English FAL GR 11 Date: Term 2
Literature assignment: Task 5 Total: [35]
Time: 1h
THIS ASSIGNMENT CONSISTS OF TWO SECTIONS. ANSWER BOTH.
SECTION A [20] Design a Missing Child Poster
SECTION B [15] Questions on Dreaming of Light by Jayne Bauling
WRITING AND PRESENTING: POSTER:
TOPIC:
‘Dreaming of Light’ deals with illegal mining in South Africa and the trafficking of
children as labour for these mines. Many of these children come from poverty-stricken
families in our neighbouring countries. They believe the false promises of recruiters
who say they will make lots of money to send to their families back home. Once these
children leave home, their parents usually have no idea where they are or what they are
doing. A poster can be a valuable tool for advertising that children are missing and to
encourage people to come forward with this information. This type of poster is known
as a social issue poster.
You will design a social issue poster to inform the South African and Mozambican
public of the disappearance of one of these children. Copies of the poster will be put
up in public places, border posts, police stations and on social platforms in
Mozambique and South Africa.
(NOTE: Illustrations or drawings are not necessary, as you will be assessed only on the
written text of the poster. If you wish, you may indicate what illustration/images you will
use by means of a block or circle; write down what will be in the block/circle, e.g.,
‘photo of missing child’.)
Length of task
