299.
Tyres by Adam Thorpe (2000) page 406-417.

A candidate is expected to choose only one text under prose and answer in line with the question asked.

For prose we have planned to have 3 options, that is 2 novels and 5 stories from which a learner will choose one that best suites them and either write an essay or answer a passage based question in line with the mode of question that might require identifying, commenting, using or showing awareness on how characters’ lives end, language structure and form used, themes and setting.

Paper 2 (Closed Drama)

We chose 3 texts and they are;

12th Night by William Shakespeare.
The Crucible by Arthur Miller.
Journey’s End by R.C Sheriff.

A candidate is expected to answer 2 questions on 2 texts.

1 question on a text should be passage based and the other question should be on a different text and an essay must be answered in written form.

12th Night has 5 Acts and 18 scenes in total.

The Crucibles has 2 Acts and 5 scenes in total.

Journey’s End by R.C Sheriff.

The above drama texts all require a candidate to first clearly read, highlight key terms, display knowledge of texts through quotations and vivid examples from the text in terms of characters, themes, setting, language and techniques then be able to carefully decide which will be passage based and which will be an essay.
