1.6+Unfamiliar+Texts

On this page you will find the Year 11 Language Glossary, lists of terms/techniques and other information to help you with the Close Reading of Unfamiliar Texts section of the examination in Week 9 of this term, and the external examinations. Here it is, if you have lost your copy from the beginning of the year. [|Year 11 Language Glossary.doc] You will need to focus on techniques used in 'Written Texts' e.g novels and short stories, poems or articles and 'Visual Texts'. There will be two written texts and one visual texts. The visual text can be an advertisement, any poster (e.g. film ), a web page, a page from a comic book... anything which uses both 'verbal' and 'visual' features. Here is **another list of verbal and visual features** which will be useful. Some of these techniques/features/ terms, you will be familiar with from creating static images (posters) in Year 9 & 10. Some others you will learn when we undertake our final internal assessment in a few weeks. [|Verbal and Visual language Features.doc] Ask a classmate or put up a question on the 'Discussion' page if there are techniques/terms which you don't know.
