what if they take the piss and mod c is a 20 mark persuasive

DO NOT PUT THAT INTO THE UNIVERSE RN BRO

 

[lyingsalsa]

id also like to point out mod c is only 20% of the entire paper, if you can get an extra mark in everything else you can probably nullify the effect of bombing mod c on ur atar

i full expected to fail mod c during trials but it ended up being my highest so i am fully relying on it now but i cant write discursively so im gone if they specify that

did you see the "there is light at the end of the tunnel" thread? Maybe you shouldn't look

how many quotes does everyone have over the two papers? feeling like I need to cut down asap

 

[radagastthebrown]

Discursive translates to persuasive pretty easily, I just add high modality words, maybe some personal pronouns, some more repetition and avoiding common discursive language such as 'maybe', and 'perhaps'.

I also found a really good method of (if you've only prepared discursive, or more comfortable writing in that manner), translating your discursive piece into imaginative, by delving into a character's thought process and starting with a very explicit imaginative opener, returning to that setting, but mostly writing discursive.
