literature in SKSS

Unfortunately, there is no upper secondary literature offered in Seng Kang Secondary School, so I have to be contented with teaching literature to a class of Secondary Two students for now. From what I understand students are exposed to simple poetry and prose in Secondary One and taught basic literary devices such as personification and simile, which they revisit again at greater depth and breadth in Secondary Two. In Secondary Two they are taught basic skills on how to analyse an unseen poem, and assessed based on these skills: the format of the test is structured in a way that is more like comprehension, where there is a series of questions based on an unseen poem and students have to give short answers. However, it does differ from comprehension in that the questions asked are more specifically related to literature, for instance a student might be asked to identify a device used and explain what it shows about the theme etc. There is also a set text for Secondary Two students, which I will begin teaching immediately after the March holidays, and this year the school is intending to introduce "The Boy in Striped Pyjamas" for the first time. On one hand, this means that there aren't many resources available as yet for teachers to utilise; on the other hand, however, it also implies that there will be more flexibility in terms of how the text is to be taught, which is a good thing. Unlike for English, where there is a scheme of work outlining what skills are to be taught every single week, for literature it seems like there is more freedom, and while there are set texts to be taught and certain timeframes within which to finish teaching these texts, everything else seems to be more or less up to the teacher to decide.
