  1. let’s practise…Critical ‘Text’ Analysis Kate Elliott New Era International Bilingual Secondary School ‘Off Campus’ session – scheduled for: June 20, 2013

  2. Today’s Objectives Knowledge: -To use Kate’s critical ‘BOLTSS’ model to discuss the subject matter contained by a picture, a policy document, a poem, OR a song. Skills: -Critical analysis -Informal, written response Values: -Respect and value opinions and perceptions which differ from your own EMAIL YOUR RESPONSE TO: newerapedagogy@gmail.com in-lieu of attending class on Thursday (20/6/13), as I (Kate) will be absent.

  3. The BOLTSS of Critical Analysis BORDER – what’s in the picture/song/article, and what’s left out? ORIENTATION – who’s the intended audience? LEGEND – who signifies / acts as a symbol for what? TITLE – any hints about the author’s objective?SOURCE – who produced, directed, wrote, etc. the piece? SCALE (if relevant) – how widely might this text be dispersed?

  4. Now, browse the following ‘texts’ and analyse ONE of them (e.g. one of the songs) using BOLTSS, with reference De Bono Hats thinking styles, or another model of your choice. You may choose to try to frame your answer using ‘TEEL’ or ‘PEEL’ models for response writing (i.e. topic sentence, then explanation, then evidence, then linking sentence that leads into the next paragraph…)

  10. Stop All the Clocks, Cut off the Telephone By W. H. Auden Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,Silence the pianos and with muffled drumBring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overheadScribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West,My working week and my Sunday rest,My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.For nothing now can ever come to any good.
