Elective 1: Representing People and Politics
In this elective, students explore and evaluate various representations of people and politics in their prescribed text and other related texts of their own choosing. They consider the ways in which texts represent individual, shared or competing political perspectives, ideas, events or situations. Students analyse representations of people’s political motivations and actions, as well as the impact political acts may have on individual lives or society more broadly. In their responding and composing, students develop their understanding of how the relationship between various textual forms, media of production and language choices influences and shapes meaning.
Students choose one of the following texts as the basis of their further exploration of the representations of people and politics.
~ House of Cards ? TV Show
~All the King’s Men (1949)
~All The President’s Men (1976)
I'll get back to you with other related texts but have a look at these ones..
