About the Course:
Language A: literature SSST is similar to the taught course, which is built on the notion of conceptual learning. This means that the course is organized around concepts, or big ideas, which makes it easier to form connections between subjects and between parts of a course. Concepts are important as they are applicable and transferable to real-life situations. In this course, the central concepts are culture, communication, transformation, perspective, creativity, representation and identity. When reading and studying a literary work, you should explore how it relates to these concepts.
This will help to:
• see how the literary works are relevant to your world and your experiences
• make connections between works studied in the course
• make connections with theory of knowledge (TOK), the approaches to learning and international-mindedness
• make connections with other subjects you are studying
• become a flexible and critical reader.
