    counting one unit of eng ext and one unit of adv

    i don't think they discriminate the papers, I think they just half whatever your overall hsc mark is and count that towards your uai.

    which out of the three essays should be done first

    Frontline Episodes

    our teachers tell us to know ALL the episodes, but choose TWO for the exam and explore them in detail . . . makes sense to me, quality over quantity.

    Section I- Text 3- "The poem"

    i think the poet used the dog as a metaphor, in order to explore the smells of the place. I thought it was kinda obvious when it said something about a wagging tail at the beginning. I don't think that it was overly important to answering the question though.

    Hated Section One?

    it just sucked. took up too much time.
  7. M

    Least Favourite Text for section one.

    that mother story was annoying . . and the lack of techniques, its like they purposely asked a techniques question for a text thats plain.

    Coleridge - Help?

    you can probably mention the links but its not a big deal . . . so long as you argue your thesis for each text effectively, there shouldn't be a problem.

    For people doing Coleridge as core text

    its highly unlikely that they'll specify. It would screw too many people over. They just wouldn't do it.

    Topic Sentences?

    topic sentences actually need to be relevant to the point you are making in your paragraphs. They should basically summarise the point you are making in each paragraph, so whilst its good to use the above phrases such as "transcending reality", you need to make sure that they are relevant to the...

    Muckup Day/Week: Ideas, Photos Etc

    Re: Muck Up Day at my school we had kids all set to trash the main quad at about 7am. We'd managed to block the passageways with glad wrap and chucked toilet paper around everywhere . . . . it only lasted half an hour, the deps came and took it all down. we'd also done the usual honey and...

    Should we leave time to read/check your essays at the end?

    leave time to check. better to refine what you have.

    great plan, looks good to me

    Help a failure in Creative Writing

    as long as you show some kind of a progression in the thought process, its a journey. You could locate it on a train/airport but it would just be awkward if there's no purpose of that location - set it somewhere where it makes sense.

    raw marks?

    qft

    raw marks?

    iono the above kinda of raw marks/hsc marks correlations sounds a bit too high im my opinion . . .

    Techniques found in newspaper articles??

    extensive metaphors to ridicule politicians.

    Protection question

    its definitely micro.

    Would I be shooting myself in the foot if I write about a snail for my creative?

    i really wouldn't do this story, even though its original its not the kind of "sophisticated" material HSC markers want. They're picky and you don't want to take chances. It really is up to you though, I think it'd be best to run it past a teacher and get their opinion on it.
