making up quotes (1 Viewer)

[juber]

I just have a general question to ask...

If at any point, your brain is in deadlock and you cant think of any appropriate quotes, how viable is it to actually make one up to support wat your saying?

Like I mean its not something you would go in intending to do, but like if you were to make up one or two quotes to suit your needs, how do you think the markers would take it?

Like do you think that they wouldn't really know because unless they specifically go out and read the book again just to prove you wrong they couldn't know.

Its something Ive always considered doing but have never done it...

depends on what your doing...like, for AoS, its totally cool to make up your entire extra material...but i wouldnt do it for your actual texts, remember the markers are all experienced teachers, they will know the texts inside out and back to front..and it is marked twice, so if on the off chance the first marker doesnt pick it up, the second probably will

Yeh, I agree... AOS you can bs till your heart is content. But don't make up quotes for the other modules. You can alter them slightly though, which is a bonus.

 

[hipsta_jess]

yeah...for the modules, if you want to fudge quotes (only do this when TOTALLY necessary, prob no more than once per essay at the most) put lots of ... in

this guy in my year made up all of his quotes for poweplay- and came second in the year- the name he used (of where the quotes were actually coming from) was his grandfather

and it is definately better to put down a mildly wrong quote rather not to put a quote in at all because you can't remember the exact words

I make entire texts up, so i don't see whats wrong with using your creativity to add a few quote here and there.
