Representation
This scheme explores how groups in society are represented in texts. It draws on all of the previous concepts to develop a more mature understanding that every text is a representation of reality.
Key text: Othello by William Shakespeare and otherness in other Shakespeare texts. This text allows us to explore representation using a range of examples as well as building students' understanding of and confidence with Shakespearean texts. We also explore themes of jealousy and betrayal.

Structure
Students will have encountered these terms already but this scheme will allow for a more in-depth exploration of how different forms create different kinds of experience for audiences. We also look at how sequencing relates to meaning, and how writers make choices about what to focus on or draw attention to in a text.
Key text: Heroes by Robert Cormier.
