Flash fiction

To complement PhilpotNew U1.10 Short stories and novels

Definition: a type of fiction characterized by being very short, typically consisting of only a few hundred words.

* Can fall under any genre, although the more common genres include romance, thrillers, horror, sci-fi and fanfiction.

* Brief- compresses an entire story into the space of a few paragraphs. The average word count ranges anywhere from five to 1,500 words, but the consensus is that the maximum tops out at 2,000.

* Despite its briefness, it has a complete plot and still offers character as well as plot development. 

* Has few characters.

* Often incorporates surprise, usually in the form of a twist ending or an unexpected last line.

* Tends to be published in anthologies, journals, and collections.

* The aim of flash fiction is to prompt the reader to think deeply about the true meaning of the story.

Example: https://www.fridayflashfiction.com/100-word-stories/the-end-by-mary-wallace

It lay on the bed; its red cover stupidly declaring its name, as if the fact that it usually lay hidden in a locked drawer wasn't enough to proclaim its purpose.

Life had been different lately. She was bored; she could no longer tolerate his gentleness, and yet his quiet integrity was the thing that had once attracted her.

Marie watched through the keyhole as he replaced the journal back into its drawer unopened. How much easier if he'd opened it and read her message.

Damn his honesty, she thought, I'll have to end it in person.

Belief and values: Beauty (work in progress)

Task: Discuss what beauty is for you with your classmates.

Put your ideas about what it is in poem form. Share. 

An example by me:

From dawn to sunset

Beauty is what beauty does

Lends a helping hand

© Erika

Lines of inquiry

How are social constructs of beauty and gender created and communicated? (factual)

To what degree does one's cultural perspective shape one's understanding of gender and beauty? (conceptual) 

To what degree do media platforms have a responsibility to communicate healthy constructs of beauty? (debatable)

Beauty standards through history: https://www.scienceofpeople.com/beauty-standards/ (3:09)

Is beauty in the average? (read this and some related texts from the same site):

Ugly = the new pretty: https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2006/7/21/ugly-is-the-new-pretty-bologna/

Vocabulary to talk about beauty: NB! Not every word is formal enough for using in IB assignments

https://boompositive.com/blogs/positivethesaurus/words-to-describe-beauty-synonyms

https://www.words-to-use.com/words/beauty/ (Discuss the quotes :) )

TED talks about beauty: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=TED+beauty

Task (portfolio and presentation and blog): Choose one TED talk on beauty (not to same as any of your classmates), watch it and make a short presentation to class (including presenter, specific topic, main points they make and ideas they put forth + examples, specialist terms, your own opinion of the issue, anything else you deem worthwhile).

See the document (on Tera) on summarising to help you with language choices. 

In addition, make a blog post on it (incl. link to where it can be watched, main idea, GI). It could be in the same blog post with your explanation of what beauty is.

To complement PhilpotNew Unit 2.3

Discuss it in detail, make sure you know all the vocabulary and key concepts.

Treat every text as a possibility to practice for Paper 1, i.e. detailed annotation and thinking of a possible guiding question to go with it (if the book has not suggested one). After annotating on your own, discuss with some classmates to pool your ideas. Balance-wise, pay a bit more attention to non-literary texts than literary ones. Save annotations in your portfolio.

Every time you go off the book to read / research something online (as directed by a task in the book, or me, or because of your own interests), share useful / interesting findings on the blog.

Set yourself homework at the end of each discussion lesson (unless the teacher has given you something specific to do). Each time include something that could and should be presented to the whole class the next time.

See which parts of PhilpotNew U2.3 Beauty the following might go together with:

* Same topic, different ways of presenting. What are the advantages and disadvantages of presenting an issue in such ways? Who might be the intended audience? 

How would you word a global issue here?

PhilpotNew Task 3.12 rewritten for small groups (do NOT go there unless instructed to do so)

* Read the intro and point a (PhilpotNew p 135 Towards assessment).

* Go to Chapter 8 and read / discuss pp 321-322 (up till the end of Task 8.1).

* Refresh your memory of what is available on the blog in connection with the IO (and where exactly).

* Back to p 135. Read Texts 2.27 and 2.28 quickly, discuss point b, and pick a global issue to concentrate on.

* Annotate both texts, and do point c on your own.

* Instead of point d, share your outlines in your small groups.

* Do points e-j using feedback from your small group members.

* Save everything in your portfolio.

NB! You are not allowed to use the same texts for your real IO that you have used for this kind of practice.

How does this advertisement use written and visual language to ‘speak’ to its reader?

Beliefs and values: Gender, Femininity, Masculinity, Beauty

 To complement PhilpotNew Unit 2

Discuss it in detail, make sure you know all the vocabulary and key concepts.

Treat every text as a possibility to practice for Paper 1, i.e. detailed annotation and thinking of a possible guiding question to go with it (if the book has not suggested one). After annotating on your own, discuss with some classmates to pool your ideas. Balance-wise, pay a bit more attention to non-literary texts than literary ones. Save annotations in your portfolio.

Every time you go off the book to read / research something online (as directed by a task in the book, or me, or because of your own interests), share useful / interesting findings on the blog.

Set yourself homework at the end of each discussion lesson. If you have not done this, follow the teacher's guidelines (but for becoming a self-directed learner, setting your own is more useful).

The language of war

This should support PhilpotNew U4.1 and any war-related texts (incl poems by Duffy)

PhilpotNew pp 208-209: full text of The State of Union Address (George W. Bush, 2003):

https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/address-before-joint-session-the-congress-the-state-the-union-23

Video: https://www.c-span.org/video/?174799-2/2003-state-union-address (the extract in PhilpotNew Text 4.5 is the very beginning of it)

In any case, pay special attention to how words are used to describe war (euphemisms, blunt language, direct statements, hinting, allusion, imagery, metaphors, etc). Look at what type of text it is, and whether the author's choice of vocabulary, sentence patterns,, imagery, etc, is somehow dependent on the genre of the text, who wrote it, when, about which war, etc. Why has the author made such choices?

Graphic novels

This source gives a good overview of what is out there but probably doesn't allow you to read much online: https://libwww.freelibrary.org/explore/topic/graphic-novels
Some things are exceptionally useful, though, e.g. the comics timeline.
Comics can be read here (but beware of some stupid ad blocking your view - seems to be OK when you open the same site twice, it doesn't come up in the second window): https://readcomiconline.to/

NB! If you find a great source of a lone-standing book that is readable online free, or a place where many can be read free, share here :)

Political cartoons BOW

IO, BOWs & GIs: What are they? (Individual Oral, Body of Work, Global Issue - you can consult relevant blog posts)

Political cartoons: work starts now and carries on into both homework and subsequent classwork, and ends up both in your portfolio and presented to class:

* detailed discussion of PhilpotNew U 1.4

* doing the tasks mentioned in my previous blog post on political cartoons

* preparing to curate and present to class a Body of Work (= BOW): a set of about 15 political cartoons by the same author (functioning predominantly in the English language in the English-speaking world or globally) whose work has several Global Issues (= GIs) evident in them.

While presenting, you show the whole set of cartoons to class, tell us about the background to the author, the GIs you have chosen and how they are represented in the author's work, and choose 2 cartoons for looking at in detail in class with concentrating on different aspects, e.g. how symbols have been used, or how words and pictures complement each other, or how the ambience adds to the reception of the cartoons, etc.  You decide which cartoons to concentrate on, and how exactly you do this, and which IB LangLit aims this will help you to achieve.
