ALL230 Adapting Children's Texts Across Media

Trimester 2, 2024

Welcome

Young people engage with multimodal narratives across a range of genres - stories that are heard, read, performed,

screened, and interacted with. The first children’s literature was adapted, and often appropriated, from texts for adults: tales, romances or plays. Building on the study of narrative and genre from earlier units, this unit examines the

transformation of texts within and across media, including adaptations of Shakespeare, picture books, graphic and prose novels, film and digital media texts. It introduces students to concepts such as fidelity, media specificity of narrative

techniques, cultural context, cross-writing for broader audiences, and multimodal engagement. In addition, it provides

students with techniques for critiquing these texts, their narrative discourse, marketing, and role in pedagogical, as well as entertainment, contexts.

This Unit Guide provides you with the key information about this unit. Please read it carefully and refer to it frequently

throughout the study period. Your unit site also provides information about your rights and responsibilities. We will assume you have read this before the unit commences, and we expect you to refer to it throughout the study period.

To be successful in this unit, you must:

. read all materials in preparation for your learning activities and follow up each with further study and research on the topic

About this unit

Unit development in response to student feedback

Every trimester, we ask students to tell us, through eVALUate, what helped and hindered their learning in each unit. You are strongly encouraged to provide constructive feedback for this unit when eVALUate opens (you will be emailed a link).

Following student feedback, the timing of Assessment 2 and Assessment 3 has been revised. These assessments are

conceptually linked, one commenting on the other, and will now be due on the same date. Students will thus be able to take part in classes and online discussions before selecting the texts to be used for these assessments.

eVALUate offers you a chance to tell us what you think worked well and to make constructive and considered suggestions for improvement. I encourage you to complete this as the results are used to help assess curriculum, teaching and assessment directions in this unit.

Please be aware that the eVALUate survey is not the place to air personal grievances: you should contact the unit chair during the trimester if you believe there is a problem.

If you have any concerns about the unit during the trimester, please contact the unit teaching team - preferably early in the trimester - so we can discuss your concerns, and make adjustments, if appropriate.

Your Unit Learning Outcomes

Assessing your achievement of the unit learning outcomes

Summative assessment (tasks that will be graded or marked)

NOTE: It is your responsibility to keep a backup copy of every assignment and the materials used to develop/complete it where possible (e.g. written/digital reports, essays, videos, images). In the unusual event that one of your

submissions becomes corrupted, is incorrectly submitted or otherwise lost, you may be asked to submit the backup copy.

Any work you submit may be checked by electronic or other means for the purposes of detecting breaches of academic

integrity such as collusion, plagiarism and contract cheating. You must understand your responsibility to act with honesty and integrity in your studies as Deakin takes all breaches very seriously. Make sure you read Your rights and responsibilities as a     student in this unit to find out more about academic integrity.

Deakin has a universal assessment submission time of 8 pm AEDT/AEST. A late penalty will apply to assessments submitted after 11.59 pm AEDT/AEST.
