In this common module students deepen their understanding of how texts represent individual and collective human experiences. They examine how texts represent human qualities and emotions associated with, or arising from, these experiences. Write definitions for the following from the NESA glossary: Representation: the way ideas are portrayed and represented in texts, using language devices, forms, features and structures f texts to create specific views about characters, events and ideas. Representation applies to all language modes: Spoken, written, visual and multimodal.

Representing: The language mode that involves composing images in visual or multimodal texts. These images and their meaning are composed using codes and conventions. The term can include such activities as graphically presenting the structure of a novel, making a film, composing web page or enacting a dramatic text.

UNDERSTANDING Rubric Statement 4 We need to think deeply about What are Human Qualities? What makes us human?

Locke’s idea of Memory: In his Essay, Locke suggests that the self is “a thinking intelligent being, that has reason and reflection, and can consider itself as itself, the same thinking thing, in different times and places” and continues to define personal identity simply as “the sameness of a rational being” (Locke). So long as one is the same self, the same rational being, one has the same personal identity. Every human being has inalienable rights - Locke

Descartes Cogito, ergo sum is a Latin philosophical proposition by René Descartes usually translated into English as "I think, therefore I am". This captures the human condition as it shows COMPLEX LANGUAGE (Chomsky, Derrida)

Chomsky: Language helps define the human experience (righting, documented language)

Derrida: Meanings generated by a text is dependent on who is reading the text. There is no set meaning in a text, it is what you take from it and/or what you brin to it.
