This week, let's talk about types of text, or the different ways in which subjects can be represented.

For example, look at the place you're sitting. (Front room? Bedroom? Roof?)

How many different ways have you encountered in books and theatre which represents such a physical space?

Maybe you will have found a room in a poem or narrative story, in a newspaper article or on a stage, on factual information panels, in a designer's notebook, as architectural drawings, in a historical analysis, as a data sheet on an archaeological dig, and so on.

Can we try and collect examples? I'll put them here over time.

Choose a subject for yourself. (A horse? Fish? Cat?) How many different ways, or types of text, could represent your subject? Let's talk about it, and how you could write up or show your ideas.
