LITERATURE IN ENGLISH SET BOOKS FOR SENIOR THREE (3), 2023

The Ministry of Education and Sports through NCDC, rolled out the competence based curriculum in 2020. The New Curriculum Menu resulted in the re- organisation of the specific subject content, teaching methodology and assessment modalities. Accordingly, this re-organisation brought about the reduction in the number of Literature in English set books to be studied by learners for the Lower Secondary cycle. Although the current set books are still running (2020-2025), there is need to guide the teachers on how to select the preferred text per genre, from the prescribed list. The current texts on the list of the set books are:

Section A:

Either: Francis Imbuga: The Return of Mgofu (Play)

Or. William Shakespeare: The Merchant of Venice (Play)

Either: John Steinbeck: The Pearl (Novel)

Or: Lawrence Darmani: Grief Child (Novel)
