+1The HSC is positivly marked, they can't 'take away' marks for anything, they can only give you marks for what you did right. A title is not necessary but can useful if used cleverly.
I don't know exactly what you mean by this but nothing is marked negatively, they do not take away marksYou don't need a title. A title can either work positively or negatively - if it ties really well into your creative and relates to the question/stimulus, then it will be marked positively.
However, the creative responses in English Ext 1 are supposed to be first drafts - so writing a title (that's not related to the stimulus) might indicate to the markers that it's a prepared response.
i hope your right about the first draft thing :S i always put titles in i cant believe it slipped my mind this timeYou don't need a title.

Yes, I'm aware of the positive marking scheme. What I meant is that sometimes titles that don't relate to the stimulus might not gain extra marks, and could give the marker the wrong impression (e.g. if the title doesn't relate to the stimulus/question at all, it might indicate to the marker that it is a prepared response).I don't know exactly what you mean by this but nothing is marked negatively, they do not take away marks
+1u dont need titles for creative wtf... Many people have gotten full marks and no title - its not a requirement of the rubric, so ur not marked on it.
In the words of Gus Gould "No no no no."It is 'Extension English' for a reason. You have no excuse for failing to encompass the conventions of short-story writing. I would be quite annoyed as a marker - because think about it, they open the short-story hoping to see a title (so their first thought is "no title?"). I think you would be penalised for the dot-point on form and purpose.
The marker knows that leaving out a title is not intentional - for some 'subliminal' purpose. It ties the story together - it completes it in a sense. Failing to write one should be penalised. That head marker sounds like a steel-brained neanderthal.In the words of Gus Gould "No no no no."
Look guys check out some of the standards packages, I can promise you, there are 25/25 markers with no titles.
My English Extension Teacher has been a past English head marker and she has NEVER told us to write a title.
If you use a title that you have prepared in the past, it suggests that the creative is a prepared response.The marker knows that leaving out a title is not intentional - for some 'subliminal' purpose.
