Creative/Imaginative Statement of Intention?
« on: August 04, 2011, 04:39:24 pm »

Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a pickle and would appreciate any help given.

I have a SAC and I've rote learnt my essay, because the prompt we were given was fit-one-fit-all sort of thing. However, we're allowed to bring in one 'cheat sheet' of notes on the day of the actual SAC, and I was thinking of jotting down my Statement of Intention. How would I go about writing it? Should I follow FLAP, or would I need to modify it? A lot of my links to the book (Streetcar named Desire if anyone's curious) are subtle (but genuine), and I was wondering if I needed to elaborate the ideas to my teachers, in order to make my creative piece seem 'clever'.

Thanks!

Hey!
A word of warning: although FLAP+C is a great way to remember what to include in your Statement of Intention, I wouldn't follow it precisely. For example: " My form was... My language was... My audience was... "      This can be quite bland and generic. Although not worth a huge chunk of your grade, try and make the statement of intention interesting, descriptive and effective.
When explaining the links that you made to the text always make sure you describe how you made those links - whether it was your literary features, the structure of your writing, the realisation of the key characters of your piece, etc
Good luck!!
And remember, make sure you describe HOW, not just WHAT.

This is suitable for a text respinse but not a creative response as u have to add more of w variety of things
Ie, explaining the relationship of your text to the book, how does your story add to the book etc

Hi,

Sorry I was wondering if you could explain what FLAP+C is?

Thanks

F is form
L is language (for eg. Formal language)
A is audience (dont just say readers of this... that is not specific enough, instead categorise them, for eg, middle class ciztizens from the western countries
P is purpose
C is context

Your statement of intention is the justification of your ideas;

- Justifying how you wrote it and why.
- Justifying your ideas, and how they link to the original text.

Just have to be asking your self 'why' constantly, why did I use this metaphor.

I don't know what your criteria looks like but I would suggest looking at it, specifically the wording.

Eg. "Insightful justifications into the ideas and themes developed throughout the text."

So yes, I should suggest writing down key your key reasons for your justification and brief dot points to support them.
