My second assessment was an oral on how one of our prescribed texts and another related one reflect the notion of the individual in his/her social contexts and to evaluate how the values of that era affected the text on how it was written and recieved. It gets better: they examined us to see if we actually listened by making us write afterwards (assessable) a reflection statement on the speeches of our peers and what we have learned. They're putting us trough the grinder...I only think its going to get worse....
That's exactly the same as our assessment, except we have to to do it on two related texts, with reference to how they relate to prescribed ones. We have to do reflections too, on all our classmates as well as ourselves-- I HATE handing in opinions on my own work! I never know whether to make it sound great, in which case you might seem arrogant, or whether to sound modest-- in which case they might think, "Well, if she doesn't think it's fantastic..."

how much will you write in the hsc? and will you talk about all six poems (for Browning) and all six eps of P&P? and how on earth are you going to integrate everything?!?!
I'm not doing Browning, but I've been thinking about P&P as a full movie, as opposed to six separate parts. I always thought I'd refer to all of them, because its only one story, but I hadn't considered dividing them up before... maybe I should casually slip into an essay the fact that I know the medium is 'media' and not film?
