We have designed this specification to meet the requirements of: • Northern Ireland GCSE Design Principles; • Northern Ireland GCE and GCSE Qualifications Criteria; and • Subject Criteria and Requirements for English. First teaching is from September 2017. We will make the first award based on this specification in Summer 2019. This specification is a unitised course. The guided learning hours, as for all our GCSEs, are 120 hours. The specification supports the aim of the Northern Ireland Curriculum to empower young people to achieve their potential and to make informed and responsible decisions throughout their lives, as well as its objectives: • to develop the young person as an individual; • to develop the young person as a contributor to society; and • to develop the young person as a contributor to the economy and environment. If there are any major changes to this specification, we will notify centres in writing. The online version of the specification will always be the most up to date; to view and download this please go to www.ccea.org.uk Version 3: 02 May 2018 3 CCEA GCSE English Literature from September 2017 1.1 Aims This specification aims to encourage students to: • become critical readers of prose, drama and poetry; • develop the ability to analyse the impact of language, structure and form in a range of texts; • connect ideas, themes and issues in a range of texts; • explore contexts and experience different times, cultures, viewpoints and situations in texts; and • read for enjoyment and nurture a lifelong love of literature. 1.2 Key features The following are important features of this specification. • It offers opportunities to build on the skills and capabilities developed through the delivery of the Northern Ireland Curriculum at Key Stage 3. • It is a unitised specification, allowing students flexibility in preparing for assessment; students can enter for a unit when they are ready to be assessed and can resit each unit individually. • It allows students to study English Literature and related subjects at a more advanced level and to develop the skills they need to progress to employment. • Students can use texts that they are studying for GCSE English Literature as the stimulus for GCSE English Language controlled assessment tasks. 1.3 Prior attainment This specification builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills developed through the statutory requirements for the following areas of Key Stage 3 in the Northern Ireland Curriculum: • Language and Literacy: English with Media Education; and • The Arts: Drama at Key Stage 3. Students do not need to have reached a particular level of attainment before beginning to study this specification. 1.4 Classification codes and subject combinations Every specification has a national classification code that indicates its subject area. The classification code for this qualification is 5110. Please note that if a student takes two qualifications with the same classification code, schools, colleges and universities that they apply to may take the view that they have achieved only one of the two GCSEs. The same may occur with any two GCSE qualifications that have a significant overlap in content, even if the classification codes are different. Because of this, students who have any doubts about their subject combinations should check with the schools, colleges and universities that they would like to attend before beginning their studies.

    Metamorphosis: from Light Verse to the Poetry of Witness by Maxine Kumin from the Georgia Review, Winter 2012

    Metamorphosis: From Light Verse to the Poetry of Witness by Maxine Kumin from The Georgia Review, Winter 2012 How did I become a very old poet, and a polemicist at that? In the Writers Chronicle of December 2010 I described myself as largely self-educated. In an era before creative writing classes became a staple of the college curriculum, I was "piecemeal poetry literate"—in love with Gerard Manley Hopkins and A. E. Housman, an omnivorous reader across the centuries of John Donne and George Herbert, Randall Jarrell and T. S. Eliot. I wrote at least a hundred lugubrious romantic poems. One, I remember, began When lonely on an August night I lie Wide-eyed beneath the mysteries of space And watch unnumbered pricks of dew-starred sky Drop past the earth with quiet grace ... Deep down I longed to be one of the tribe but I had no sense of how to go about gaining entry. I had already achieved fame in the narrow confines of my family for little ditties celebrating birthdays and other occasions, but I did not find this satisfying. There were no MFAs in poetry that I knew of except for the famous Iowa Writers' Workshop, founded in 1936; certainly there was nothing accessible to a mother of two, pregnant with her third child in 1953 in Newton, Massachusetts. I have noted elsewhere that I chafed against the domesticity in which I found myself. I had a good marriage and our two little girls were joyous elements in it. But my discontent was palpable; I did not yet know that a quiet revolution in thinking was taking place.

    At the Intersection of Poetry and a High School English Class: 9th Graders‟ Participation in Poetry Reading Writing Workshop and the Relation to Social and Academic Identities‟ Development DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Susan Koukis Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Anna Soter, Advisor George Newell Mollie Blackburn Terry Hermsen Copyright by Susan Koukis 2010 Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine whether “marginalized” (Moje, Young, Readence, & Moore 2000) 9th grade students in a low-level, tracked English class perceived themselves as more successful students in English class after participating in a 10-week Poetry Reading Writing Workshop. A second purpose was to determine whether their knowledge of poetry terms and concepts such as metaphor, and subsequent performance on the poetry sections of standardized tests improved. My nested case study focused on 19 students in a low-level 9th grade English class. As the practitioner researcher, I conducted in- depth research with six focus students chosen through purposeful sampling. I collected data over the course of three months, using the types of instruments most common to case study research. Data analysis for my nested case study was ongoing and recursive between field work and reflection. Data were coded for patterns that represented categories pertaining to my research questions and coding was refined as I gathered and re-read additional data sources. The findings revealed that students learn better, and are more engaged when they have choices (Atwell, 1998; Lauscher, 2007).

  • Poetry: Why? Even Though a Poem May Be Short, Most of the Time You Can’T Read It Fast

    Poetry: Why? Even Though a Poem May Be Short, Most of the Time You Can’T Read It Fast

    2.1. Poetry: why? Even though a poem may be short, most of the time you can’t read it fast. It’s like molasses. Or ketchup. With poetry, there are so many things to take into consideration. There is the aspect of how it sounds, of what it means, and often of how it looks. In some circles, there is a certain aversion to poetry. Some consider it outdated, too difficult, or not worth the time. They ask: Why does it take so long to read something so short? Well, yes, it is if you are used to Twitter, or not used to poetry. Think about the connections poetry has to music. Couldn’t you consider some of your favorite lyrics poetry? 2Pac, for example, wrote a book of poetry called The Rose that Grew from Concrete. At many points in history across many cultures, poetry was considered the highest form of expression. Why do people write poetry? Because they want to and because they can… (taking the idea from Federico García Lorca en his poem “Lucía Martínez”: “porquequiero, y porquepuedo”) You ask yourself: Why do I need to read poetry? Because you are going to take the CLEP exam. Once you move beyond that, it will be easier. Some reasons why we write/read poetry: • To become aware • To see things in a different way • To put together a mental jigsaw puzzle • To move the senses • To provoke emotions • To find order 2.2. Poetry: how? If you are not familiar with poetry, you should definitely practice reading some before you take the exam.
  • The Queer Dialectic of Whitman's Nation: 'Let' in “Respondez,”

    The Queer Dialectic of Whitman's Nation: 'Let' in “Respondez,”

    václav paris The Queer Dialectic of Whitman’s Nation: “Let” in “Respondez” Let the Asiatic, the African, the European, the American, and the Australian, go armed against the murderous stealthiness of each other! Let them sleep armed! Let none believe in good will! Walt Whitman, “Poem of the Proposition of Nakedness,” 1856 riginally published as “poem of the proposi- Otions of Nakedness” in 1856, then without a title in 1860, the poem that we know as “Respondez” only appeared as such in the 1867 and 1871–72 Leaves of Grass. If, as Sam Abrams claims, “Respondez” is “a poem widely regarded as the most important in the entire Whitman corpus” then it occupies a strangely marginal position in that corpus (32).1 Easily overlooked because of its exclusion from the first and final editions, the poem is better known to a few critics of Whitman than it is to a general readership.2 It is probably best known to other poets— and is, ironically, more often printed in anthologies and selections than “complete” editions of Leaves of Grass.3 “Respondez” clearly stands out, although theories of why are not forthcoming. Louis Zukofsky famously wrote that it was “Whitman’s greatest poem,” quoting the work in its entirety but without further comment at the end of Prepositions+ (218–21).4 Likewise in 1947 Wil- liam Carlos Williams claimed it as exemplary of “a new formal necessity touching all verse” (qtd. in Abrams 32), going on to read twenty-five lines of the poem also without further comment. In not commenting, Zukofsky and Williams alert us to its slipperiness, for quoting “Respon- dez” is far easier than offering an interpretation or capturing it within a general framework.
  • Thomas Merton's Projected Anthology of Religious Poetry

    Thomas Merton's Projected Anthology of Religious Poetry

    20 Thomas Merton's Projected Anthology of Religious Poetry By Patrick F. O'Connell During the summer of 194 l, having fini shed his fust year teaching English at St. Bonaventure College, Thomas Merton was busy about many things: he was working on his novel, Journal of My Escape from the Nazis, writing numerous poems, keeping two versions of his journal. reading Dante, Lorca and Graham Greene, teaching a summer school bibliography course, spending two weeks working at Catherine de Hueck's Friendship House in Harlem, worrying about the war, thinking about the Trappists. 1 In the midst of all this activity he also managed Lo find time for another project, one that reflected his own deepening interest, as writer and reader, in religious verse. On July 27, he records in his journal: I think of making an Anthology of Poems, Religious or nearly Religious. So far I have got Donne's "Hymn to Christ at the Author"s Last Going into Gennany," "At the Round Earth's Imagin'd Comers," ·'Nocturnal on Saint Lucy's Day," "'What If This Present were the World 's Last Night?," and Herbert's "Aaron" and Vaughan's "The Seed Growing Secretly" and Hopkins' "Felix Randal." Also Tthink Hopkins' "Leaden and Golden Echo" - "Bugler's First Communion,.. "Candle indoors."' "Wreck of the Deutschlancf' and despair poems. Then Blake's ·'How Sweet I Roamed," "Lillie Girl Lost.'' "Auguries of Innocence." '·Mental Traveler." ''Holy Thursday" (Innocence), a lot more Vaughan (e.g., "Night"). plenty Traherne - Southwell's " Burning Babe."' ln all maybe 150 poems - or half that- 75 would be a better number (RM 380-8 1).

Grahn's early work weaves in minimal references to Venus and Jason, she soon progresses to focusing on the myth of Helen of Troy--and all her incantations--to create a book of poems to instruct and unite womankind in the hope that her poetical work will lay the foundation for a spiritual and psychological transformation.

Jimmie Killingsworth Janet McCann Eduardo Espina Head of Department, M. Jimmie Killingsworth May 2011 Major Subject: English iii ABSTRACT Double Helix. (May 2011) Jeffrey David Stumpo, BA, Illinois Wesleyan University; MA, College of Liberal Arts Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Paul Christensen Double Helix approaches the conjunction of visual poetry and long poetry from two distinct but related viewpoints. The first is a scholarly examination of the techniques used to make a long poem visual or a visual poem long. The second is a production of an original long visual poem exhibiting these techniques. The first part, ―The Look of the Long Poem,‖ posits that there are five major techniques which are used in long visual poems: line breaks, imagetexts, white space, page division, and collage and montage. These techniques are grounded in the theoretical work of, among others, Katherine O’Brien O’Keeffe, W.J.T Mitchell, Marjorie Perloff, and Johanna Drucker. The techniques are examined in detail as they play out in the work of Anne Carson, David Daniels, Christine Wertheim, Johanna Drucker, Langston Hughes, Ed Dorn, Lisa Jarnot, and Tom Phillips.

I systematically traverse these poems, beginning with the writings ascribed to Vergil in the biography of Donatus (i.e. the Culex, the Ciris, the Lydia, the Dirae, the Catalepton poems, and the Priapeia poems); followed by those added in the biography of Servius (i.e. the Aetna, and the Copa); and finally the remaining works transmitted in the biographical tradition and also those remaining in the so-called “Appendix Vergiliana” (i.e. the “Ballista” epigram, Vergil’s epitaph, the pre-proem to the Aeneid, Elegiae in Maecenatem, and the “Helen Episode” from the Aeneid). These poems were probably written by different authors, in different time periods, and across different genres. They nevertheless display a concatenation of similar topoi. Most previous scholarship in this area has focused on issues of authorship, and when scholars have addressed the purely poetic aspects of these works, they have done so by focusing on individual poems.
