In Term 1, the Sec 1 students studied plays. They wrote their own scripts in groups and that will be their assessment for CA1. The students also had a chance to role-play their scripts in class. Before the end of the term, we started on setting. Next term, we will be doing unseen prose. The students will learn how to use PEE to answer questions on setting, characterization and plot. In Term 3, students will be doing Roald Dahl's The Witches.
For Sec 2 students, they did Act 1 of Romeo and Juliet. Not quite sure how it was taught. For next term, they will be doing unseen poetry. They will also apply PEE to poetry.
There are no Lit classes for Sec 3 students as the number of interested students is too low to form a class.
The Sec 4s are doing The Good Earth. My CT spent most of the time going through plot with them to prepare them for common test because some students have not finished reading the tested chapters.
"They will also apply PEE to poetry." I love this line. Find it unusual to get them to write plays etc when they have not been taught certain fundamentals ... and then do setting in Term 2. And also to start with drama first ...
ReplyDeleteoh no so there won't be people taking Lit O levels next year?
ReplyDeletehow few were the interested Sec 3 students? I feel sad for them :(
I can't remember but there are less than 20 Sec 4s taking Lit this year so the number of interested Sec 3s should be less than that! That's why I'm tasked to teach more English than Lit.
