BE CURIOUS is a blog designed to provide interesting and relevant resources for any student or teacher of the AQA AS/A2 Literature course. This site will provide links to material that will hopefully generate a more sophisticated understanding of the set texts across the two years of the course but also provide more general material that will explore the function and purpose of Literature in the 21st Century. The material posted will be of specific relevance to our own students but we hope the material will be of interest to ALL Literature students/teachers/enthusiasts.
We will provide links to any relevant print, audio or visual resources that the digital world has to offer and create and upload our own podcasts, visual media and essays.
This blog is designed for our own students and our school follows the AQA GCE Literature syllabus but we hope this blog may be of value to any individual interested, stimulated and engaged by an eclectic range of literary texts. We at BE CURIOUS believe that engaging with Literature can enhance the experience of being alive. Engaging with a text is a form of intellectual self-defence in a world that exploits the intellectually passive and the less curious. Therefore we believe that intellectual curiosity should be encouraged and accepted wisdom challenged. Question everything. BE CURIOUS. Synthesise ideas and formulate your own perception. Literature continues to express ideas that question, challenge, explain, illuminate and confront human behaviour and this questioning is a cerebral quality that we would like to encourage in our students and any visitor to this blog.
If you found the last paragraph confusing, enjoy your Business Studies course.
Welcome to the curious world of BE CURIOUS.
