If it says "at least," write about two or more. If it only says one, save yourself some worry and write a lot on one of them. No point wasting time and effort writing on a text you're not even going to be marked on.

What if you need to write about 2, like that's the only way to get conflicting perspectives. . . Coz I did 2 articles that offer different perspectives about Bill Henson

Treat them as one text, like Birthday Letters, a group of poems, is treated as one text.

When asked to write about "at least" one text, that's just code for "write about two or more texts, but for the love of god do at least one".

If it asks you to write about "ONE", it means one. If you're worried, consider how that representation of that (whatever it is) effects the responders perspective.

Remember, the module is NOT!!!!!!!!! conflicting perspectives, it is REPRESENTATION AND TEXT. Your argument, I'm assuming (I'm doing h+m), has to be about how conflicting perspectives affect the way a text is represented... or whatever.

Emphasise how that text (and your prescribed) are specifically made to influence our (the responders) perspective of the event.

However, I bet module c will not ask for just one text. It will be a "at least ONE other text of your own choosing" question. They want conflicting perspectives from those of you studying that, referring to one other text will not other that...

Are your prescribed and "other" texts on the same topic? That will help, just in case... =O

(Students in my elective can choose different texts of different whatever's to emphasise history and memory.)

According to our teacher, news articles on the same topic are only considered as one text.
This is so people who have done an entire book or film are not disadvantaged by people who just do articles.

Depends on what you say in that amount of words? Most tend to be around 800-1000 though, don't they? Most of the people I know tend to do around the thousand mark. I am an INCREDIBLY SLOW WRITER so I tend to be around 800ish. =(
