The English Department at Queen Mary has the capacity to offer in-school support sessions for A-level English, delivered by specialists from across the department.
These would be one-hour sessions, tailored to support A-level study, and could focus on a wide range of topics — including, but not limited to, the following:
- Merlin in the Middle Ages
- Legends of London (and/or Britain)
- Medieval King Arthurs
- Write What You Know
- Making Rules / Breaking Rules
- A range of topics in American literature
- An introduction to literary theory
- Topics related to 19th-century Gothic fiction (depending on curriculum)
- 20th–21st-century poetry
- Fiction and/or poetry concerned with gender, sexuality, and LGBT+ cultures
- 18th–19th-century poetry (e.g. Blake, Shelley, Keats)
These in-school visits could then be followed by on-campus experiences, giving students the opportunity to take part in real university-style lectures, meet student ambassadors, and take part in campus tours, helping them gain insight into university study and progression.
If this is something that would be of interest to you or your students, we would be very happy to discuss possible topics and formats.
