I. ENGLISH LANGUAGE: In preparation for the 2nd term examination students should study all class notes, journals and discussions. They should also review the 2014 Coursebook, Workbook and Grammar material we have studied so far. This year's exam will have the following format: Paper 2 - Composition - Argumentative or Discursive Writing.  You should write between 600 and 900 words  25 marks are available Paper 1 - Passages. Part A: Comment on the ways in which language and style are used….. [15 marks are available ] Below are points that will assist you in preparation:  Read the question carefully, comment only on the aspects required in the question.  Remember to identify distinguishing features of the texts, relate them to the function and context of the writing, and organize information in their answers  Always comment on aspects such as vocabulary, figurative language (e.g. use of metaphor and simile), word ordering and sentence structure, formality/informality of tone, and the communication of attitudes, bias or prejudice, structure  Write for a specific purpose and/or audience using appropriate vocabulary, tone, and style. Part B. Write a section (between 120–150 words) of this article. Base your answer closely on the style and features of the writing in the original extract. [10 marks are available ]

II. ENGLISH LITERATURE Study Guide – Semester 2 12th grade Paper 5 – Drama Novel: As You Like It, by William Shakespeare Understanding Themes:  Love The play focuses on critiquing the artificiality of "courtly" romance and reminds us of the foolishness of assuming the clichéd pose of a "Petrarchan lover"—something that involves a lot of dramatic sighing, sadness, and frustration over an unattainable girl.  Court vs Country On the one hand, the court is a cutthroat place where corruption and family treachery are all too common, while the Forest of Arden is a place of simplicity, freedom, and selfdiscovery for the exiles seeking its refuge. On the other hand, despite its appeal, the forest is only a temporary sanctuary for Shakespeare's characters. In the end, most of the cast return to court, where, presumably, they will make a better place. 2

Gender

When Rosalind flees into the woods for safety, she disguises herself as an attractive young boy, "Ganymede," challenging traditional ideas about what it means to be a man or a woman. Rosalind's gender-bending game of make-believe is complicated even further by the fact that the actor playing the role of "Rosalind" would have been a boy, since women weren't allowed to perform on Shakespeare's public stage. In As You Like It, Shakespeare makes it clear that gender roles can be imitated and performed—in theatre and in real life. Understanding important scenes:  Duke Senior’s speech in the Forest of Arden  Rosalind’s first meeting with Orlando  Orlando’s meetings with Rosalind in the Forest of Arden  Jaques’s melancholic reflection of Man Paper 7 – Unseen Text You must revise and have a clear understanding of the literary techniques taught in class during both semesters. You must be able to establish an understanding of characters, themes, setting and how they shape a play, prose, and poetry.
