Description of activity
Students create an imaginative visual representation (A3 poster size) of the ideas or issues of the text or module they have been studying. They then write a critical, interpretive analysis of about 600 words explaining how their representation reflects the ideas or issues of the text or module.
Context
Students have completed a close critical study of a text or module and have identified and discussed the key ideas or issues and how they have been explored by the composer. They have an understanding of language forms and features and structures of written analytical texts. They also have experience in composing and analysing visual representations.
Areas for Assessment
Outcomes
A student:
6. experiments with different ways of imaginatively and interpretively transforming experience, information and ideas into texts
7. thinks critically and interpretively using information, ideas and increasingly complex arguments to respond to and compose texts in a range of contexts
8. investigates the relationships between and among texts
Criteria for assessing learning
Students will be assessed on their ability to:
- identify and explain key ideas or issues in a text or module
- compose and edit a coherent written critical analysis of their visual representation which includes:
- interpretation of content and ideas of the text or module
- structure, language forms and features appropriate to a critical analysis
- close reference to the links between the visual representation and text or module studied.
