avalinelegato Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 If you're referring to how you can format your written task, here are a few examples: - Opinion column (e.g. your opinion of how pop cultures are a danger to society) - Newspaper article (e.g. a report on an advertisement that portrays stereotypes negatively) - Writing a political speech, or even an opinion article in response to the political speech - Blog post (e.g. a rant on your blog about your anger towards a product that stereotypes a particular society in a negative light) - Interview (e.g. your interview with a professor about political campaigns) - Eulogy (I've never seen anything like this, but possibly an eulogy on how pop culture or a stereotype is "dead") - An email conversation (e.g. you can show an email conversation between two people holding different sides of an argument) - etc. Be creative with your ideas! My teacher used to suggest that we try to follow closely the format of our written task by "decorating" it- so for example, if we are writing a newspaper article, we can try to incorporate the template into our written task as well (so have the title of the newspaper, the font, the layout, etc.) You don't get points for how nicely you "decorate" your written task, but apparently it can give a good impression for the examiner. Of course, don't spend too much time "decorating" it- the main focus should still always be the written content. If you are referring to what you can write in your written task, then I suggest you choose which topic you would like to write on- so choose whether you want to write about textual bias, stereotypes, popular cultures or language and campaigns. From there, you can choose which aspect you wish to explore within the chosen topic. You can refer to this thread here, which focuses on the English A Language and Literature course, for more information about the Written Task 1: Hope this helps, and all the best with your written task! 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
