Hi everyone,
Welcome back and welcome to the start of your A2 year of the Lang Lit course. We're going to be focusing on your coursework this term, which is a critical and creative study into the genre of Dystopia, so you need to do some initial research into the genre to familiarise yourself with this. You will be making a start on your important and critical reading as your summer task.
We have already started on the coursework in class, however some of you have missed the introductory lessons due to exams. With that in mind, everyone who was not present on Monday 6th June needs to read the following PowerPoint:
Coursework Introduction
Work through the PowerPoint in coordination with your green coursework booklets. You will need to read the article entitled: 'Dystopian Elements and Characteristics - Basic Building Blocks of Dystopia' and the introduction to George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four to help you with this.
Next, you need to listen to the BBC Radio 4 dystopian play 'Produce', as a radio play is one option for your creative task.
Listen to the play here.
It's around 50 minutes long, so you will need to listen to it carefully and without distractions. Just sit and enjoy listening to the play and the storytelling.
As you are listening, fill in the worksheet to help you get the most out of this task.
Link to worksheet.
Your first piece of homework, due on Monday 13th, is to take the ideas from 'Produce', and write the opening to your own dysopian radio play.
Enjoy - dystopia is a great genre so I hope you get your teeth stuck into these tasks!
