(Distinctively Visual)
Run Lola Run
What does the syllabus say?
 In their responding

students explore the ways the images we

of different texts create these images, affect
interpretation and shape meaning .
Students examine their prescribed text , in
addition to other texts providing examples of
the distinctively visual .
