i got 15/15 for my trial one, and i wrote in third person with metaphors, similes etc throughout and had flashbacks/memories throughout.
this is what my teacher suggested
Examples of creative techniques:
Sense of voice of a narrator/persona ; authentic character construction; interesting plotlines/plot twists; clear construction of a scene or image to illustrate ideas of belonging/not belonging; using vivid description, figurative language like metaphor, simile, personification etc; effective use of chosen form (description, letter, journal, narrative, etc); interesting structural choices ; effective use of humour; effective use of dialogue; interesting word choice eg emotive word choice; experimenting with narrative style (other than the usual linear storytelling) / experimenting with different forms, genre, plot and character twists, sentence length to increase or decrease pace for a particular effect etc
‘May be derivative’:
Too close to TV or class handouts/Board of Studies samples. Students need to watch this- Use the ideas as stimulus perhaps but must not ‘copy’ too closely. Make your own ‘version’ in a fresh, original way
