ASSESSMENT TASK 2: PROGRAMMING FOR TEACHING READING & VIEWING (PAIR WORK)

Part 1: Preparation for Programming

1.1. Selecting teaching resources

EXCERPT 1 NOVELLA (Page 43-45):

At the far end of the hall was the mirror. She could see herself walking towards the mirror, looking, reflected, a little braver than she actually
felt.(+ive, appreciation, adjective) ​There was nothing else there in the mirror. Just her, in the corridor.

A hand touched her shoulder, and she looked up. The other mother stared down at Coraline with big black button eyes.

“Coraline, my darling,” she said. “I thought we could play some games together this morning, now you’re back from your walk. Hopscotch?
Happy Families? Monopoly?”

“You weren’t in the mirror,” said Coraline.

The other mother smiled. “Mirrors,” she said, “are never to be trusted. Now, what game shall we play?”

Coraline shook her head​. “I don’t want to play with you,”(-ive, affect,verb) she said. “I want to go home and be with my real parents. I want you
to let them go. To let us all go.”

The other mother shook her head, very slowly. “Sharper than a serpent’s tooth,” she said, “is a daughter’s ingratitude. ​Still, the proudest spirit
can be broken, with love.”(-ive, judgement, noun)​ And her long white fingers waggled and caressed the air.
Claire Nelson (S00238330) Khanyisile Galloway (S00246435) 24/10/2020

“I have no plans to love you,”(-ive,judgement, noun)​ said Coraline. ​“No matter what. You can’t make me love you.”(intensifier)

“Let’s talk about it,” said the other mother, and she turned and walked into the lounge. Coraline followed her.

The other mother sat down on the big sofa. She picked up a shopping bag from beside the sofa and took out a white, rustling, paper bag from
inside it.

She extended the hand with it to Coraline. “Would you like one?” she asked politely.

Expecting it to be a toffee or a butterscotch ball, Coraline looked down. The bag was half filled with large shiny blackbeetles, crawling over each
other in their efforts to get out of the bag. “No,” said Coraline. “I don’t want one.”

“Suit yourself,” said her other mother. She carefully picked out a particularly large and black beetle, pulled off its legs (which she dropped,
neatly, into a big glass ashtray on the small table beside the sofa), and popped the beetle into her mouth. She crunched it happily.

“Yum,” she said, and took another.

“You’re sick,” said Coraline. “Sick and evil and weird.”

“Is that any way to talk to your mother?” her other mother asked, with her mouth full of blackbeetles.

“You aren’t my mother,” said Coraline.

Her other mother ignored this. “Now, I think you are a little overexcited, Coraline. Perhaps this afternoon we could do a little embroidery
together, or some watercolor painting. Then dinner, and then, if you have been good, you may play with the rats a little before bed. And I
Claire Nelson (S00238330) Khanyisile Galloway (S00246435) 24/10/2020

shall read you a story and tuck you in, and kiss you good night.” Her long white fingers fluttered gently, like a tired butterfly, and Coraline
shivered.

“No,” said Coraline.

The other mother sat on the sofa. Her mouth was set in a line; her lips were pursed. She popped another blackbeetle into her mouth and then
another, like someone with a bag of chocolate covered raisins. Her big black button eyes stared into Coraline’s hazel eyes. Her shiny black
hair twined and twisted about her neck and shoulders, as if it were blowing in some wind that Coraline could not touch or feel.

They stared at each other for over a minute. Then the other mother said, “Manners!” She folded the white paper bag carefully so no blackbeetles
could escape, and she placed it back in the shopping bag. ​Then she stood up, and up, and up(repetition): she seemed taller than Coraline
remembered(intensifier)​. She reached into her apron pocket and pulled out, first the black door key, which she frowned at and tossed into her
shopping bag, then a tiny silver-colored key. She held it up triumphantly. “There we are,” she said. “This is for you, Coraline. For your own
good. Because I love you. To teach you manners. Manners makyth man, after all.”

She pulled Coraline back into the hallway and advanced upon the mirror at the end of the hall. Then she pushed the tiny key into the fabric of the
mirror, and she twisted it.

It opened like a door, revealing a dark space behind it. “You may come out when you’ve learned some manners,” said the other mother. “And
when you’re ready to be a loving daughter.”

She picked Coraline up and pushed her into the dim space behind the mirror. A fragment of beetle was sticking to her lower lip, and there was no
expression at all in her black button eyes.

Then she swung the mirror door closed, and left Coraline in darkness.

1.2. Text analysis for teaching content ​(approx. 250-300 words​)

ANALYSIS OF NOVELLA

In the passage of the Novella above, Neil Gaiman's narration creates an insight into the characters of the Other Mother and Coraline. Throughout
the passage the characters develop and their characteristics are revealed through the use of direct and indirect characterisation. Details of the
characters are shown in their interactions and thoughts throughout the passage as we learn further about the relationship between Corline and the
Other Mother. We learn their contrasting differences that reflect and show evidence of the growing relationship between the characters. The
Other Mother is characterised as creepy and unusual, as her behaviours and expressions are depicted in the passage. Coraline's defiant and angry
expressions and speech highlight the disconnection in their relationship.

Novella: ​Language Resources. (-ive = Negative, +ive = Positive)

1. Explicit Attitude

‘“I don’t want to play with you”’ (-ive, affect, verb)


- This negative interaction between Coraline and the Other Mother express Coraline’s unwillingness to engage with the Other Mother.
By this time Coraline has already detached herself from the Other Mother emotionally as the realisation of her evil and unsavory ways
have been recognised.

‘“I have no plans to love you”’ (-ive, judgement, noun)


- In this excerpt Coraline has made it explicitly clear to the Other Mother of her true thoughts and feelings toward her. Coraline can
recognise the distinct difference between love from her real mother compared to that from the Other Mother and has chosen reality over
fiction.

2. Implicit Attitude
Claire Nelson (S00238330) Khanyisile Galloway (S00246435) 24/10/2020

‘...Still, the proudest spirit can be broken, with love”’ (-ive, judgement, noun)
- The Other Mother is implying that she still has a hold over Coraline emotionally with the threat of love. But the Other Mother is also
showing uncertainty in whether she still has Coraline in her grips expressing to the audience of Coralines maturity and growth.

‘She could see herself walking towards the mirror, looking, reflected, a little braver than she actually felt.’ (+ive, appreciation, verb)

- As Coraline see’s her reflection she is reminded of who she is and feels a strength from within to be brave when facing the Other
Mother. Coraline still has fears about the Other Mother but pushes herself to free her family and lost souls.

3. Graduation Strategies

‘“No matter what. You can’t make me love you”’(intensifier)


- This statement made by Coraline is a intensifying graduation to her previous statement made toward the Other Mother. In saying this
she is reassuring herself and the Other Mother that there is no love shared between the two.

‘Then she stood up, and up, and up(repetition): she seemed taller than Coraline remembered(intensifier).’

- The repetition of ‘up’ intensifies Coraline's instilled fear of the Other Mother in this moment. As the Other Mother grew Coraline
bravery and resilience lessens reminding the audience she is still a vulnerable child.

SPEECH Coraline speaking to the other mother saying “I have no plans to love you”, followed by “No matter what, You can’t make me
love you” stresses her dislike of her other mother and inability to love her the way that the other mother would like her to love
her. In this scene we sense an argument between mother and daughter when the other mother says “Is that any way to talk to
your mother?”, yet the argument becomes irregular when the text states “her other mother asked, with her mouth full of
blackbeetles”. Coraline stresses her dislike and unloving attitude towards the other mother when she states “You aren’t my
Claire Nelson (S00238330) Khanyisile Galloway (S00246435) 24/10/2020

mother”. We strongly see here though Coraline’s speech that she has no intention of becoming part of her “other family” and
the emotion that Coraline is showing is being angry and deflective.

THOUGH One main theme we see in this section of the Novella is that Coraline has a strong distaste towards the other mother, whereas
T the other mother has a strong liking towards Coraline. We understand clearer throughout the passage Coraline's thoughts when
she describes the Other Mother as “Sick and evil and weird”.

EFFECTS We can see the conflicting effects of awe and anger that the Other Mother has on Coraline in the passage. In the passage it
states Coraline describing her Other Mother with “Shiny black hair twined and twisted about her neck and shoulders, as if it
were blowing in some wind that Coraline could not touch or feel. They stared at each other for over a minute”. This description
creates the awe effects that the Other Mother has had on Coraline with her appearance as she looks at her for a long length of
time. Although in the previous part of the passage, Coraline “shivered” at the appearance of the Other Mothers “long white
fingers”. There seems to be part of the Other Mother that Coraline likes and dislikes.

ACTIONS The actions of the other mother in the passage make it clear that she is an irregular character. Descriptions of “She popped
another blackbeetle into her mouth and then another, like someone with a bag of chocolate- covered raisins”, and “A fragment
of beetle was sticking to her lower lip, and there was no expression at all in her black button eyes depicts the Other Mother to
be unusual and different to Coraline's character.

LOOK In the passage it says, “The other mother sat on the sofa. Her mouth was set in a line; her lips were pursed”. This makes us feel
that the Other Mother’s lack of emotions means that she is either up to something or is thinking about something that can’t be
good.

ANALYSIS OF ANIMATION

SPEECH:
Claire Nelson (S00238330) Khanyisile Galloway (S00246435) 24/10/2020

In the Animation and the Novella, oral speech is part of the dialogue to identify characters' expressions. The animation portrays Coraline and the
Other Mother through actions, facial expressions and body language, making evidence of the strained relationships between these characters.
The scenes between 57:15 and 58:35 stresses and demonstrates the characters behaviours and attitudes in their interactions.

LOOK:
Claire Nelson (S00238330) Khanyisile Galloway (S00246435) 24/10/2020

In the animation Coraline and the Other mothers clothing are of bright colours as well as the setting. These bright colours reflect the personality
of both Coraline and the Other Mother. Coraline wears typical attire for a child, unlike the Other Mother who bold colours reflect Coraline's
dream mother in the unreal world. The Other Mother is presented in a bright lighting to present a imaginative and entrancing view of Coraline's
imagination and dreams. The bright colours of both Coraline and the Other Mother clash to present two worlds that may look like they belong
together, but instead clash.
