Students will learn to examine various text types that are connected by the theme of war and conflict. In this course we examine the horrors and realities of war, studying key conflicts mostly from the World War Two era.  Students will learn key themes such as the true nature of war, survival, honour and glory, and heroism. In this course we recognise what we can learn from the past conflicts and its relevance in society today.

 The key skills covered in this programme are:

  • creative and formal writing
  • literature short text studies
  • close reading
  • film analysis
  • oral text skills

Students will be expected to complete an independent reading programme as part of this and all other English A courses.
