Generic essays seem to be a trend this year for journeys
Are you doing one? What type of journey are you doing it for.
Just trying to get an idea
I'm doing it 4 physical, Skrzynecki

mm hmm me too! Even if you've practiced alot of essays, its much better to walk into an exam knowing that you've got a prepared piece ready to mark.

Eh, kinda prepared. I make a list of concepts/techniques and an overiding theme for imaginative journeys so it's a matter of basically stringing it all together. You should've written enough practise essays that it all just flows naturally together

i think thats a good idea

thats wat im doing cause if u have a prepared u are often goin to go off track and that to the marker says prepared and u dont get as high as mark
considering that's wat the markers have kept an eye for this year

even if u adapt it, the points may not be the best to convey or support ur argument

yeh, my 2nd last internal assesment was a speech on journeys. So everybody is simply using that speech as the basis for their generic essay.....(As the speech itself was generic; they just said "talk for 8 mins about journeys")

I then transformed that into an essay outline.....(i.e in dot points) they are quite easy to remember.....Just recall each point in the exam and expand on it a bit...

Im doing a pre-planned essay for phys journeys. I just wrote up the main body of the essay so that Im sure I dont miss out any points for any of my texts...Should be able to easily adapt a topic sentence and ending to it.
