hi I'm Adam Crossley and I'm Shireen Adu we're here today to model for you an entire individual oral the analysis of the literary work the analysis of the non-literary work and the question and answer section this section will focus on just the literary part but you can watch this video from start to finish with the nonl and the Q&A as different parts of the assessment criteria are hit thought bubbles will pop up criteria a is knowledge of the works and connecting them to the global issue and it light up Criterion B is your author's choices
make these very very relevant to your Global issue and tightly aligned to that extract and the body of work and also the effect on audience and criteria be pretty important too time management uh will be displayed throughout the uh oral and also look at how moving between the different Key Parts this is the biggest part that students struggle with is moving between the literary extract and the literary body body of work and the non-literary extract and the non-literary of body of work so that'll be labeled really clearly on the screen watch that and manage your
time carefully in your own or with those areas and for Criterion D which is your academic language think very carefully about your word choices keep everything very simple very clear but varied avoid repetition and long pauses as well as the uh um verbal fotness yeah criteria D is not as highlighted in the video but you'll just see it throughout should we get to the model all right hello welcome we're here today to film an individual oral I'm an individual oral examiner my name is Adam Crossley I'm here with Miss Shere I do and we are
going to model for you an individual oral are we ready I am all right I will start the timer and we shall begin today for my individual oral I'm going to be discussing the issue of racism and identity in it I'm going to be exploring two uh two influential works first is Langston hughes's poetry and linkston Hughes poetry conveys that racism stunts the development and dreams and aspirations that are crucial for individual identity uh for my non-literary work I will be focusing on Richard aten's uh film Gandhi which shows how racism can shape an individual's
identity and motivate them to fight Injustice both Works show that racism limits the identity of individuals and that racist societies should be challenged my extract is Dream Deferred by linkston Hughes for literary and the first quote I would like to focus upon in my extract is on line four when it says what happens to a dream of def fur does it Fester like a sar and then again on line six it says does it stink like rotten meat we have two kinds of imagery being used there the first infestor like a sore is tactile imagery
you can feel the pain of the person who is suffering under this SAR that is um festering and also it's visual imagery you can picture it and it's not a pretty picture is uh unpleasant and then stink like rotten meat is whole Factory imagery so there's actually three types of imagery in there both are similes and all of the similes to and convey together the identity of a person whose dreams are deferred or denied delayed over and over again uh this conveys the widespread denial of dreams to the Black American population that Langston Hughes was
representing with his poetry and it prompts the the white audience at the time who was reading this poem to feel guilty about uh the ways in which uh identity and dreams have been denied to that population another question uh from Langston hughes's poem is does it explode which is the final line line 11 it's a rhetorical question the explosion is a metaphor for violence uh the violence the type of violence is not clearly um enunciated or or or explained it's just hinted that it could be uh crime it could be Rebellion but what happens within
a population when you take away their identity and their dreams and by ending with violence being implied as a possible reaction it's a subtle threat to those who would keep the uh Black Americans from their dreams and from from their identity as we move on to the body of work we can look at hughes's poem Mother to Son in that poem uh the Black American mother is talking to her son she says Life For Me ain't been no crystal stair it's had tax in it and splinters the crystal stair is a metaphor for a life
of ease life of comfort she is saying that her life has been difficult challenging and used uh metaphors within that with the tactile imagery of taxs and splinters you can imagine the suffering that she's been climbing and working through and the colloquial voice uh allows the Black American audience to really connect with the speaker to identify with her experience and the way that her dreams and identity have been denied uh and in another home from the body of work as I grow older the speaker talks about a wall rose rose slowly slowly between me and
my dream so we see repetition there's several line breaks in there so there's jamut to show the long process of the wall Rising the wall being a metaphor for racism that keeps them away from their dreams it shows that uh it has been a long process with the repetition of slowly and as the poem continues the speaker says my hands exclamation mark my dark hands exclamation point break through the wall and another exclamation point so we have repetition the exclamation mark showing hope for the audience so despite all of these dreams being denied or Deferred
Langston Hughes wants to end with the audience feeling hopeful in inspired to challenge to break through the walls that racist societies might put upon their populations this video is for the literary section of the individual oral the next video is for the non-literary section and the final video will be on the question and answer section again please take note of the timings roughly 1 minute on your introduction 2 minutes on the extract and 2 minutes on the body of work this is very very important and also everything is connecting back to that Global issue it's
the hinge uh if you want to watch the whole video is just one 15minute chunk that's also available in the link also you may have noticed there wasn't many comments on criteria d That's because it's mostly a continuous thing but the A B and C are really highlighted throughout the video okay should we move on to the next section the non-literary section let's do that
