    Year 11 - Discussion - History vs Science vs Social Science

    Umm, my favourite faculty is... e-e-English... History - I don't do one but probably history extension. Science - CHEM Social Science - Eco? Don't know. I like the concept of it, our class is just horrible at it. We honestly only finished supply and demand a week ago. And to answer your final...

    What do we 'hate' about Year 11? Come in and vent your frustration!

    Yeah see I think that was already my problem. I read the first two modules we were doing at the start of the term to get a bit ahead... turns out it takes a lot longer in class to cover what I managed to cover in an hour of reading.

    What do we 'hate' about Year 11? Come in and vent your frustration!

    Mm, the question I had for the essay today had literally no analysis involved in it at all. It was an 'explain' question. And an incredibly basic one at that. Our class is moving ridiculously slowly though, which is annoying.

    "auto mark" words?

    Back in junior school English it was 'resilient' for me. God, they loved it. Now I have to use fancy words like facade and onus. :frown2:

    What do we 'hate' about Year 11? Come in and vent your frustration!

    Kind of wish I did modern instead of economics. I'm not going bad at economics, it just feels like I'm regurgitating the text book. There's no analysis.

    Getting 39/40 in 2U today with everything correct except a line of working, which still gave the correct answer.

    How to study for my Ancient History essay?

    I personally like to make broad arguments that are easily adaptable to lots of questions. Make, say, 6 arguments, with the intention to use 2-4 of them (depending on the time allocation of the exam). I have a lot of friends (it's generally a female trend though I've noticed) who simply make...

    worst/best english novel you have ever read in school?

    It's really, really great. If you have trouble reading it (quite a large majority in my class did, as it's almost entirely descriptive), I would highly recommend downloading an audiobook and listening along while you read/annotate. Really do think about its context while you are reading it as...

    Am i allowed to pick advanced english or standard english or do they offer it to u?

    Re: Am i allowed to pick advanced english or standard english or do they offer it to Wow, I find that really limiting and kind of unfair. The school is only really being detrimental to itself, as I'm sure there are plenty of people capable of advanced who got band 4's and 5's in their SC. For...

    Fav 90s Song

    Closer to the mark. Holland, 1945 for me. Cliche indie rock band but to say I don't love it would be a lie.

    worst/best english novel you have ever read in school?

    Yessss, you're like the only other person I know who actually liked it. Also I just remembered we read Catch-22 in the HSC Ext. 1 course, and I've already read it and it's my fave, if that counts. And what's all this hate for Romeo and Juliet, it wasn't even bad. We went and saw the play and...

    worst/best english novel you have ever read in school?

    Heart of Darkness for Ext. 1 this year is the best novel (well, novella) I've got from school. Worst is either Feather Boy (oh God that was tragic) in year 7, or Holes in year 8. Everything from year 9 onward has been pretty good.

    English Essay Questions

    Umm, it was an in-class essay for me, so I don't remember it exactly, but it went something along the lines of: "Moral dilemmas cause us to reconsider our values, but it is our intrinsic behaviour that truly determines our moral compass." Discuss this statement, giving reference to both your...
