Literature-in-English

AI prompts for senior secondary learners.

More than one set-text list, on purpose

WAEC, NECO and NERDC prescribe set texts that change from session to session, and schools do not all follow the same list in the same year. So this subject covers several — Harvest of Corruption, Faceless, To Kill a Mockingbird, So the Path Does Not Die, Once Upon an Elephant, An Inspector Calls, Redemption Road and The Marriage of Anansewa among the plays and novels, with the prescribed poems alongside them. Work to the list your school is teaching this session and ignore the rest: meeting a text here is not a sign that it is on your paper. Use the year filter and the topic chips to find yours, and check your school's current list if you are not sure.
