When writing for the Spoken Voice students will:
• experiment through short writing activities in preparation for creating a text of their own

There are 2 controlled assessments for Unit 3; one to be completed the week before half-term, the other the first week of December.

 
 Spring

 Students will study a prose novel such as ‘Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’ by R L Stevenson. This is in preparation for the Literature examination.

The main focus is revision for the examinations in English Language and Literature. Students will have timed essays to complete in examination conditions in class. Students will need to re-read their cultural and prose novels, in addition to revising the 15 poems studied in class.
