Resources for IA1 - Introductory, Four Approaches, author-centred and reader-centred approaches, reading and defence, model responses. It is strongly suggested that the texts for IA 1 be short i.e. short stories, novellas or poems. This assignment focuses on the application of theory, not the text study. Long novels and complex movies draw too much attention away from theory and understanding of reading and defence genres. Please see Tony Cuppit's (BGGS) very useful IA1 model planning and response doc. A big thanks to Sara Suyen for key quotations documents and IA 1 Readings Booklet. (Jan 2022) Readings booklet yet to be uploaded - it's big!

I was pretty much starting from scratch with this class in regards to text interpretation so many resources are at beginner level. I picked the class up as they began IA3. They missed IA2 due to Covid so had missed important interpretive strategies.
