What do we need to do?
This module is a comparative study of text. The pair of texts you will study either retell or reframe ideas of another narrative. This module expects students to examine what the texts have in common and how they differ through content, themes/ideas and constructions.3 key questions to answer:
What
similarity and differences? Resonances and dissonances:- How might the texts mirror, align or collide with the details of another text
- Issues, themes, values (beliefs and moral/ethical positions), assumptions(assumed knowledge of audience), perspectives (of the subject matter)
How
do the texts show the similarities and differences?- Techniques
- Intertextuality -allusion, symbols/motifs, quotation
- Conventions
- Structure
Why
are there similarities and differences?- How the composers are influenced by other texts, contexts and values
- Context:
- Historical context
- Geographical context
- Cultural and religious context
- Social context
- Personal context
Assessment – What will be the final product?
Potential forms::
