Income inequality further input and food for thought 

Working with extracts to compare and contrast 

Choosing your The Great Gatsby extract to use in your mock IO 

All this work to be completed by 25th March and uploaded to your portfolio

Welcome

Does Economic Inequality Harm Individuals and Societies?

We now turn our attention to another TED talk. This time, the talk is given by Richard Wilkinson. Professor Wilkinson is, with Professor Kate Pickett, the author of the highly influential (and controversial) book, The Spirit Level: Why Equality is Better for Everyone (2009). 

The title of the book seems to speak for itself.

Make notes while you are watching using the questions on the next slide.

IO mock preparation

Giving feedback and grading an IO 

Preparing for IO

1. Read the extract from The Great Gatsby  attached to this email.

2. Study the image.

3. Use the prompts (following slides) to make an initial analysis of the two texts. 

4. The global issue is 'income inequality' for this practice.

Preparing for the Individual Oral: Generic Prompts for Thinking About Texts and Works

Possible considerations – Ask yourself and record in your OneNote Portfolio under the tab Politics, Power and Justice the following:

- What is the connection between text/extract and the global issue of your choice?

- Why did you choose this text/extract? What is significant about it?

- What connections exist between the text/extract and the wider work you have studied? To what extent is the text/extract typical of the wider work you have studied?

Image 

- Consider content – what is in the image?

- Consider composition – how are the elements in the image framed and

arranged? What techniques or methods has the photographer used? How have lighting, angle, scale and perspective been used? What is in the foreground, middle ground, and background, and what effects does this create?

- Consider context – Where and when was the image taken? Why do you think the photographer took it? Has the photograph been published or exhibited?

- Comment – What does the photograph encourage you to feel and think? What do you feel and think? To what extent do you like or dislike the image?

Prose fiction 

- What happens in the extract? Where does the extract take place? When does the extract take place (consider both narrative time and chronological time)?

- What broader themes and ideas are revealed in the extract?

- Who narrates the extract? What other voices and perspectives do we hear?

- What seems significant about the word choice and the sentence structure?

- What images and motifs are established? What other examples of figurative

language (e.g. simile, hyperbole, and personification) seem to stand out?

- What patterns develop and how do they contribute to meaning?

- How are you encouraged to feel and think? What do you feel and think?

Now let's move on to your preparation for your mock Individual Oral 

Find an extract

Find an extract in The Great Gatsby  that is 40 lines or less that you feel you can link through a global issue that you define to your image. 

It may help to look again at the ideas on slides 3 and 4.

Outline #4

Your teachers have decided that we will use the template #4 to use as the structure for your Mock IO.

Use the outline #4 attached to the email to make a detailed preparatory analysis for your IO. Place this in your OneNote portfolio in the global issue tab that pertains to your choice. 

Also attached to this email is a Lauren Greenfield information sheet which gives contextual information of the images we shared in class. Your image has been taken from one of the eight collections of photographs that Lauren exhibited. It can be very useful to consider which your image comes from for contextual background 

Listen to the IO

During the IO make notes on these: 

What does the student do well? 

What does the student do less well?

What is unclear? 

What requires more detail or expansion? 

 You will be sharing your notes when the IO is complete, so make clear notes. 

What marks would you give the IO?

IO prompt 

“Examine the ways in which the global issue of your choice is presented through the content and form of one of the works and one of the texts you have studied.”

requirements 

Students need to demonstrate the relationship between the textual construction of ideas and the global issue. Students should give roughly equal attention to both of their chosen extracts and text/work as a whole. That is why a body of work is necessary in the study of non-literary texts.
