MYP 2 Language and Literature deepens analysis of how writers achieve effects and introduces comparison across texts and media.
Students study longer prose works, poetry and drama, and analyse how context shapes a text. Creative writing becomes more controlled, and analytical writing requires a clear line of argument supported by quotation.
The organising criterion becomes more demanding at this level: responses must be structured, cohesive and referenced properly, which is a genuine step up from MYP 1.
Key topics covered
- Analysing TextsLanguage, structure, style and the effect of context on meaning.
