Which poems do you people like the most, and which ones do you intend to use for exams

hsc_is_scary · 1 May 2005, 11:00 AM

Joel 10X asked what poems people are doing. At Warialda we are doing 'Anthem for a doomed Youth' and "Futility". . . Both hopless examples.

IS ANYONE ELSE IN YEAR 12 STANDARD ENGLISH DOING BILLY ELLIOT? Or is this just my teacher's way of making English Hell???

joel_x10 · 3 May 2005, 9:35 PM

im also doing anthem and futility. Were doing raw for module c, i hate billy elliot but my mum loved the movie. Raw was a terrible but easy book

azza_3761 · 4 May 2005, 11:46 AM

Dulce et decorum est, Futility and The Last Laugh
In Module C our schools doing Raw aswell

Be careful, because the exam can specify any of the (six?) required poems. It's not likely that they will, but they've done it before.

azza_3761 · 4 May 2005, 2:46 PM

In all of the past papers that our teacher has given us we have always had a choice of at least two of the poems we could write about. He also thinks that the probability of three compulsory poems being required is very, very, very low.

**Iron** · 4 May 2005, 9:09 PM

But obviously possible.
Certainly focus particularly on a few, but dont ignore any, in case they specify the ones you know nothing about.

azza_3761 · 4 May 2005, 9:22 PM

That would require the same amount of depth of knowledge would it? Wat would u need to know about the others?

fush · 6 May 2005, 5:10 PM

you always have a choice of at least 2 but its best to know and be able to write aobut all 6 because they can specifically ask for one poem and then 2-3 of ur choice...

eg look at hsc 2002 paper i think, it was a quote form 'anthem for doomed youth' and you had to show how owen conveys the horror of war in it and use 2 other poems of ur own choice

another thing my teacher always said is that if they ask for at least 2, always do 3!! thats one of the steps to a band 6 answer

When i was doing owen I used 'futility' and 'anthem for doomed youth' because they weere the two I found easiest to remember. I wouldn't touch 'spring offensive' with a 10 foot poll if i could help it.

does anyone have any notes for the anthem of dommed youth and the send off?
