​MYP Language and Literature 
Years 2 and 3

Years 2 and 3 will be in a combined class with two sections A and B. In Module 1 students will ask the question: How does society both support and limit the development of identity? by exploring the daily lives of a wide range of medieval Europeans from lords and ladies to peasants, poachers, and pilgrims. Students will focus on identity and character and the impact of society on both. 

Students will read Castle Diary by Platt; The Midwife's Apprentice by Cushman, and sections of The Canterbury Tales.
