Probably keep social media unless if it really distracts you from school work. But even then, there are many ways you can not get distracted eg. putting your phone away, using certain apps. Social media is also good if you work with others eg. we have fb groups where we post questions and stuff
IMO without social media I'd go crazy, I need to stay updated with what's happening at school, with my friends (snapchat lmfao) and most importantly: the memes. I don't think it's a good mindset to completely detach yourself from society and live in a technologically isolated lifestyle which may even contribute to burning out lol...
Honestly depends what you use social media for, and how much time you spend on it. Having class study groups where people post questions can be helpful if your peers answer (+ faster feedback then relying on a teacher for example).
), even though i handed in a draft for it a week before submission, hoping i could reach 95%+. My teacher only had one piece of feedback to give me, and it was about the formatting of the proposal (I used dot points in it, but they said it would be better to use numbering, so I changed it). However, when I got it back, i was given my mark along with about 10 pieces of feedback which weren't given back with my draft i handed the week before! Am I crazy? Is this normal practice for most school's english faculties and am I just being too fussy? Or should this not be happening?This sometimes happens in our school. With our last eng adv assessment, we had to write a narrative and do a reading task. With the narratives, we had to hand in drafts before we were given the assessment task. Using my friend as an example, they got extremely good feedback from our teacher and basically had nothing to improve on. When we got our assessment task, they didn't even need to change it because it fitted perfectly with the question/stimulus. However, they ended up getting like 11 or 12/15. I don't know what they lost marks on, but apparently our teacher said that it depends on the teacher marking it whether they like it or not, and also she said that my friend's narrative was really good as a draft, but the fact that she did not change it at all made it so that it was only average as a final narrative. She also mentioned that teachers don't want to give you too much feedback because in the end you have to write the narrative yourself, but I find that a bit funny because she didn't give any feedback on my friend's, plus we didn't even have the assessment task yet.Okay guys, I've been having issues with my school's english faculty, but I'm also not sure if this is normal within schools.
I got my Extension 2 English proposal back and I only got 80% (rank 2/2
This has happened with extension 1 english in year 11, when i handed in a creative writing draft, which my teacher said was really good and that it was much less repetitive than my last creative (which was what i had issues with), and that the language was much more show rather than tell. And when I wrote it in the exam, i got 14/20 and was roasted for an overly repetitive plot line and odd language which i was told had been fixed through my drafting process!
I'm literally so mad and I'm honestly clueless with what I should do with English. I'm not getting the marks I want no matter how hard I try, and the teachers are not helping me achieve my best, no matter how much i ask them. I also can't get tutoring as my family can't afford it, and also I live rurally (6hr drive/8hr train away from Sydney), so tutoring options are extremely limited in my regional town
Story of every student's life... it's ridiculous LOL why don't they give the feedback the first time lmaoOkay guys, I've been having issues with my school's english faculty, but I'm also not sure if this is normal within schools.

That's still a few terms away! Also it's not confirmed if it will be on but we'll keep you updated.
O.O
you can challenge someone with the old BOS trial papers
So insane!
We got this!
The HSC changes most people! Good luckSo insane!
But I'm not nervous, or anxious. Or stressed.
Instead, I force myself to feel grateful and it really helps! For example, I'm grateful that HSC is teaching me a lot about time management, waking up at 5am (on a 10 day streak with this), RESILIENCE (so important, but difficult...) and the importance of a clear mind. Before Year 12, I was, without getting too personal, living in my head A LOT. Of course, that's not good for mental health, wellbeing, etc. But HSC is good in the way that I'm forced to stay present or "in the moment" while studying or learning. Also, the issue with confidence... Before Year 12, I used to let one bad slip-up (doesn't have to be about school) or one bad mark ruin my entire day. But the HSC forces you to stay positive, no matter how adverse the circumstances.
Roll on 2018 cohort!
