Background information
This MYP language and literature sample for year 5 was submitted as part of the unit Darkness Calls: Rebellion and Emotion in the Gothic Sensibility. The assignment asked the students to create a “Black Book”, a “deep, dark tome exploring the gothic sensibility”. The idea was for students to create, collect and curate fragments of their own writing, a longer piece of sustained writing, quotations from other texts, and visual and textural elements that evoked the Gothic. They were asked to explore writing style and the connection between emotion and landscape in Gothic writing, but were given free rein in presentation, allowing the “Black Book” to be something other than a book.This sample from the task shows the written elements as presented by the student, not including some of the tangible pieces that were presented with the written work. The story was presented as an aged and decaying manuscript inside a black, silk-lined chest. The lid of the chest was studded with fragments of text, chiefly from an alliterative alphabet story. The chest was very artistic in presentation, clearly demonstrating attention paid to choosing and distressing the elements for a sense of age and authenticity. A source list was included to cite sources of inspiration for the format and content of the work.Sample Question 2A formal essay exploring the depiction of emotional states in Gothic literature.
A: For analysis of language and technique in Frankenstein and understanding of the author’s choices and of the Gothic genre; students may choose to support their points with comparison to other texts. B: For organization of ideas in essay form. D: For use of expressive language and appropriate vocabulary in a formal register. (An alternative could be an argumentative essay exploring the question of influence of literature on mental health or on attitudes of a time. This could also be done in debate form.)Sample Question 2B - A “Black Book”: A compilation of collected and annotated texts, original writing, imagery, graphics, artifacts, etc in an imaginatively presented format.
The project will be judged against the following criteria. A: Annotations will be assessed for understanding of genre and author’s choices. B: Organization will be assessed based on the establishment of a coherent structure for the context of the “book” and on cohesive devices used to establish a flow of ideas between visual and textual elements. Proper referencing for collected materials will also be assessed. C: Text produced will be assessed for thought and imagination demonstrated, and perspectives and ideas presented. D: Language use will be assessed based on use of visuals as text and on written components for style, register and range.assessments done in class
