This class will develop skills in discussion, literary analysis, themes, cultural context, characterisation, and an introduction to literary criticism. We will look at how to structure and write essays as a response to literature: both persuasive and comparison.

Additionally, a text of their choice from a chosen list of texts.
After year 1 there is the option of taking year 2 of the class where we build on the first year and look at Dickens and British poetry. From this, the student will write a final essay.
The Contextual History – Year 1 – Tudor & Georgian Era course is a required companion to this course for those studying for the iGCSE Literature exam. Students following the USA High School Diploma & Transcript model will receive 1 Social Studies and 1 Literature & Composition credit for each class successfully completed with a passing grade when taking both courses.
*Year 2 for both British Literature & Contextual History is necessary for the complete preparation for the iGCSE Edexcel or A-Level Cambridge exam. Year 2 of these courses is planned for release in 2024 for the 24-25 school year.

My 14-yr old daughter participated in the British Literature class in Spring 2024 and she loved this class. She loved delving deeper into one of her favorite books, Pride and Prejudice. She found it challenging and very inspiring. She did this class in conjunction with the British Contextual History, and learned so much about this era, which also gave wonderful context for a deeper understanding of Pride and Prejudice, and Jane Austen’s other works. So enjoyed working with Arise and their instructors!
