This course builds critical skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Students engage with a variety of texts, such as Shakespearean plays like Romeo and Juliet or The Tempest, modern novels, like Christmas Carol, and a selection of poetry from different time periods. Students will analyze these texts for themes such as conflict, identity, and power, examining the use of literary devices like metaphor, symbolism, and imagery. Writing tasks include composing descriptive pieces, persuasive essays, and advertisement. Students also practice comparative analysis, for instance, comparing how war is depicted in two poems. Speaking and listening activities involve group debates on themes from literature, dramatic readings of soliloquies, and delivering presentations on authorial intent. This comprehensive approach develops a deep appreciation of literature, effective communication skills, and critical thinking.
