    Whats the name of the King Lear production at Bondi???

    Are we talking about the Edmund in those skin-tight leather pants? If so, Ew. Tight leather pants! And that wasn't Denley. Though I've been saying that in all my essays, because its Bondi and it's a girl director, haha... but if you read about the production of Denley's it's not the same as...

    Conflict in Indochina Essay Questions & Historiography

    Yep They did ask that in 2001. The main section where the media is concerned is igniting the anti-war movements that eventually saw US withdrawal. Our teacher taught us media for weeks (at the expense of other things; we ran out of time to do Cambodia) and all the resources came from the...

    Germany As A Totalitarian State

    You really need to research the intentionalist and structuralists arguments for whether the Nazi state was Totalitarian or not; the former thinks it was, the latter disagrees. You need a lot of quotes to back you up. I did this essay for the half-yearly and continued that argument throughout...

    What possible questions they may ask?

    I so hope its on totalitarianism because I know a ridiculous amont about that and think its so good to argue... my teacher said it too; I wonder why everyone agrees?? Other probabilities are successes and failure in war... I don't think there will be one of consolidation of power because...

    Timing.

    30 mins question 1 and 2, 45 question 3. I got to relax a bit. But my section 1 sucked. It always does...

    Question 3 | 4 | 5

    Yes twas a lovely question... but I expected it to be something really generic anyway. I am SO glad they didn't ask us to refer to a specific stimulus or coleridge. But yes, lovely question. But yeah, very easy. Nothing to distinguish the really bright 99.whatever's from the 95's or 90s.

    Confess. How many pages did you write?

    Keep practising. Also look at different pens. Having a really good, glidy pen makes a huge difference to how much you can write. See if you want to write differently. I write a completely different way when I'm doing an exam.

    Confess. How many pages did you write?

    Q1: Don't remember. 3 pages for the 5 marker. Q2: 10. Q3: 16. Largish handwriting.

    Coleridge - Ancient Mariner

    Best diagram ever.

    Jouneys or IMAGINATIVE JOURNEYS

    In a perfect world they'd ask for Coleridge, 1 stimulus, 1 related.... *fingers crossed*

    Will I lose marks...?

    I guess if you do the two aspects well enough you won't lose marks; you'll only be slightly at fault if the quality of canditates this year are really fast writers and get more information in than you. They do say quality, not quantity... but I'd at least try to make reference to the third to...

    anti's Guide to Writing Creatively

    Not unless they ask. But they CAN ask. What they're really looking for is how your understanding of the journeys in the texts you have studied is reflected when doing your own composition. But they can, for instance, give you a line from Coleridge to open with or ask you to include Text x...

    People who got >90 in subjects: how did you study?

    Like any subject, it scales according to the canditates that do that course. Ie, if the person's bottom ranking is 10%, then the course will scale you down. If the bottom is something 60%, it won't necessarily. The subjects that tend to scale 'up' are extension subjects and the sciences, because...

    People who got >90 in subjects: how did you study?

    I'm class of '04 but what I'm doing (in hope of getting at least 90+) is nutting out the syllabus, figure out what they're gona ask me. I do this for english 2u and 3u and drama, but some other subjects, like history, are a tad difficult. Just do past papers. Know how to manage your time, and...

    Poll: Would you drop english if you could?

    Definitely not, I love English.

    tricky creative q's

    #1: It basically means used the conventions to carry a wider implication, as Anil's Ghost does with Xenophobia, war and the breakdown of humanity; or Skull beneath the skin does with the amorality of the rich; or Snow falling on Cesaers does with racism. We had a really similar question in...

    Trial Results

    I think I got 46/50. First in the class. I got 25/25 for my essay but I always seem to stuff up the composition... I don't understand it, I'm so creative. I can never get more than 21 or something. Why oh why.

    story names

    Just keep changing it until it feels right. I had about serious 15 name changes.

    Is English Ext 2 moderated in the same way?

    Of course. And it scales you excellent to. But as Ur_inner_child said, you do about 3 assessments and the logbook as well as the majorwork so you still get rankings, etc. It's exactly the same as any other subject... except amazingly better because there are no in-class essays or anything...

    Liberal Studies

    Maths is compulsory for the first semester, so you may be quite a bit disadvantaged having not done maths, but its not a prerequisite, so you can still get in, and drops the maths (I think) after 1 semester. Iwas really interested in doing it too because its for people who have a lot of...
