ASSESSMENT TASK 3: CREATIVE TASK AND WRITTEN REFLECTION In this task you will think about a particularly current and problematic social crisis or issue of marginalisation that is relevant to and a motivational factor for your choice of course of study. Part A is the evocative, authentic element, and Part B is the critical, expositional companion piece. Part A: Original and creative work with accompanying artist statement (5 marks in total). i) Produce an original piece of creative work that reflects your response to the unit and why it matters (or not) to a social crisis or issue of marginalisation that is particularly important to your course of study. This can be in any medium or genre, e.g., poem, short story, letter, collage, dramatic skit, painting, sculpture, musical composition, etc. It should take your tutor no longer than approximately 2 or 3 minutes to view, listen to, read, etc. As a general guideline: this equates to no more than one A4 page or equivalent. ii) Write an artist statement (250 words) that: (a) details the inspiration underpinning the piece of work you have produced; and (b) provides a rationale of the elements in the work and how they meet aspects of this task. Social crisis or issue of marginalisation, examples of an appropriate crisis or issue might include: gender equality, disability inclusion, First Nations recognition and consultation, etc. Please note that these are simply examples, and that you do not need to choose one of them. Course of study: the degree program you are enrolled in at ACU. (MY COURSE OF STUDY IS BACHELOR OF NURSING)
Part B: Analysis of issue in a written reflection (45 marks in total). Based on your original piece of creative work, write a reflection in the form of an argumentative essay (1,500 words) on one of the most important social crises or issues of marginalisation to your course of study. The essay must justify your choice of social crisis or issue of marginalisation and explain its relevance to your course of study thoroughly. Your essay should also reflect on key insights across this entire unit (UNCC100), especially highlighting the significance of Catholic social thought principles and how they might contribute to addressing the social crisis or issue of marginalisation. Your response should display an appropriate type and degree of sensitivity to the social crisis or issue of marginalisation that you choose to explore. It should be clear to your reader what bothers you and whom you want to help. What do you owe to having access to this education? Why are you doing this course at ACU and not something else?
It is a requirement that you: a) demonstrate engagement with key insights across the entire unit (UNCC100), including particularly, Modules 3, 4, and 5. b) cite at least the following five resources: i. one LEO resource (e.g., LEO book, a linked article, reading, a YouTube video clip, etc.) that is included in the LEO folder/tile for Module 3: Flourishing and the good life. ii. one LEO resource (e.g., LEO book, a linked article, reading, a YouTube video clip, etc.) that is included in the LEO folder/tile for Module 4: Empathy and compassion.
