- Paper 2 is based on the part three, literary texts.
- The recorded Individual Oral Commentary is based on the Part 4 Literary Texts.

- All of you must maintain a portfolio of Written Tasks, which are based on all parts of the course. The first type of Written Task (WT 1) is an imaginative piece in which you demonstrate your understanding of the course material by writing a text type other than an essay.
- Besides these creative pieces, you also write critical responses to the texts you have studied in class in light of one of six prescribed questions. These critical responses are as Written Task 2. You will submit 2 Tasks: one based on parts 1 or 2, the other based on parts 3 or 4. One should be a Written Task type 1, the other is a Written Task type 2.
