genres
• Basic elements of drama and Screenplay
• Analyzing story telling in poetry with focus on free verse and narrative
poetry

childhood , innocence, friends, relationships, utopia, dystopia, survival
,spirituality, revenge through select body of work
• Focus on Analyzing and evaluating stated evidence to justify creators
choices

Unit 2: Communication in context

journeys, media and mass media, systems, power, justice, peace and conflict, health
and well- being and lifestyles explored through closed reading of non-literary texts
• Advocacy and expression through Poetry

advocacy PSA, lecture, pod script, Appeal, Lecture , Talk, nuances oof formal and
informal writing
 • Focus on Analyzing and evaluating stated evidence to justify creator’s choices
• Exploration of intertextual connections between multi-modal texts through
comparative essays
.
A variety of texts will feature in each assessment, and they will include:
• a written extract from a literary or non-literary text
• multimedia text
• static image(s)
Forms of literature in MYP language and literature courses typically include
poetry, prose (short stories and novels from a variety of genres), mythology
and drama. Additional literary and non-literary texts include:
• multimedia texts, including screenplays, film, television programmes
and drama series
• biography and autobiography
• essays, letters, narrative non-fiction and informational text
• speeches, oral traditions
• graphic novels.

Task Details

Analysing task - techniques of literary and non-literary analysis done and will
be reinforced here.
This task assesses students’ ability to analyse, then compare and contrast
two unseen text extracts (one written text and one multimedia text). It is
made up of a series of short response questions which focus on criterion A,
followed by an extended response question which is assessed using criteria A
and B. The task assesses students’ ability to:

• analyse techniques used in written and multimedia texts, giving

justifications for their opinions (criterion A)
• organize their work in a coherent and logical manner (criterion B).

Producing literary text task Visual analysis techniques explored/ students

explored folktales.
This is an extended creative writing task, with a stimulus of two static images
provided. The task assesses students’ ability to:
• produce a literary text that demonstrates imagination or sensitivity
and an awareness of impact on audience (criterion C)
• produce text, demonstrating the ability to write in an appropriate
register with grammatical accuracy (criterion D).

Students have been introduced to new narrative genre forms such as

ekphrastic poetry and screenplay, monologues. Dystopian fictional texts have
been added to the texts for analysis.

Producing non-literary text task (Will be covered under Unit 2)

This is an extended non-literary writing task, and it is connected to the global

context focus for the session and year of study. The task assesses students’
ability to:
• organize their work in a coherent and logical manner (criterion B)
• produce a non-literary text which demonstrates imagination or
sensitivity and an awareness of impact on audience (criterion C)
 • produce text, demonstrating the ability to write in an appropriate
register with grammatical accuracy (criterion D).

Students will be given practice of writing in formal and informal registers, by

introducing several new text types while focusing more on unpacking the
question and creating text conventions from the prompt itself.

In the subsequent lessons in January, focused practice based on global

context will be given to students. Further practice of analysis, inference and
compare and contrast essay will be provided.
