  1. MODULE CREPRESENTATION AND TEXT PLENARY CONFLICTING PERSPECTIVES JUSTICE GAME – ROBERTSON

  2. MODULE C: Representation and Text (from the syllabus) This module requires students to explore various representations of events, personalities or situations. They evaluate how medium of production, textual form, perspective and choice of language influence meaning. The study develops students’ understanding of the relationships between representation and meaning.

  3. Elective 1: Conflicting Perspectives(from the prescriptions list) In their responding and composing, students consider the ways in which conflicting perspectives on events, personalities or situations are represented in their prescribed text and other related texts of their own choosing. Students analyse and evaluate how acts of representation, such as the choice of textual forms, features and language, shape meaning and influence responses.

In summary – rubric requires: • How conflicting perspectives are represented through an event, personality and/or situation. • How the act of representation – the form, medium of production and language - is shaped by the experiences, purpose and perspective of the composer. • The ideas that are conveyed through the representation of the conflicting perspectives.
