Grade 10 English Language & Literature: Intertextuality creative tasks
Inside Out: a screenplay
In Grade 10 English Language & Literature, students studied intertextuality, the complex interconnections between different creators’ works. Hitomi was interested in the pairing of different individuals in cinematic narratives, specifically the “two guys, one girl” friendship she’d seen developed in films like the Harry Potter series. For her creative task, she wrote this screenplay about such a group, choosing to alter characters’ sexual orientation to play with audience’s expectations around tension building in relationship dramas.
“The Garden”: graphic novel
Marshal was interested in the motif of the parentless child, common in manga and anime. She created a graphic novel based around a motherless child, weighed down by memories of her mother, who discovers her spirit in an unexpected place.
