    Why was Spartan women 10 marks?

    I liked how the marks were awarded. The agoge had to be worth the least because it was so specific, you couldn't talk about the agoge as the whole, you had to talk about specifically the role it had in boys education, so it was a prepatory for military training, it was evaluative for military...

    What marks do you expect/want to get?

    This is petty, but in recent years I don't think anyone in Fort Street holds anything over Baulkum (any more at least anyway). We stole your deputy. We stole your deputy....thats right I'm a mature, responsible year 12 student.

    Your thoughts on the exam

    CORE: My teacher had actually given us those questions in the assessment tasks from the core, but I carked it on the forum, forgot the Maccelum. We'd done the Lady of Oplontis with a different focus and we'd done the food questions very very thoroughly Spartan Society: Cakewalk. this is just...

    What marks do you expect/want to get?

    This is why nobody should ever start threads like this, I posted so I really can't complain and I didn't even see this happening (lets bring my marks down 1 or 2 for nto seeing this happening) To be absolutely honest I doubt any of us can really predict our marks because different schools...

    I was planning on burning them but my sister whos in the grade below ours and is doing the exact same texts with the same teacher next year stopped me, shes like you hvae to return them or she's going to hate me for a whole year, plus I don't have to do any of the class work coz I'll have your...

    Module C: Representation and Text

    I asked my English teacher and she said for Frontline we were supposed to ignore the human experience part because it fit into the other truth texts perfectly. Alternatively she said the human experience applied strictly to commercial current affairs rather than the media as a whole, that added...

    Final Comments:To Shakespeare et. al. (Farewell wishes-goodbye!)

    so glad someone mentioned stoppard, i didnt do R&G are dead,but I've read it. I reckon Stoppards worse than Shakespeare, at least Shakespeares old and we cant blame him for speaking weird, Stoppards just off his face

    What marks do you expect/want to get?

    my trials ended up Transformations 12 Skin of A Lion 14 Frontline 16 but those were just bad and I fell from like10th to 50th based off today im hoping for Transformations 19 Skin of A Lion 12 Frontline 18 huge reversal, but getting your questions made text specific makes a huge...

    Final Comments:To Shakespeare et. al. (Farewell wishes-goodbye!)

    Shakespeare, you said goodbye to us in the Tempest, but I wish that were the end, but you still have me in your power because I'm stuck with revenge tragedy for extension english

    Module B: Critical Study of Texts

    yeah i know I agree with you, its all very well and good 2 ask for 2 scenes in a play or 2 pieces of poetry, but 2 episodes in prose fiction is sooo unreasonable. Atleast Patrick was a central character so we're a step-up on cloudstreet. My teacher was absolutely useless as well, in school...

    Module A: Comparative Study of Texts and Context

    I actually feel sorry for everyone in the state with them breaking it up into text specific questions. I hammered this question so hard and absolutely everyone that did Chaucer should have. As far as Im concerned there was nothing other than moral responsibility that is common between the 2...

    Frontline

    I wouldn't takeanything I say as law, mostly cozI don't trust my teacher, but she says the syllabus support guide says that you're supposed to use media texts talking about media's representations of truth and then look at their agenda and how they do it. I don't know what love's little lies is...

    Ambiguous Questions

    I dont know about hte King Lear question, but I though it was just that it narrowed down people's arguments a litttle more so a (bad) memoriser will just put down their essay with parts of it obviously irrelevant, a good memoriser will have a decent essay but they'll be a little lost trying to...

    Easiest Test Ever!

    Agree with you all the way, wtf was up with that. wasn't going to bitch too much because pretty much nobody does In the Skin of A Lion. What really threw me off was asking for specific scenes, that's all well and good if you're doing a play but Ondaatje's scenes are like a paragraph before the...

    Easiest Test Ever!

    I don't think there is a thing I disagree with you about. I really wanted a stylistic piece because that's what people can't prepare for. What really bugs me about English is that everyone has prepared essays that their teachers have edited while anyone that goes in and wings it gets hammered...

    Section III - For or Against

    I agreed with it because I argued against my teacher so much she told me "Do you want to be right or do you want the marks, Just say yes" Personally I disagreed with it, but my argument would have talked about everything except speculation in the procsess so I said yes just so I would stick...

    Imaginative Journey Question

    I think you could probably have done I have A Dream, I did The Tempest The Ivory Trail I have A Dream I didn't intend on doin gthe Ivory Trail, I'd prepared Town where time stands still and as my backup Margaret Atwood. I made the flimsiest argument around speculation just being...
