The Columbian Exchange What is the Columbian Exchange? The Columbian Exchange was the widespread transfer of animals, plants, culture, human populations, technology, and ideas between the American and Afro-Eurasian hemispheres in the 15th and 16th English Literature in the second half of the twentieth century „…the impotence of capitalist government in the face of Fascism combined with economic dislocation to turn the majority of young intellectuals (and not only intellectuals) in the 1930s to the political left. The 1930s were the so-called red decade, because only the left seemed to offer any solution in various forms of socialism, communism, and left liberalism.” Norton Most cultures ostracize people who do not fit within their norms. They pressure abnormal people to change their appearance, fix what bothers others, or stay out of sight -- a pressure Leslie Fiedler has named The Tyranny of the Normal. This anthology examines the experiences of those who live outside social norms for attractiveness, size, and shape it also explores the reactions of normal people to those who seem grotesque.  . The KS4 English curriculum endeavours to build on the knowledge and skills our pupils acquire through our KS3 Mastery curriculum. The KS4 curriculum seeks to offer a knowledge-rich and intellectually challenging curriculum that provides our pupils with the knowledge, language, and grammatical skills to converse intelligently and confidently on a wide range of literature. We seek to instil our pupils with a love of reading and writing, in order to be fluent and confident readers, writers and speakers. Through our intertwined English language and Literature curriculum, we seek to empower our pupils; to provide them with the opportunity to develop their ability to think deeply about various concepts; to evaluate ideas and the writers’ craft in fiction and non-fiction texts spanning genres and eras. We aim to develop our pupils’ conceptual knowledge required to understand the literary periods they study, but also develop their ability to link these to significant national and international issues that are relevant to today’s society. By doing this, we create confident, knowledgeable and inspirational global citizens..
