Here is the rationale:
This unit is structured to elicit student success and to ensure these activities are scaffolded and models are provided. The concepts introduced throughout the course of study are demanding but in the spirit of providing opportunities for students to excel and ultimately engage with each of the texts explored. It is expected that students investigate the ideology and henceforth the politics of each text and grasp the power of composition to challenge and reinforce popular ideals. The key questions, “How are composers’ beliefs and values represented in texts?” and “How are texts used to represent the beliefs and values of the composer?” drive the unit.The unit of work has been created to support and enrich a range of learners in the Stage 4 English classroom and give them an opportunity to work individually and in groups to develop autonomy and the ability to communicate effectively.
The material presented in this unit may be organised in numerous ways to suit a range of time frames and contexts. There is an abundance of activities provided to allow for teacher choice and each learning sequence can be adapted to suit a range of students. All three texts chosen for study give students an opportunity to develop their skills in analysing visual texts whilst exploring context, perspective and ideologies.
