ha i hate speeches too! ours was a narrative so i just rewrote a story i did in class.

i had about an hour left at the end and did 2 harwood poems, one stimulus booklet thing and 2 of my own choosing. the question usually asks you "...from textS of your own choosing" meaning you probably need more than one of your own texts. :)

and i have to do a speech right after trials infront of both advance english classes on 50th gate and 3 suppl. texts...grrr.....

an hour left?!!?!?!?

yeah....
the text in the exam said that.

My english teacher said
2 poems
1 stim
1 self text.

?!?!?!? and then in the book it said what you said! so me, drew, jess, mariana, we're all like "stuff it! he said 1! we're doing 1!!!" lol.

it was horrible...

oh...i'm praying i've got an narrative for BNW/BR or Lear tomorrow...actually..i want a narrative or Diary Entry, or Writing in a role for all 3! LOL!...
omg..i'm so unprepared! i know nothing!!!!

never rely on a teacher! lol! i just looked at past papers, stuff from board of studies (like specimen and last yrs) and other school's ones. you see theres a link and stuff with the questions.

i have the second paper for english tomorrow as well. :) i doubt there would be a narrative because all of the modules require a critical study of the texts so it would most likely be a report, magazine or newspaper article, essay or even a speech. :(

for example, in the specimen paper last yr it was:
"You are a visitor to the worlds of your prescribed texts. Write a personal reflection on the relationships between humans and nature in each of the worlds, and show how they differ in two texts."
so i spose you could do a diary entry for that one!

lear was an essay in the specimen and the actual exam i think.

anyway, good luck!!

Yes. You only USE one from the Stimulus booklet, but it is BETTER to preprare two. Then you would have a choice to two texts from the Stimulus booklet to answer the question given.

Our trial specified "two texts of your own choosing"...

I did Sky High, 1 Gwen Harwood poem (my excuse is 'At Mornington' is complex) and 2 texts.

my teacher told us not to do the door becuase it wasnt the best one we could do...translation...she didnt like it.

so i did The Door, the skzynecki poems we know...or are meant to know we havent finished them yet..., and 4 other related material...the only problem is i get to the end and i give up even if i havent finished my essay....i must deal with that one day...
