Is it acceptable to use English Literature prescribed texts which are not being studied for the exam, for Controlled Assessment tasks in Literature and/or Language?
Yes, you can use the texts you are not studying for the examined Literature units, 1 and 2, for the Literature Controlled Assessment task – as long as they meet the heritage requirement. You may choose any text for the Language reading task. For example Animal Farm or Of Mice and Men could be used for Language Unit 4: task 2 The Study of a Literary Text. Animal Farm or The Power and the Glory could also be used as the heritage prose text for Unit 3 Controlled Assessment in Literature.
