Preparing the AOS- essay (1 Viewer)

[velox]

My teacher said text by text was rather unsophiscated for a class of our calibre. So i try not to do text by text analyses.

Are you in Advanced or Extension 1?
Or by "class" are you referring to the Advanced candidature in general?

The task is a synthesis essay. Dont expect close to full marks if u arent synthesising your information, most people who do it in chunks get 14/20. Also half the marks are allocated to coherent structure and articulation, so it's no longer yr 7 type of writing that will get you through. Goodluck.

I guess if you do it in chunks but do it well, you could get 17/20...

Hmm...was that purely text-by-text or with integration/connections being made within each?
How did that work for you?...if I recall, you got 96 in English?
Did you use an integrated response for the Advanced modules though?

connections made between them
mostly between related texts and main text
96? i wish. 94

94...96 - I'd be happy to get either mark

I'm training myself to write at least 4 pages in the forty minute time period.

My hand hurts.

Other people can write 8. Which is crazy...but it does happen.

BTW. Good job zahid.

Depends on how big your writing is and how many lines there are to a page: I noticed that lined A4 paper has 38 lines, but BOS booklet paper only has 20 - so if you can write 4 A4 pages, then you should comfortably be able to write 8 pages in the HSC
