[hyperbole]

Hey,

I'm just wondering what the teachers expect from us with this module. That is, what is it that they want us to see or understand. For e.g for module a, we were expected to see how different contexts affect values etc.

Thanks,

hyperbole.

also...specificially for wild swans.

this is from the syllabus:
Module B: Critical Study of Texts

This module requires students to explore and evaluate a specific text and its reception in a range of contexts. It develops students’ understanding of questions of textual integrity.

Each elective in this module requires close study of a single text to be chosen from a list of prescribed texts.

Students explore the ideas expressed in the text through analysing its construction, content and language. They examine how particular features of the text contribute to textual integrity. They research others’ perspectives of the text and test these against their own understanding and interpretations of the text. Students discuss and evaluate the ways in which the set work has been read, received and valued in historical and other contexts. They extrapolate from this study of a particular text to explore questions of textual integrity and significance.

Students develop a range of imaginative, interpretive and analytical compositions that relate to the study of their specific text. These compositions may be realised in a variety of forms and media.

this is the value of texts in our context of time. that is, how they can be related to the modern era that is derived from the past, but also asking for our own judgement on what the text means to us.

read, received and valued in historical and other contexts.

however, all together showing the contexual value it had on society at the time of its production.


this was just an explanation of what is required from us what joe had already given. hope that explains everything in normal english
