To what extent do you agree with this statement? And then it says something like answer this question in reference to 3 of your prescribed texts. Which I have chosen are, Translucent Jade by Maureen Ten, New Accents by Ouyang Yu and Mother by Vuong Pham :)
Thx, Zoe :)

Hey, zoeeoz18!
So for this question, you will need to explore how the language feature (technique) of symbolism has been used to represent the challenges, tensions and conflicts that emerge from identity and culture. If we are to look at Translucent Jade as an example, you could look at the symbolism of the "gift" used to explore the theme of heritage which inherently has tension due to the poet living in Western society. I would find examples that either show this symbolism or use other techniques to enhance our understanding of the symbolism that lies in the gift of her name. Hope that helps and good luck with the essay!

Hi, i was wondering if you would be able to give me some tips on how to start formulating a multimodal as I am having trouble connecting my ideas (linking them together). How would I structure a multimodal?
Thanks

Hey, slothologist!
Great question! Think of your multimodal just as another speech except you also have to create a funky presentation to accompany it. The best place to start is to review the question you've been given by your teacher and gather all your textual evidence to use for it. Treat it pretty much like any other essay you would do. What I would then do is write up the transcript for the presentation. Once you know what you're planning to say, you'll be able to make the slides more effectively!
As for some tips for the presentation itself, think about how you want to represent your ideas within the presentation itself. Maybe you'll have the colour scheme reflecting the mood of your text, you'll have animations to illustrate the transition from one idea/theme to the next between slides etc. This is how you can differentiate your presentation from the next guy's because you're thinking like a composer yourself! Hopefully that helps but if you would like more direction, let me know what your question is!

Hi,
About the introduction of a multimodal, I am a little confused about the structure of the introduction: From what I have been doing is starting off with a conceptual statement, and then introducing the text (a sentence of how the text relates to the question), and then three sentences of the ideas/themes that show HOW they relate to the question and that they are going to be talked about in the following three body paragraphs.
I watched your lecture this morning and it was really fun and engaging, but I just wanted to ask about your example of an introduction for Module A, where you listed the themes (power, prejudice and ownership) but didn't explain how it relates to the question....unless I didn't read it properly.
I wasn't sure if I should list the themes, or explain them because I was told that you had to show how it relates to the question.
My question (statement) is : The Castle is more than just a comical film that serves to entertain the audiences. Discuss this statement.
Thanks :)
