Today, we're going to learn how to apply Global Contexts to analyze literary and media texts. Can anyone tell me what a Global Context is?
Is it like a theme or big idea we use to understand different subjects?
Exactly! Global Contexts provide a framework for exploring real-world issues. What kind of questions can we ask when looking at a text?
Maybe something like 'What does this text tell us about our identities?'
Or 'How does it connect to historical events?'
Great examples! These questions guide your analysis and link texts to broader human experiences. Letβs remember the acronym C.A.R.E. for Context β Analyze β Relate β Explore. This helps focus your inquiries!
C.A.R.E.! That's easy to remember!
That's the goal! Now, letβs move forward and examine some examples of text analysis.

Now, letβs talk about how we can analyze various texts. For example, how would we evaluate a non-fiction article about climate change?
Maybe using 'Globalization and Sustainability' to explore its global impact?
Exactly! We could also look at it through 'Scientific and Technical Innovation' for the solutions it proposes. What about a short story set during a historical event?
We can use 'Orientation in Space and Time' to see how the event shaped the characters.
I think 'Identities and Relationships' works too, showing how those events affect personal identities.
Perfect! Each lens offers a unique perspective. Does anyone want to add how to evaluate a social media campaign?
That could be through 'Personal and Cultural Expression' to see how it reflects current culture!
Nailed it! Remember, each context helps you analyze the textβs relevance to current issues.

For our activity today, you will work in groups to analyze a short literary excerpt or an image through the lens of Global Contexts. Choose one or two contexts it connects to and discuss why. Letβs start!
We found this photo related to climate change. Can we discuss it using 'Scientific and Technical Innovation'?
I think it represents 'Globalization and Sustainability' too because it shows the effects of human activity.
Excellent! Now, make sure you find textual evidence to support your connections. This will strengthen your analysis.
What kind of textual evidence should we look for?
Look for quotes, facts, or descriptions that link directly to the contexts you chose. It's great to see you all collaborating!
We're ready to present our findings!
Fantastic! Letβs hear how you connected your text to the Global Contexts.

Detailed Summary
In this section, students are introduced to the importance of applying IB MYP Global Contexts when analyzing literary and media texts. These contexts serve as analytical frameworks that help students explore how various texts relate to larger human experiences, cultural values, and real-world issues.
Key concepts include:
- Conceptual Application: Students learn to ask guiding questions to help analyze texts, such as "What universal human experience or real-world issue does this text illuminate?" and "How does this text connect to personal or group identities?"
- Examples of Application: The section provides concrete examples demonstrating how to analyze different types of texts through specific Global Contexts. Examples include:
- Evaluating a non-fiction article on climate change through the lens of "Globalization and Sustainability" or "Scientific and Technical Innovation."
- Discussing a short story about a historical event in terms of "Orientation in Space and Time" or "Identities and Relationships."
- Evaluating a social media campaign with respect to "Personal and Cultural Expression" or "Fairness and Development."
- Activity: The section concludes with an engaging group activity where students examine a short literary excerpt, a political cartoon, or a photograph. They select relevant Global Contexts to discuss how the material connects, reinforcing their analytical skills through textual evidence.
This section's focus on integrating Global Contexts into literary and media analysis not only enhances students' critical thinking but also enables them to connect their studies to real-world challenges and themes.

Teach students to use the Global Contexts as analytical frameworks. This involves asking questions like: "What universal human experience or real-world issue does this text shed light on?", "How does this text relate to personal or group identities?", or "How does this text explore creativity or cultural values?"
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, students learn how to apply Global Contexts as tools to analyze texts. This means looking beyond the surface of a literary or media work to find deeper meanings. By asking specific questions, students are encouraged to think critically about the content they are consuming. For instance, they might examine how a story relates to themes of identity or how an article addresses an important societal issue. This approach helps students connect their learning and experiences to broader, universal themes, enhancing their understanding of both the text and the world.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine reading a story about a refugee's journey. By applying the Global Contexts, you might ask how this story relates to the issue of migration in the world today (universal human experience) or how it reflects the identity of the refugee (personal and group identities). Just like exploring different layers of an onion, analyzing the text with these questions helps peel back the layers to reveal deeper truths.

Examples of Application:
- Analyzing a non-fiction article about climate change through "Globalization and Sustainability" (impact of human activity, global cooperation) or "Scientific and Technical Innovation" (solutions, scientific understanding).
- Discussing a short story about a historical event through "Orientation in Space and Time" (how historical events shape characters, understanding different eras) or "Identities and Relationships" (how people's identities are formed by their historical context).
- Evaluating a social media campaign through "Personal and Cultural Expression" (how it reflects contemporary culture, how individuals express themselves online) or "Fairness and Development" (if it addresses social justice issues).
Detailed Explanation
This chunk provides practical examples of how to apply the Global Contexts in various scenarios. For instance, when analyzing a non-fiction article about climate change, students might consider the effects of globalization and the need for sustainable practices, highlighting human responsibility. Similarly, while discussing a historical story, students can explore how past events shape identities and perspectives, thereby connecting the text to real historical significance. Lastly, evaluating a social media campaign can reveal cultural expressions and may also touch on issues of fairness and justice. These examples elucidate how different texts can be aligned with Global Contexts to foster a richer understanding of their implications both within and outside the classroom.
Examples & Analogies
Consider a documentary about the Amazon rainforest. Analyzing it through "Globalization and Sustainability" would allow you to understand how human activities, such as deforestation, impact the planet globally. Itβs like a puzzle where each piece represents a different aspect of the world; by fitting them together under these themes, you can see the bigger picture of environmental issues and human impact.

Activity: Provide students with a short literary excerpt, a political cartoon, or a compelling photograph. In small groups, they will select one or two relevant Global Contexts and discuss how the chosen text connects to these contexts, providing specific textual evidence to support their analysis.
Detailed Explanation
The activity described encourages collaborative learning. Students will work in small groups to analyze a selected piece of textβthis can be a literary excerpt, a political cartoon, or even a photograph. They will identify Global Contexts relevant to the text and engage in discussions about these connections. This hands-on approach not only reinforces the theoretical concepts learned but also nurtures critical thinking and analytical skills as they cite textual evidence to support their views. It's a practical way to integrate the concepts of Global Contexts into their analysis and interpretation of various media.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine youβre in a group analyzing a political cartoon that addresses climate change. By identifying the relevant Global Contextsβlike "Fairness and Development"βyou discuss how the cartoon comments on the imbalance in climate responsibility between developed and developing nations. This active discussion is akin to putting a spotlight on important issues, revealing how they relate to the real world while sharpening your understanding and analytical skills.
