1 Wolmer s Boys School Fourth Form English Literature Course Outline Genres: Prose and Poetry Primary Texts: A World of Prose & A World of Poetry Easter Term RATIONALE: The CSEC English B Syllabus focuses on fostering analytical and critical reading skills in students who sit the English Literature exam. As students advance in the education system, these skills become invaluable and not only assist them in writing and expressing themselves more articulately, but aid them in becoming more perceptive individuals in society. Furthermore, in order to grasp the various concepts and engage meaningfully with the texts, students must be cognizant of the core elements that comprise the respective genres. This unit is also formulated to assist students in developing an appreciation of literature not only as a subject area, but as an art form that presents aspects of society for criticism or as a means of celebration. As a result, the literary texts will assist students in gaining exposure to other realities that are similar and dissimilar to their own, and will help them to respect difference.
