LITERAL

1.        There are three people in this scene.

2.        There are three groups of people in this scene.

3.        The soldiers are walking down from the mountains.

4.        The black people are building a hut.

5.        All of the people in the scene are unarmed.

6.        The date in the top left hand corner tells us that this is about
English settlement in India.

 

INFERENTIAL

7.        The soldiers arrived on horseback.

8.        The soldier speaking to the indigenous people is the leader of his
group.

9.        This soldier is very fearful of the indigenous people.

10.     The indigenous people are very war-like.

11.     The two groups are equal.

12.     The soldier has doubts about what he is doing.

13.     The soldier thinks that his culture is superior to indigenous
culture.

14.     The indigenous people are very excited about what the soldier is
saying to them.

15.     It would have been easy for indigenous people to resist being
colonized.

16.     Indigenous people were able to negotiate a good deal with
colonizers.

17.     The people in this scene would have understood terms like
globalisation and economic rationalism.

18.     The people in this scene would have understood long term
implications of European settlement.

19.     The people in this scene would have thought through and endorsed all
the implications of European settlement. 

CONCEPTUAL

 

20.     European exploration and colonization was part of a process that
continues today.  

21.     Just as the indigenous people were unable to avoid being colonized,
no society today can resist globalization and economic rationalism.

22.     Globalisation and economic rationalism is the modern version of
colonization.

At our school we are unable to receive attached documents. Would you copy
this into the body of the text so that I can see it as I am interested in
this method.

Using cartoons scaffolded with  three level guides is just the ticket for
encouraging kids to think deeply about human experience andthe way this is
represented in text.  (Political) Cartoons are such a concentrated form and
the 3 level guide can be adapted so that the students are forced to be
attentive to the details included in the image and bit by bit they are
supported through literal, inferential and conceptual, so that they can
complete a short piece of writing about the conceptual statement.  My
version of a 3 level cartoon guide is attached: students have to identify
whether the statements are true or false.  If false, the students rewrite
them so that they're true.  (I often get the first and second categories
confused but I really don't think that matters.)
