Preparing for a specified speech (Mod B) (2 Viewers)

[study1234]

How are you preparing in the case that they specify a speech? Also, is it okay to put the specified speech last, or do you have to put it first?

 

[Rectanglor]

Last year I prepared well for three and hoped for the best. For the remaining speeches, I did some analysis that I could have fallen back on if need be. And no, you can write about the speeches in any order you want.

I just wrote two paragraphs on each of the speech. About four of them are I think passable. The other ones are basically a pile of quotes and techniques with an insight stuck at the top... in case of an emergency. Bandler is my worst one by far since they asked that last year.

But would the specified text be like the main focus of the essay (hence using it first), or does it simply have to be used (i.e. using it last to draw links to the other 2 speeches)? Also how would you go about linking speeches like Deane or Keating to Sadat and Suu Kyi?

 

[obliviousninja]

I'm giving up on bandler, suu kyi. as they were the ones in the past two years.

How do you link the other speeches to Atwood?!?!?

 

[Web Addict]

The most likely speeches the Board of Studies will specify are Atwood's speech, Pearson's speech or Sadat's speech. I'll try to make two essays with those speeches only and try to memorise both of them. Hopefully, they don't specify values as well.

How do you link the other speeches to Atwood?!?!?

When I wrote my essay about Atwood's speech, I used it in combination of Suu Kyi's speech. I talked about the values of women and hope for the future for that essay. Personally, I don't think I can like Atwood's speech with any other.

 

[study1234]

Is there anyone else thinking of preparing 2 essays: one for Aus. speeches (Pearson, Keating, Bandler) and one for the others (Atwood, Sadat, Suu Kyi)? What kind of links can I draw between Atwood and Sadat?

That would be cruel indeed.

I'm gunning for pearson and keating.

I just want to know, but do the board of studies never repeat the speeches that they have used in the previous years? How come everyone is assuming that those used in the past years won't be used again?

 

[JT145]

Thank goodness they got the worst two out of the way (ie Bandler, ASSK).

Here's a speeches scaffold of themes that I made earlier. My mate also links religion with Keating (through the use of quasi-religious terms).

Note that I am aware that some of the totals are incorrect as I made some adjustments to this earlier.

Technically they are allowed to but I would think they would be rendered a little hesitant by the assumption that the students who actually care would have gone through past papers and already written practice essays on the speeches specified in previous years. Thus, naming a new one would prove more challenging.

 

[MrBeefJerky]

Fair enough, but wouldn't the Board of Studies realize that their method of selecting speeches will soon be discovered by students who will be able to figure out the remaining speeches? Hence the students will focus most of their efforts on those than the previous speeches which would prove more challenging if they haven't prepared as fully for them?

Or maybe that's what they want you to think....

Thanks heaps for that, although I'm scared that any links to Atwood (other than from Suu Kyi) would be superficial. What do you think?

Also, I've asked a lot of my friends and tutor, and they said you should start with the specified speech. Opinions?

 

[obliviousninja]

I'm sure if the bos is that mean, but if ask for role of women, you are essentially locked into doing 2 specified texts, cause you have no other option. Guess I will need to look over Suu kyi.

Role of women

are you serious

Too hard.
