According to Morris, human action involves sings and meanings in three ways:
The perception stage - The person becomes aware of a sign
The manipulation stage - The person interprets the sign and decides how to respond to it
The consummation stage - The person responds
Denotation
Denotation refers to the literal meaning of a word, the "dictionary definition"
For example, if you look up the word snaked in a dictionary, you will discover the one of its denotative meanings is "any of numerous scaly, legless, sometimes venomous reptiles, having a long, tapering, cylindrical body and found in most tropical and temperate regions"
Connotation
Connotation, one the other hand, refers to the associations that are connected to a certain word or the emotional suggestions related to that word. The connotative meanings of a word exist together with the denotative meanings. The connotations for the word snake could include evil or danger.

Jack, you are upto date with your blog posts and most of them are of acceptable standard but a little repetitive. You need to expan on the theories and apply them in more detail to your chosen piece - this will show you understand them. Once you have doen this you can then be creative, using more omages, videos and voice overs to annotate etc.
ReplyDeleteYou need to be contributing more blog posts each week, the tasks set in lesson then an independent study post to reflect your independent study – this will then reflect your grade and the show you understand the required levels of work at A-level.
You have had numerous lessons to update and improve this, as well as completing the more recent tasks that I have set.
Your target is a B - the work you have completed so far is currently acceptable, but you will not achieve your target like this.
You need to alter your work ethic to gain your target grade.
