Extension English 2 Info/Help (1 Viewer)

Hi,

I dont if there's been a thread on this before but I have a couple of questions about Ext 2.

Firstly, what are the different types of major works you can do? Is it only a short story or can you do other things?

Also, if you do a short story is there a limit to the number of words it has to be? Or can it be as long as you want? If there isnt a limit does anyone know what the average number of words is around?

Thanks

Short story word limits are 6000-8000. Go over the upper one and you get zero.

You can lie about the word count, but you can imagine markers going through tons and tons and tons of short stories - they'll know if you're over.

Yeah, Board of Studies has alot of info on all subjects. I'd check there.

Also ask your teachers, they know better then anyone else.

What the hell. Short story?!

Yeah, short story. Novella's are about 40, 000.

6000-8000 is about 20ish pages typed. A bit more I think, but that's a rough estimate.
