Rationale:
Cope and Kalantzis (2009) theory of the dimensions of meaning;
experiencing, conceptualising, and analysing is the basis for this unit. The
dimensions of meaning were utilised to develop students understanding and

Carrols (2013) assertion that boys require activities that are immediately
functional, engaging, creative and challenging to develop competence (p.10),
but also functioning to help boys establish their identity (Cullen, 2002, p.5).
Lesson one focuses on students ability to reflect on, extend, endorse
or refute others interpretations of and responses to literature (ACELT1640)
(Victorian
Curriculum
and
Assessment
Authority,
2014).

Authority, 2014). Students will use the online site storyboardthat.com to create
their storyboard, and I will begin the class by using a YouTube introductory video
of the site. According to David Bruce (2011), allowing students the opportunity to
visualise the scene they have written, helps students imagine how their images
can be framed (p.78).
This activity is designed to further students progress on the skills
theyve already learnt, scaffolding this brainstorming activity towards their final
assessment. Engaging with online sites builds upon the strengths and skills boys
already possess, and enhances their reading opportunities (Carroll, 2013, p.13).
Throughout the lesson, I will be formatively assessing their progress in creating a
multimodal visual text; incorporating text and image. The lesson will conclude
with students reflecting in their workbooks on their progress so far, an activity
which will occur after every session working on their storyboard. Through the
process of transforming written text to visual text, students are encouraged to
sample and remix, borrow and reshape, appropriate and re-contextualise
(Shamburg, 2009, p.74). Furthermore, as Skerrett (2011) adheres, the creation of
a storyboard allows for the participation in critical framing and transformed
practice as well as multimodal design (p.195).
Lesson four focuses on enabling students the ability to evaluate the
impact sound and image have within a film on an audience, whilst exploring the
use of film techniques and adapting them to their own film. The lesson aims are
based upon the AusVELS statements which focus upon evaluating the impact of
still and moving images as well as exploring the effect of different text structures
and
spoken
texts
