My creative fit in well with quote 3 however i didn't write it in the creative. Also, i made no mention of which quote i used.
Am i screwed?

It has to be the "central element of your writing"

 

[Acturial]

It was the central element. But did we have to write it ?

 

[procrastinator2]

I wrote it but added a couple of words in i dont see why you wouldnt just write it ?

 

[kietkiet]

What do they mean by central element ?

Does it mean it needs to be emphasized in our story or does it just have to been incorporated into it ?

I used the first stimulus to describe a cafe and I referred to the cafe like 3 times. Is that central enough ? lmao

 

[Acturial]

i forgot to include it and i also forgot to make a note of which one i chose.... SHIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

I used the first stimulus (the other text one) and I didn't write it exactly, although I did mention the "afternoon sun" and the "belong to another world" bit directly.
In most years the markers comments say that the best answers dont use the stimulus in a literal way so i tried not doing that

As long as its obvious which one you chose its fine to not mention it. The 2009 one was a similar question and in the notes from the marking centre they said some students used themes from two quotes and that was fine.

I used mine to open my story which will probably loose me marks though

And then they say you have a pre planned story

 

[knxd]

No

 

[bunnypacman]

where does it say this?

I can't remember off by heart which years, but if you go on BOS they have a document of markers comments for every years english exam

Were we supposed to highlight the quote in some way to identify it in the creative?

I don't think so provided you used it adequately, the marker should get it. But I noted the stimulus I used at the top just in case.

"Central element" is pretty vague. It means you didn't have to quote it in your story directly. I used the first one, it was central to the setting up of my story and its themes and I returned to it later as a metaphor to underline my point. I added words and altered it a bit, the quote in its original form was too simplistic and wouldn't not have fitted my writing style.

I used the quote literally, just slipped it into my pre-prepared story where it fitted best. I'm stuffed :/

 

[Candidate]

I had item number 3. I just opened my story with the first sentence of the quote, and used the "road" as a motif in my story.

 

[hyperr]

I used quote 1 literally too, and as long as it fits, then its OK
mine was about an albino girl in tanzania, telling a journalist her life story as she is about to die from HIV/AIDS

 

[kewon]

for everyone who slipped it in i hope you used protection

 

[iBibah]

You don't HAVE to include the quote, otherwise what do they expect for the picture.

 

[Jimmy2064]

yup same

 

[ejayeh]

its a central element so you just had to keep on refering back to the quote not mention it directly. thats what i did anyways.
