    AOS Essay Question

    They will probably only mark your best related, but if you've pushed it to 10 pages that should be enough content for them to give u the marks for one

    Is dialogue a film technique?

    Yes, but its one of the ones they don't like very much. (like descriptive language)

    Did we have write the quote in our creative??

    Depends, I refereed to mine at the start and the end, but not enough in the middle. I think they do mark down for using the whole things at the start (what I did), but not sure.

    Scanned Paper

    They pretty much said we had to take them, and if you don't want it put it in the bin, because it's a pain for them to store them.

    I read it as a child/descendent being the persona, and the picture being of a grandfather/great-grandfather

    Section 3 - Extended Response

    Sorry, it does say only one. They'll probably mark your best one. So depending on how much you wrote you could be fine. I've posted the paper here http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=312435

    Anybody else forget to tick "Tick this box if you have used another writing booklet"?

    Re: Anybody else forget to tick "Tick this box if you have used another writing bookl Our supervisor went though all of the check box stuff, etc. And they gave us time at the end to write student numbers, check checkboxes and write booklet numbers on the paper.

    Anybody else forget to tick "Tick this box if you have used another writing booklet"?

    Re: Anybody else forget to tick "Tick this box if you have used another writing bookl Did you write the number of booklets on the box on the front? If so you should be fine, its just another backup system in case they loose them.

    Section 2 - Creative Writing

    I'd actually did second person for one of my practises, and it came out quite well so when I saw the quote I though I'd give it a go. Probably could have done with a bit more action, but I felt it went quite well. (1 booklet + an extra page) Yes, although the narrator was a secondary...

    Section 1 - Stimulus

    Yeah, I was undecided between grandfather and great-grandfather, but I figured they wouldn't mark it down. I almost called the author in text 4 'she' though, luckily I checked the author's name...

    Section 2 - Creative Writing

    Yes, did you use second person?

    Did we have write the quote in our creative??

    As long as its obvious which one you chose its fine to not mention it. The 2009 one was a similar question and in the notes from the marking centre they said some students used themes from two quotes and that was fine. I used mine to open my story which will probably loose me marks though

    Section 1 - Stimulus

    That was the creased picture one right? I used the photo as a symbol of his connection to his great-grandfather and used other evidence from the poem to support how that influenced his identity
  20. H

    Section 3 - Extended Response

    Said that they weren't influenced by attitudes only by decisions (I used Skyrznecki and A Song of Ice and Fire). Realised halfway through that there actually was lots of evidence for agreeing with the whole question in Skrynecki, but had to keep saying there wasn't :/
