There are three components to this task, which will require you to both creatively and analytically respond to the novel’s themes, characters, and events. Task One: Magazine CoverYou are to create a magazine cover that would appear in the 1960s that appeals to either the ‘Greasers’ (poor, lower class) or the ‘Socs’ (rich, upper class) of which both have unique social class identities and interests. You must use ICT to create this cover page (suggestions for programs include Canva, Photoshop and Microsoft Word). You must consider and plan the following first:Give your magazine a name and include a time stamp (E.g. 1st June, 1962 edition). You may use an existing magazine (or other) company that existed at the time (e.g. Vogue, etc). Think of the type of magazine you would like to create (for example – a fashion magazine, teenage gossip magazine, adult women’s home magazine, car/auto magazine, political based magazine, music-based magazine, etc). Appeal to gender and age: either women/girls or men/teenage boys to make your magazine more focused, appealing and realistic. Think about the positioning of text and size of the font to convey importance. Consider the 1960s time period – what products and services were available then – also what did they consider as important? E.g. the American dream, appliances, gender roles, actors. Consider your social group – what did your particular social group wear? Who did they aspire to? Who did they listen to? What did they believe in?Your magazine must include the following:Include small advertisements for products/services that would appeal to your group (minimum three) – e.g. radios, fashion items, records, hairstyles, etc.Reflect the interests of the social group you have picked – through the celebrities, styles of fashion, brands etc that you choose.Appropriate language/slang relevant to the 1960s time period and your group (slang or terms relevant to the social group). Reflect the 1960s time period through all choices present on the magazine cover. Present your magazine cover in A4 size, colour, with images to add appeal for audiences. Submission: You must print your magazine cover for your teacher on the due date.587487433210081866298000Task Two: Empathic response (500 words)TaskConditionsDate givenDraft dueFinal due dateEmpathic Response (creative, written)*500 wordsDrafting and conferencing with teacher; in-class lessons in English permitted Week 5 Week 6 Week 7From the list of specific events below, pick one character who is significant in this moment.
