(DOC), Last Updated: 09 February 2009

At AS 1, students must complete two internally assessed assignments. These account for 40 percent of the marks at AS Level and 20 percent of the marks awarded at A Level.

For AS 1 Section A, students must study closely the text of a Shakespearean play and write a 1,500 word (approx) assignment.

For AS 1 Section B, students must study and compare two plays by a 20th century dramatist. They must then write a 1,500 word (approx) creative, personal, or original response about those works.

More information on the internal assignments, including setting, supervision and moderation of the tasks is available in the specification.
