    Start Major Work in Yr 11? Good Idea?

    All ideas come from different places but all ideas develop in a similar way. I was only using myself as an example. But whatever you're doing you should be following a similar process. Well, I just use the school computers and email it home when i need to. Haha, all of those things! I do alot...

    Start Major Work in Yr 11? Good Idea?

    I agree only to an extent. If you're writing a short story, i think some preliminary writing off the top of your head can have a really positive effect. If you right for leisure, you will find imagery/ideas/characters you like, then you can retain them for your eventual major work. I have to...

    Good/Bad things about your school

    GOOD Most of the Creative Arts/English teachers are awesome Common room is the size of a warehouse Near local shops ..that's about it. BAD Really bad management/administration Private School = treatment dependent on your surname or the amount of money Daddy's donated to the school. Lack of...

    ATTN: Photography for art. (Please help)

    im doing these massive collages for the MW, and i keep getting marked poorly for progress, because i can't physically bring them in to school until they're finished! i've brought in 2 of my 5, and am halfway through two others, so i took photos and stuck them in my VAPD, but according to my art...

    Subject Combos

    Mate, you're in year 10. Give it a rest, at least until you've experienced the year 11 workload. I think you'll make a more informed choice then.

    Start Major Work in Yr 11? Good Idea?

    and also, although it's not an assessment, you have a reflection statement to write which accompanies your major work when you send it off. dont worry though, Guage, the assessments are fairly easy. They aren't information or content based, they are simply articulating ideas concerning your...

    How can you get your English Examiner to "like" your essay?

    The best advice i ever got was from a teacher at my school, who's now left. He said, every English essay is based on the framework of... Concept --> Analysis --> Technique He said no matter the question or module, you can always rely on that structure. Kinda makes it a bit mechanical, but...

    Subject Combos

    tell me about it. but i'm cool, i've finished my Drama IP, Music and on my 5th draft of Ext 2. Major works aren't that much of a hassle if you're organised, and enjoy the subjects.

    Subject Combos

    Try doing all creative subjects (pretty muchos) Visual Art Music 2 Drama Advanced English Ext 1 Ext 2 7/10 units are creative. And English is compulsory. So out of my 'chosen' units, only 1 is non-creative. If only i did dance...

    to drop or not to drop?

    You musn't forget that you are also marked individually in your group performance, as well as a group. Besides, by this time of the year you will have completed the majority of your IP, no? Why drop it after all the effort? Have faith in the creative process, too. I'm the only 'performer' in...

    Romanticism Imaginative Response??

    I've done a few practices. Go to victorianweb.org and just start clicking links and reading. I ended up writing about a French prostitute living in Versailles at the time of the French Revolution. But I could easily adapt the characters depending on stimulus material provided. It's quite easy...

    Help - Music Students! [Music 2/Ext]

    Well, as far as I'm concerned, the markers aren't going to be THAT bothered. I think unless the piece is like some traditional Kiwi chant they'll probably just assume it Australian. Besides, we steal NZ's everything.

    Viva Voce

    *holds hand and dances around in a circle* That's the first time i have got 100% in anything since year 7. I got a 104% in music once. Apparently it was a scaling error, but i took it anyway hah! Good work Catherine, sure you deserve it :)

    Major Works- whats all the hype?

    Ask a drama student. They are marked seperately, and have no correlation with each other at all. The IP and GP are completely different to each other in every respect. I don't see why you wouldn't count them as two major works. My teacher does. The Board of Studies does. And as for Music, I...
