Curriculum links
This achievement standard is derived from visual language achievement objectives up to and including Level 6: using texts, processing information, thinking critically.
Guidelines for use
The following guidelines are supplied to enable teachers to carry out valid and consistent assessment using this internal assessment resource.
Context/setting
In this activity, students work as part of a production team to prepare and present a small, illustrated anthology. This may be based on the poetic texts used to prepare for AS 90055
: Read, study and show understanding of a number of short written texts. Alternatively, the activity may be used for students to create a visual representation of several of the texts studied in their Level 1 year, so that it becomes a yearbook rather than an anthology.
This unit is ideal for dual assessment with Achievement Standard 90033
: Apply a decision-making model to produce a solution from a given brief (Text and Information Management Level 1, 4 credits).
Students will work in a team situation to:
- Choose, prepare and visually present two static images in a format appropriate for inclusion in an anthology.
- In a production meeting: argue, justify and have accepted the decisions made about visual presentation and its relationship to the texts.
- Undertake a

.
Conditions
This activity should be worked on in class and at home. Students' discussion of their work will ensure authenticity. Teachers should first guide students through the image deconstruction task provided; helping them to identify the techniques used and comment on their effectiveness.
The teacher may be invited to attend a regular team meeting, and may advise if the potential for any student to achieve the standard is compromised. However, s/he cannot offer specific ideas or instructions on improvement. The teacher will also be invited to attend those meetings at which students justify their work. S/he will assess at this time.
Resource requirements
Students who wish to produce hand-drawn work will be provided with the paper required to produce their images and they may also be provided with coloured paper, pens, paint and other art supplies. They have access to computers and graphic and illustrative software to create or manipulate images. The team will have access to a scanner to prepare work for publication. Each group of 5 students should have access to a networked computer for the duration of the unit.

Learning task 1
Learning task 2
In this activity you are to work as an essential part of a publishing team. You will contribute two pages to a collection of poetry. The collection will be based on a theme, or explore the work of a particular poet. Your pages will contain all or part of a poem, set in a visual interpretation of a strong idea. All decisions made will need to be justified in visual language terms.
- Your image must reflect the main idea(s) or message(s) you have identified in your chosen text.
- You must include a piece of substantial text from the poem which reinforces the idea(s) in your image.
- You may need to include the title and author of the text, dependent on the nature of your anthology.
- Your static image must be produced to allow for publication and copying.
- You must speak at a team meeting, justifying the decisions you have made in relation to your chosen texts.
You will be assessed on
- how well you communicate your ideas to your audience
- the appropriateness and effectiveness of your verbal and visual techniques
- how clearly you identify and explain the techniques you have used in your static image.
