GCSE Overview
This component assesses learners on either prose or drama from 1914 onwards, a 19th century prose text and unseen poetry. In Section A and Section B, learners will need to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of aspects of plot, characterisation, events and key themes; they will need to evaluate and analyse how language, structure and form are used by the writer to create meanings and effects. In Section B, learners will also need to show their understanding of the varied contexts of their chosen text. Section C consolidates many of the skills learners have developed as it requires learners to demonstrate these skills in a comparison of two unseen poems.
