Module

Description:

In this module, students strengthen and extend their knowledge, skills and confidence as accomplished writers. Students write for a range of audiences and purposes using language to convey ideas and emotions with power and precision. Students appreciate, examine and analyse at least two short prescribed texts as well as texts from their own wide reading, as models and stimulus for the development of their own complex ideas and written expression. They evaluate how writers use language creatively and imaginatively for a range of purposes; to express insights, evoke emotion, describe the wonder of the natural world, shape a perspective or to share an aesthetic vision. Through the study of enduring, quality texts of the past as well as recognised contemporary works, students appreciate, analyse and evaluate the versatility, power and aesthetics of language. Through considered appraisal and imaginative engagement with texts, students reflect on the complex and recursive processes of writing to further develop their self-expression and apply their knowledge of textual forms and features in their own sustained and cohesive compositions.

DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES

PART A:Using an idea from Stimulus OneORTwo, plan, draft, edit and submit an imaginative, discursive or persuasive response that reflects a unique narrative voice. (12 marks)

Stimulus One:

It had been a clear, cold June morning, full of bowerbird calls. The pencil-thin crescent of a new moon curled low in the muted sky. Crisp winter light filled the market hall. The air was rich with aromas of black coffee and freshly baked bread. Emily, the bookshop owner, was in the middle of setting up a display of antique editions of fairytales. Shed paused to blow into the cup of her hands to warm them when the woman had arrived and caught her eye. Her skin was sallow, though still young. Her hair hung over her face in lacklustre knots.

Holly Ringland,The Market Seller

OR

Stimulus Two:

Jason Gallagher,I think in Movies

PART B:Evaluate how Part A reflects a unique narrative voice and consider how it was influenced by one of the provided stimulus. Additionally, you should draw on what you have learned about language through referencing at least ONE prescribed text from Module C. (8 marks)

The Hints:

? The word count for this task is 1000. It needs to be split in a balanced way across both parts of the task commensurate with the mark allocation (Part A: 700 words; Part B: 300 words)

? Think carefully about what you have learnt in this module it is about thecraftof writing. Think, plan, draft and EDIT.

? This is not a first draft response. There should be no careless errors.

? In your evaluation/reflection, you must make reference to either stimulus one or two and at least ONE of the prescribed texts you have explored in Module C.

? You have had the opportunity to work independently and collaboratively to reflect, refine and strengthen their own skills in producing highly crafted imaginative, discursive, persuasive and informative texts. Do not discount these opportunities. Refer to class notes to help develop your responses.Please note: there will be no class time dedicated to this task.
