13. grammar 1: noun groups & adjectival phrases The manipulation of the audience’s response to the kangaroos through the deliberate invocation of emotions is the result of the documentary’s narrative structure. This structure influences the viewer through a construction of the supposed facts as a story. The viewer is positioned by the character evaluation that is evident in the commentary throughout the entire film. The narration states: “Eucalypt gently coaxes with her hand while Columbine offers no guiding hand to help.” The metaphor of the hand which represents mothering, is a tool used by the film makers to impose their ideology upon the viewer. The audience is then forced into a position of agreement.
14. grammar 1: noun groups & adjectival phrases The narrator’s blame shows Columbine as a bad mother but the film is stereotyping her. The stereotype is constructed by only showing her supposed uncaring attitude towards Jaffa. This is clear from the approval of Eucalypt and the disapproval of Columbine. The negative commentary makes sure that Columbine is a bad mother. The maternal stereotyping is the narrator’s ideology.

21. Last word Gunther Kress on a ‘genre’ approach to writing:
If disciplines are largely constructed in and through their texts, then every teacher will have to attend to the nature of texts as an integral part of [their] teaching….
[writing] which draws on grammatical forms which are more appropriate in spoken genres…can lead to a negative valuation of the content, a particular assessment of the writer’s knowledge, and of his [sic] standing in the discipline
