Title: Statment of Intention - Context
Post by: charmanderp on August 06, 2012, 09:48:09 pm

Ok, so I have literally nfi how to write one of these. Spoke to my teacher about it and he said I came close to losing a mark on my first context SAC because of my written explanation. Some example would be good.

Also, I'm completely clueless when it comes to using 'metalanguage'.

Here's some stuff from our English site

Guiding Questions — simplified

Which prompt did you choose and how did you interpret it?
How did you tie together your understanding of the context, the prompt and the text?
What considerations led you to write this text? (What are your concerns — reason/logic, perception, gender, religion etc?)
What were your major influences? How did they influence your work? Obviously you have to include the set text (and any additional material from articles, novels, short stories, film, quotes etc.)
Who did you write it for? (Audience)
How does the form complement the theme and ideas?
What is the purpose of your work? (Persuasive, Expository, Imaginative — go beyond 'to entertain')
Why did you structure it as you did? Explain the choice of form and structure.
Describe your choices in terms of structure, form, voice and vocabulary.
