Fabulous photo project by Rene Türk

BOW 

This is in downtown Tartu :)

Things to look for and discuss:
What kind of GIs does this illustrate?
Analyse at least one as you would analyse a photo, and one as you would analyse an advert.
How would you talk about it if the focus is on the GI?
Find out more about the artist.

What kind of poems by Carol Ann Duffy could you connect this to (through the topic and any GI)?

Write the introductory 1-minute introduction to this BOW as if you were using it for your IO.

This should end up in your portfolio. A document with the photos is also available on Tera.

Some social awareness campaigns:
https://art-sheep.com/25-of-the-most-clever-and-powerful-social-awareness-campaigns/

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

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):

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?

Teaching others: The World's Wife

Teaching presentation of ~15 min each.

Specific poems in this order (the person whose name is there is responsible for the presentation but they can ask one other person to help them in this (but not do their work for them)).

Queen Herod (Steven)

Circe (Anastasia)

Mrs Lazarus (Frederik)

Pygmalion's Bride (Timo)

    Bonus: Mrs Icarus

Salome (Timo)

Penelope (Steven)

Delilah (Anastasia)

Frau Freud (Frederik)

Look at it from (at least) two viewpoints: 

* as if this were your chosen IO text (Global Issue! + reference to the same global issue in other poems by Carol Ann Duffy)

* what kind of non-lit text would treat the same topic (that could be used for Paper 1 practice)

* what kind of Body of Work (non-literary) could be connected to this via the Global Issue

NB! In addition to teaching, create a blog post with the most salient points and any suitable links.

Beliefs and values: Gender, Femininity, Masculinity, Beauty

Campaign: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/jun/10/campaign-a-poem-by-carol-ann-duffy-exclusively-for-the-guardian

Carol Ann Duffy wrote this poem in response to the 2017 general election result, a result that took almost everyone by surprise, not least Theresa May, the subject of Duffy"s piece. The poem is short and comprised mostly of metaphors.

Metaphor is the comparison of two concepts through language, often done by using the verb 'to be'.  Metaphor is often seen as a literary device used by poets. Metaphors, however, can be found in every day speech and images.

School- and education-related poems

Document of the same name on Tera with most of them in it:)
Annotate the following poems (sources give you poems online plus some analysis). Do not go to online analyses until you have done your own annotation.

Also think of the following: What do you identify as the predominant aspects of this text? Consider aspects that are more abstract than textual / literary features, e.g. tensions, conflicts, ironies, ideas, etc.

Task: Read and annotate (individually, or in pairs or in small groups), and create a blog post on your chosen poem, adding links to useful sources, and a plan on the most insightful things to talk about when analysing it, plus what global issue(s) you could connect this to. It would be especially lovely if you could think of a non-lit BOW ...

You will have to present this blog to your classmates, and write an analysis of it for your portfolio, and prepare 1-2 pages of it so it could be used as Paper 1 practice in class.

2 documents in Tera in the How-to folder

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.

Global issues?

 Sustainable development goals

Read: https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/

Task: Pick one goal that is close to your heart, and find a body of work that would help you towards understanding how this issue is covered in media. Post it on the blog.

Body of work:  entirety of the creative or academic output produced by a particular individual or unit. --> In IB: a set works of the same genre by the same authorship, preferably (at least partly) thematically connected.

Global issues: https://clearingmagazine.org/archives/979

(See also PhilpotNew Chapter 8: The Individual Oral = IO p 321)
