English - Literacy for Life<br />
The AP course offered by the English Faculty will<br />
run as a continuous course during the Michaelmas<br />
and Lent Terms of the L6. Participants, who may<br />
or may not be English A Level students, will be<br />
encouraged to develop their own reading and<br />
writing skills, focusing on reading critically and<br />
writing for purpose. It is hoped that students will<br />
leave the course better able to interrogate and<br />
evaluate things they read from any source, as well<br />
as being able to shape their own writing effectively<br />
and successfully. Areas of study will include:<br />
Creative writing - writing for audience.<br />
Writing for purpose - to include personal<br />
statements and job applications.<br />
The use of AI in fiction and non fiction writing<br />
- including referencing and writing prompts.<br />
Social media.<br />
Mainstream media.<br />
Literature and literary theory.<br />
Presentation and interview skills.<br />
Length of course: Two terms.<br />
Course requirements: None, this course is open to all students.
