Internal Assessment

The document contains summaries of two stimuli that could be used for an Internal Oral (IO) assessment on the global issue of culture alienation. The first stimulus is an excerpt from the poem "Wherever I Hang" by Grace Nichols, which describes a speaker who has left their homeland for England and struggles to feel at home in their new environment. The second stimulus provides an outline template for the IO, prompting students to examine how the chosen global issue of culture alienation is presented through the content and form of one literary and one non-literary text they have studied. Bullet points offer suggestions on how to structure the analysis by "zooming in" and "zooming out" on each

Extract 1 (Literary)
Stimulus description:

Wherever I Hang – Grace Nichols (1950-)


I leave me people, me land, me home
For reasons I not too sure

I forsake de sun
And de humming-bird splendour
Had big rats in de floorboard

So I pick up me new-world-self
And come to this place call England
At first I feeling like I in a dream -

De misty greyness
I touching the walls to see if they real
They solid to de seam
And de people pouring from de underground system
Like beans

And when I look up to de sky


I see Lord Nelson high - too high to lie.

And is so I sending home photos of myself


Among de pigeons and de snow
And is so I warding off de cold
And is so, little by little
I begin to change my calypso ways

Never visiting nobody


Before giving them clear warning
And waiting me turn in queue
Now, after all this time

I get accustom to de English life


But I still miss back-home side
To tell you de truth
I don't know really where I belaang

Yes, divided to de ocean


Divided to de bone

Wherever I hang me knickers - that's my home.
