sure, section 1 was the same as always
section 2 as well
but the whole 'various viewpoints' in the essay Q? never taught/prepared for that. wasnt that hard to adapt to it, but it wasnt straight up 'easy'

 

[Buiboi]

what did you write about for sect 2?

i reckon the viewpoints was alirght...took me the 5 mins of reading time to digest and plan my response

 

[anniea89]

I screwed up the creative writing. I wrote two pages! I decided to do a blog but still...they definately are going to mark me down for length. Dammit!

The essay question was tricky, but I think that I did alright. Probably could have expanded alot mor eon my related texts.

Section 1 was weird and funnily enough, the last question was the one I thought I answered reasonably well

 

[Fish Sauce]

It wasn't too bad, I guess. I did the whole thing in reverse.

Not sure how I went for the six mark question in question one, but eh. That's the last thing I did. Don't think I could've written much more even with more time anyway.

I made up time with question two where I just did exactly the same story I'd written for a folio task and chucked in a couple of "I can't believe other people see this man as a role model" bits.

Question three was okay except for the "response to the texts" bit. I didn't know wtf that meant. Essentially I wrote an essay and after each text I'd say something like "this text makes the journey seem like it will cause you to lose hope so I saw it as sad". Not quite that bad but something along those lines.

I can never tell how well I've done for English, to be honest.

the last part worked out quite well for me.... for the last part.. i learnt a pre-prepared essay and every few paragraphs i wrote a few sentences relating back to the question to the teacher would think i was talking about the question

for question 1a) it said "identify" right? so that means if we only rote "car" the we should get full marks right??

 

[xclusv2bhung]

nope you gotta actually saw why because you're not being specific enough. because anyone cuold've just said anything they saw in the picture and be correct

 

[SoulSearcher]

[SoulSearcher]

[Fish Sauce]

Oh and for the record I'm doing Inner Journeys, with text being the poems from Imagined Corners. I focus on Ivan Lalic's Of Eurydice and Mudrooroo's A Righteous Day.

 

[Buiboi]

[SoulSearcher]

yeah only cause you think 14/15 is a fail

But I never get above 13/15 in english

 

[Buiboi]

hey you know how it goes prescribed text....for physical peter poems, is it one or two poems?...its two right?

 

[aricho]

shit i reckon my essay was pretty disorganised
story was ok but not very strong

 

[Fish Sauce]

my structure -

intro
poem - immigrants
poem - migrants
stimulus - ivory trail
additional text
conclusion

Mine was a bit different, but not much.

Intro
Poem - Of Eurydice
Additional Text - Watchmen
Poem - A Righteous Day
Stimulus - Wind in the Willows
Conclusion

 

[beentherdunthat]

My essay took me like 50 minutes to write!!!!
The Reading Response just sucked...
and the narrative was just weird, however I done the best thing possible, and tried to integrate the question into the answer... God, teachers these days want you to state the obviouss...

my links were like:

"similarly this text shows the journey to be dangerous"
"in contrast this text shows the journey to bring strength and resolve"

That was about it.

Crap.
