Starting Assignment 3

Assignment 3 is an assessment of Writing and Reading skills.  Unlike Assignment 2 there is an additional 10 marks available for a candidates ability to infer and interpret information from a text.

We've started with graffiti and vandalism.  To what extent are the following images vandalism of graffiti (art).  What does it take to make the graffiti purposeful - consideration of audience?  Consideration of image?  Consideration of message?






For Assignment 3 only, the following reading assessment objectives are tested (10 marks):

R1 demonstrate understanding of explicit meanings
R2 demonstrate understanding of implicit meanings and attitudes
R3 analyse, evaluate and develop facts, ideas and opinions.

 
The candidate should explain the views presented in the text(s), develop any ideas of interest and argue with or against them, examining them for inconsistencies and substituting complementary or opposingviews.

 
The assignment may be written in any appropriate form (e.g. an article, a letter, or the words of a
speech), but teachers must make sure that Assignment 3 does not have the same form and style as
Assignment 1 in the final portfolio.
