Know your content well for everything, but look at essays for crime and your 2 options. Those 3 essays are the biggest part of the paper. And evidence - cases, legislation, media reports, articles, anything! That + your evaluation is where the marks are.

Yeah Extension places emphasis on your own research and understanding. If you look at past papers it always says "texts" of your own choosing, thus 2 related texts. Always take in 2 related.

Okay this is making me feel better :)

Past papers won't help us haha. I've got an indepth syllabus summary of all 4 topics, a summary sheet of cases and legislation with links to syllabus, a summary sheet of essay questions extracted from the syllabus with brief plans and a summary of the themes and challenges. I'm going to study...

Ouch, that would be hard. 3 prescribed plus the expected two related. If that happens I might cry haha.

I hope they don't specify. I'll focus on 2 and take a third as back up just in case. Not exactly, I'm extracting the techniques, quotes, analysis, conceptual links etc from my best essay I did for an assignment and memorise those, so I can adapt the analysis to the question :) I'm memorising...

My extension english consists of myself and another girl. My school has ran it for us yr 11 and yr 12. It's public, co-ed, nothing flash, they just don't think we should be deprived of classes we wish to do. What your school is doing is unfair.

Any thoughts or opinions on the likelihood of the paper specifying a particular prescribed text for the essay? It usually has said just two prescribed texts and texts of your own choosing. I do Texts and Ways of Thinking, Romanticism, if it helps. Thanks :)

I focused one the "implications for society" part and used examples to talk about how technological development raises ethical issues in science. E.g. the use of radiation and its link with producing cancer for the fungus stimulus, then talked about genetic engineering such as cloning and...

For an English/Business orientated person, I'm just glad it's over. Never have to look at science again :) If I got a ban 5 like I did in trials I'll be happy.

Yup :)

HAHA this is why I dislike this is website, so many critical people. "Isn't this a "Hamlet Hate Thread"? Just saying... because no one really cares" Haha thanks for that :) I'll make sure to not put my opinion on a forum about all about Module 2 - which evidently was the most challenging module...

With the speeches unit, I prepared for Keating and Bandler but remembered 2 quotes and some techniques for Suu Kyi. This allowed me to structure the essay Suu Kyi through personal context, Bandler through personal context, Suu Kyi through social context (where I used quotes from the given...

Mod A - 6 Mod B - 5 Mod C - 5 10-12 words per line

Thankyou :)

I know, I'll either do better or worse but if I get similar then I'll be able to get a band 6? I didn't realise how the scaling worked until I saw this thread lol.

So if I got 91/105 (86%) in trials, I would possibly be able to get a band 6 in the hsc exams?

Yeah haha go the energy drinks. I have 2 cases of V in my fridge for this purpose.

I know how you feel. I didn't finish all 3 my trials. I doubt I will pull 15/20 for half a speeches essay again. I'm practicing writing out all 3 in 2 hours tonight :(

I highly doubt they will specify a speech...they have never specified a skrzynecki poem so I doubt they will specify a speech, especially when there are 7. I really hope they don't anyway...I'm preparing 2 and having 2 for backup.
