If you are NOT coming on the trip on Friday:
You will use the 2.5 hours & 3 hours Homework to write a draft Textual Analysis essay of 750-1000 words using PEAS is due on your films.
Next week (Tomorrows Lesson) you will each present the content of your essay (5 mins)
to the class as a model example - ensure you have the key scenes ready
to play in the room.
To ensure you cover all levels of thinking your presentation should be structured using PEAS.
- You should have a Thesis Statement - your personal argument (eg: the films follow or break the conventional narrative/genre rules, it questions our idea of the Hero for the modern day, it represent men as femininised, it has created a more sucessful style of Horror etc)
- It must examine the MICRO in your key scenes and discuss the significance of creating MACRO meaning (ie: how the camera in Psycho objectified the women sexually to represent her as 'there to be looked at', how the location/props create Genre meaning, how the editing makes the narrative 'jump' around out of sequence or tells 2 stories at once/creates juxtaposition between hero & villain - Batman can;t save both who has to die?)
- Each point must Infer (def: to reason, imply, propose, read into, imply, deduce) meaning to your MACRO (Narrative, Genre etc) study
- You should end with a conclusion
The class will mark your presentation out of 40 using the mark scheme - this will be used as your initial Module grade for your reports this term.
There will be no lesson planned next week - YOU are the Teacher, YOUR content IS the lesson.
