    Shortlisted for Young Writers Showcase

    it might also be difficult to attain high marks in the EE2 course if the inclination is to undertake a work that you feel might be received well by the markers. It might be troublesome if you attempt to write a postmodern short-story in an attempt to gain higher marks should your skill not...

    Past EE2 students: Did your MW undergo a "makeover"?

    all of the 2006 EE2 students would benefit greatly from taking heed of what lynn says, she's wonderful as a positive role model for students undertaking the course. your concept is best not to be held tightly at this stage of the course. Ideally, a basic idea or concept would be most preferable...

    Shortlisted for Young Writers Showcase

    i am inclined to defend Kami's response, though there is probably a middle-ground in this argument. The BOS showcase is derived from what is considered the most compelling and/or intriguing works of the candidature, and those deserving of a high mark and in turn a favourable contribution to the...

    Subjectiveness of Poetry

    your cause for concern is certainly valid. However, this might not be as prevalent as in past HSC years. As has been said in other threads in this forum, more emphasis is placed upon process, forumlation and refinement of a concept. This indicates that if sound development processes are observed...

    Shortlisted for Young Writers Showcase

    wow, was that the student that changed to a performance poetry piece using economics research or something? i seem to recall someone inquiring about a subject like that

    Novels on Aboriginal Australians

    i'm not entirely sure to what extent these might be helpful, but as far as i know, Cloudstreet from Tim Winton does involve Aboriginality, and also I think there was a play on the drama syllabus from Australian theatre that might be helpful, it might have been 'No Sugar'

    Shortlisted for Young Writers Showcase

    perhaps a number of the letters and things havent reached those that have been shortlisted yet, that's always a possibility, though all should be revealed throughout the course of this week. Unless the letters are mailed to the school

    Song/ Pref Poetry

    i'm not entirely sure if there is any form of documentation on the subject, though I think it would be alright to sing your poems, though I don't really think the singing component i.e quality, pitch, tone etc. will have a bearing on the markers. I think perhaps if you can demonstrate control...

    2006 poets, where art thou?

    I think katie is correct in saying that poetry is very accessible in terms of plagiarism, though perhaps it is a similar sort of issue in other forums. Bear in mind the candidature for poetry is rather small, and perhaps it's simply a case of those that are involved might work very...

    2006 poets, where art thou?

    might i inquire as to whether you are or have previously undertaken EE2? I assure you that undertaking any medium has it's own complications, and poetry is perhaps no different. The possibilities of the form are amazing, as evidenced by the differences in works from 2003,2004 and 2005. While...

    2006 poets, where art thou?

    perhaps it is not so much a case of no student expressing an interest in poetry for this year, it might take a little while before any student might feel entirely comfortable in a single medium, bear in mind that a number of students in the poetry forum last year did not remain for the entire...

    also, I'm sorry for being rather late in my congratulations, but congratulations Kami for acquiring a BOS man stamp of approval, you really really deserve it

    The offical EE2 bitch and procastination thread

    I haven't contemplated the mark of my work a great deal. I've been sort of preoccupied with attempting to extend it, though it is difficult without the impetus of HSC marking

    "Young Writer's Poetic Licence" - SMH 13/11/05

    oh, i'm sorry. I had an idea that it might have been gorgo, though I wasn't entirely sure.

    "Young Writer's Poetic Licence" - SMH 13/11/05

    I was fortunate to have read an article from the SMH today featuring Chris Summers, who appears to be an amazing writer, considering the accolades he has achieved. I felt it would be fitting to offer the story to those of this forum...

    2006 poets, where art thou?

    Illoduous is very very correct. I think i might have said before that it may ultimately be a case of the mediums choosing the students as opposed to the students choosing the mediums. Engaging in EE2 is an artform, and it will be a product of your desires, influences and perceptions, and I'm...

    2006 poets, where art thou?

    it's a litte bit saddening at the lack of candidature in the poetry medium this year. I'm sorry Alan, i wasn't able to sort of back you up any sooner. I would encourage any prospective student in EE2 2006 to at least consider poetry as a medium. It seems to be subject to some sort of prejudices...

    Trade Weighted Index

    might it be that the TWI (a weighted basket of other currencies) falling is a reflection of these currencies depreciating? which might be an indicator of a slowdown in global activity? I haven't ever really been confronted with a question like that, so it is only an assumption
