Students will learn about the genre of dystopian literature through a variety of texts such as The Hunger Games, Unwind and The Giver. We examine what categorizes this popular genre and why it continues to hold relevance in the world today. Students will learn about key dystopian themes such as power, control, and manipulation.

 The key skills covered in this programme are:

  • creative and formal writing
  • literature text studies
  • visual text creation and presentation
  • close reading
  • film analysis

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

The Dystopian course is an Option A course, completing the same skills as General English A, and War and Conflict but through a dystopian theme. All Year 11 students must select one course from Option A and one course from Option B to complete their English studies. 

 

Assessment:

There is one course assessment and three Year 11 Diploma assessments in this course.
