how may a text be transformed

by changing the point of view or voice, exploring the gaps and silences in the text, or by changing the genre

when responding to questions

ensure you analyse each part of the question, understand the main idea presented, and select the best target audience

when responding to quotes

ensure you understand what is meant by the quote, what the quote implies about human behaviour, whether you agree with this implication, and who may share your viewpoint or disagree with it

when responding to an image

ensure you regard the emotions stirred when viewing it, the mood evoked, who the figures may be, why they are in this location, and what may the features of the image symbolise
