Description
This SS1 Literature-in-English Scheme of Work 2026 turns the revised curriculum into a usable weekly teaching sequence for First, Second and Third Terms. The content here is specific to Literature-in-English: representative areas include Genres of Literature, Point of View and Great Expectations By Charles Dickens: Themes in the Novel.
