English and Literature are integrated in Language Art classes for the lower secondary which I am teaching. For example, the Secondary Twos are doing To Kill A Mockingbird, thus apart from learning about symbols and themes, the students examine the Judge’s and Atticus’ speeches to study the features and style of persuasive writing. The Secondary Ones are currently focused on writing narratives, specifically, writing a story using the Future Problem Solving framework. Students also analyse video clips to learn about setting, character, motivation, etc. Students move on to comprehension skills in Term 2, where they will read texts in detail to identify the function of literary devices. To build on the students’ storytelling skills, students will also learn storytelling techniques. Lower secondary students attend philosophy classes as well- they have a few philosophy classes every year for exposure.
