Don't mean to frighten you. But doing a creative from the perspective of an animal (or inanimate object)... is a bad idea.
Lol I didn't get that bad in trials for the same creative so idk where you're getting this anti-advice from.

because dickinson was a reclusive bitch, I'm sure an adaptation just needs to be something involving a reclusive bitch..yes??

I'm slightly worried on the "AN unseen TEXT".....15 mark essay on this haha

Okay I had a heart attack when I read this, but then did some research

This is what the assessment and reporting from the Board of Studies says:
Paper 1: Area of Study (40 marks)
Paper 1 will be marked out of 45 marks and the mark for each candidate will be converted to a mark out of 40.
Time allowed: 2 hours ...plus 10 minutes reading time.
The paper will consist of three sections.
Section I (15 marks)
• There will be one question to the value of 15 marks.
• This question will consist of a number of short-answer parts.
• The question will be based on unseen texts related to the Area of Study.
Section II (15 marks)
• There will be one question to the value of 15 marks.
• Candidates will be required to compose or adapt a text for a specified context, purpose and audience.
Section III (15 marks)
• There will be one question to the value of 15 marks.
• The question will require a sustained response based on the Area of Study and prescribed texts.


I think they are just fucking around with troll English

nah it's ok one of the bos exemplars a couple years back was from an animal's perspective (well, in third person)

it's only a bad idea or bad writer that screws it up

and it's only the 'that bad' in your response @ cecily that worries me lol, hope it is just an overly modest 14-15

i don't really care anymore, I'd be happy with a score between 80-89 which is like a raw of 65/100 i think from 80...so it should be k, Do people recon modules will have different text types?

its likely that whoever wrote this has no clue about the exam format and is just using phrases like "adaptation of a studied text" (lolwut) just to make the board sound professional, or w/e.

What does it mean by adaption of a studied text! WHUT! T_T
I'm assuming the adaption is incase the stimulus is an image, poem or song sort of thing in which you need to draw upon common themes in your creative piece.
