In this module you will study two pieces of literature with a focus on their historical and social context.   Like Module 1 this module is open to the possibility of being re-sat  if you need/want to improve your grade.

However unlike module 1 you are allowed to take your copy of the text into the exam room with all your annotations in it.  You will sit a two hour exam which will consist of two hour long essays, one on each of the texts.

Your response will be marked alongside these Assessment Objectives (which your English teacher will go through with you prior to the exam)
