Description

***This class is only available to students 16 and older.***

In this Term 2 course, we will explore a diverse range of award-winning short stories, short films, and full-length films. As we delve into these texts, we will critically evaluate their literary and cinematic merit, inviting you to form your own opinions about their artistic value.

During the first block, we will be examining a curated selection of texts. However, as we progress through the course, you will have the opportunity to help shape our focus through your suggestions.  We will also cover assessments including AS91475, AS91478, and specific preparation for externals. 

It is worth noting that some of the films and stories we will explore deal with mature themes. While we will only watch films with an M rating in class, we will be discussing texts that are rated R16. As a result, this course is only available to students aged 16 and older.
