TEACHER GUIDANCE
INTRODUCTION
We are grateful to the centres which provided us with the examples of students’ work which appear in this booklet as work-in-progress responses to the new LT2 internal assessment unit. The guidance in this booklet is directed at offering advice and support for LT2 Section A and
Section B in terms of:
1. Text selection
2. Task setting
3. Assessing student responses.
We recommend that you also refer to the advice relating to LT2 in the Teachers’ Guide: http://www.wjec.co.uk/uploads/publications/5482.pdf .
LT2 Section A: Prose Study (1500 words approximately)
1. Text selection
Centres should nominate for WJEC approval core texts (for detailed study, by an author from the list of specified authors) and partner texts (for wider reading) for this prose study, by the date advertised online in the specification, Teachers’ Guide and GCE English
Literature Teachers’ Bulletin.
The term 'prose text' for both core and partner texts will be taken to include the novel, a collection of short stories, autobiography and memoir, travel writing and essays. In choosing the partner text, please remember that the texts chosen should be of sufficient substance and challenge for Key Stage 5 students.
Nominations will not be accepted for texts which WJEC considers to be of insufficient substance and challenge for A level study, e.g. texts already established as popular options at Key Stages 3 and 4, or popular fiction which offers little in terms of widening students’ knowledge and understanding of writers’ use of literary concepts and contexts, form, structure and language.
Remember that the text chosen for partner text in Section A is one of the six texts to be read across the AS course, and one of the twelve texts to be read across the A level course as a whole. Teachers should act as the ‘first filter’ for accepting texts
