braindrainedash 43 is really not bad at all! nothing really wrong with that!
i know though that it is really discouraging when what you hopedfor is a long way from what you get. The problem is that in 4unit english the marking can be so subjective that its hard to predict at all - that's what i felt - it seemed like everything depended on what they were looking for this year.
yeah braindrainedash, if you're brave enough to let yr creative work bear the scrutiny of a group of people who attempt to give something that close to you a cold hard numerical value, well done. i don't think you should feel too bad at all.
superboobies makes a good point about numerical values.
43 is not a bad mark, because I know others from my own school who have had marks in the 20s!
Don't feel bad about it, I know you tried your best at it and had a really good assessment mark, but your other subjects more than made up for it, in my opinion.
Nope... my english teacher said a collegue of his in sydney said that they really marked poetry ultra hard this year... did anyone else doing poetry find this to be the case?
