You need to write an analysis that finds meaningful connections between at least four different texts (books, films, articles, images, etc.) and explains why those connections matter. You'll support your ideas with specific evidence from the texts, and your response can be written, spoken, or presented visually—whatever works best for your argument.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
What you actually do
- ·Identify and explain significant connections between texts by examining how they link through shared purposes, audiences, ideas, language features, or structures
- ·Make evaluative judgements about what these connections reveal or mean, rather than just describing what's similar
- ·Support every point you make with specific evidence—quotations, references, or detailed examples from your texts
- ·Ensure at least one of your four texts is chosen by you (not given by your teacher)
- ·Present your response in a form that suits your argument—you can write it, speak it, create a visual presentation, or combine different formats
