  3. Learning Objective We are learning to…analyse a poem using the state-quote-comment model.

  4. In unit 3 you will do the following: • Read a selection of poetry and prose • Analyse previously unseen poetry and prose • Compare three texts chosen from a range of poetry collections and novels, at least one of which will be published after 1900 • Relate texts to the contexts in which they were produced or to which the refer • Interpret texts in light of other readers’ interpretation

  5. How you will be examined: This unit of study leads towards oneexam of 2 hours and 45 minutes which contains two questions: 1) Analyse an unseen poem OR prose fiction passage in Section A 2) Write an essay comparing at least two prescribed texts

  6. Skill set required Some of the skills involved in study at A2: • Analysis • Problem solving • Critical thinking • Study skills • Independent learning • The ability to create an argument • The importance of the need to practice

  7. In addition… You will need to demonstrate the following: • Your ability to choose your own focus for unprepared material • Your ability to compare texts in a variety of ways • Your ability to independently interpret texts as a modern reader • The use you make of wider reading

  8. Section A You will use the same analysis skills employed at AS but build on them further by: • Making your own decisions about what to comment on • Evaluating the writer’s techniques and giving your opinion about their effectiveness • Writing your response in essay form

  9. Section B You will study 3 texts chosen from the ‘War’ theme. The texts are a combination of novels and poetry. For this section you will need to: • Respond to texts in light of a reader’s comment or ‘proposition’ • Find suitable ways of comparingat least two of the texts • Show how the context of the text influences the way in which they are written • Show how other readers might interpret your chosen texts • Give a personal interpretation of your chosen texts as a modern reader in a modern context. NB: Propositions are the sharable objects of the attitudes and the primary bearers of truth and falsity.

  10. How to succeed in unit 3 • Develop the confidence to interpret texts yourself • Develop the confidence to judge the effectiveness of texts yourself • Read a wide range of prose fiction, poetry and literary criticism; the more you read and research, the better your exam performance is likely to be
