Literature

This literature scheme of work for this term is centered entirely on William Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The first four weeks focus on reading and exploring the storyline, helping students understand the plot, major events, and how different elements of fantasy, love, and conflict are woven together in the play. This foundational work introduces learners to Shakespearean drama and its thematic richness.

Subsequent weeks delve into character and characterization, where students analyze the traits, motivations, and relationships of key figures in the play. The final phase emphasizes Shakespeare’s use of language and stylistic techniques such as imagery, puns, and poetic devices. By the end of the term, students will have a well-rounded grasp of the play’s literary depth, character development, and artistic form.
