Remembered Places: Paris Anthology
infoWhy this? The anthology introduces students to diverse spoken, written and multimodal texts connected by representations of Paris. It develops their understanding of how language constructs place, people, events and viewpoints, while exploring genre, audience, purpose, mode and context. Its variety makes it an effective bridge between linguistic analysis and literary interpretation.
scheduleWhy now? Following the language-level unit allows students to apply their new analytical vocabulary immediately across accessible, contrasting texts. As Paper 1’s closed-book section, it benefits from sustained study and regular retrieval throughout the course. Teaching it early also establishes key ideas about representation, narrative and perspective that support later work on The Handmaid’s Tale and Heaney.
