What four elements does Criterion 1 ask you to relate to meaning?
Language, purpose, context and audience: explain how each shapes the meaning of a text and how they influence one another.
What is the difference between the context of creation and the context of reception?
Creation is the situation in which the composer made the text; reception is the situation of the reader or viewer who responds to it.
Name three kinds of context that influence response.
Personal context (age, experience, values), social context (family, friends, community) and cultural context (language, traditions, beliefs).
Why should you use tentative language when stating a text's purpose?
Purpose is often open to debate, so words such as 'appears to' or 'suggests' show that your claim is an interpretation supported by evidence.
What are the three broad kinds of text studied in Module 1?
Imaginative, persuasive and interpretive texts, all representing the same elective idea or issue.
What is metalanguage?
The precise technical vocabulary used to discuss language and texts, such as metaphor, tricolon, salience or first-person narration.
Mode or medium: a podcast?
A podcast is a medium. Its main modes are spoken language and audio (music and sound effects).
What does salience mean in a visual text?
The element that stands out and draws the viewer's eye first, often through size, colour, light or position.
What are the three Module 1 minimum work requirements?
One multimodal presentation, one analytical/interpretive essay and one imaginative response, all set and assessed by your school.
How do you show you have left words out of a quotation?
Use an ellipsis (…). Use square brackets for any words you change or add.
What does 'question responses' mean?
Examine why you and others react to a text as you do, and how readers with different contexts might respond differently.
What does Criterion 4 element 4 (design and evaluation) ask of you?
To explain and assess your own choices of mode, structure and technical features in an oral or multimodal text.
How many texts are studied in Module 2, and who chooses?
One short text, self-selected by the student through negotiation with the teacher.
List the six components the course suggests a negotiated study proposal might include.
Topic, resources, timeframes, goals, products and assessment details.
When is Module 2 recommended to be delivered?
Last, after the other modules; the school decides the order.
Name five suitable short text types for the negotiated study.
Any five of: song, poem, music video, short fiction, short film, political cartoon, TED-style talk, essay, editorial.
What length is the Module 2 imaginative response?
750–1000 words, or an equivalent in another form, communicating a similar idea to the original text.
What must support the Module 2 oral presentation?
A multimodal text crafted by the learner, such as slides or a short video, and it must engage classmates.
What are the six lenses for analysing the chosen text?
Purpose, context of creation, context of reception, audience, language, and mode and medium.
How should you explain a text's success?
Connect it to the fit between the issue it treats, its audience, its medium and its moment, using evidence of reception.
