Is that possible cause I haven’t written one since like year 6

didn't u write one for hsc minimum stds in year 10. Well at least I did

 

[Study to success]

im fine with both, as long as they don't pull something from their ass and make us do a persuasive

lowkey I kinda like persuasive cause I can just go on random rants and argue about stuff. But it's just kinda hard to evaluate unless I evaluate like high modality language which is really bad to evaluate and me trying to gaslight people into agreeing with me

It's basically a formal one-sided version of a discursive. i've been told by my teacher that you are prepared for one by doing discursives.

can someone explain what a discursive is cause I've never done one and I've never been taught one so if they make us do it in the hsc I'm screwed. My teacher better teach us sometime soon. I have the opposite problem. Ik what a persuasive is just not a discursive

basically yapping but formalised
you’re just talking about your experiences with a topic or whatever and dropping random ideas

I’ve heard that it’s like u a persuasive but u have to take multiple sides or smth and then u can add like figurative stuff and anecdotes in it or smth. Idk I’ll figure it out later.

have you ever kept a journal or a diary? In my experience, I found discursive writing to be essentially just how one would write when reflecting on their own experiences.

Omg that’s so fun. I used to keep a journal in primary where I would write everyday. I still do occasionally. Wait I actually wanna do discursive now

You should keep one, my English teacher recommended to my class to do so because “it would improve our writing”.

they can ask persuasive text this year (idk about advanced) cuz they have asked discursives and imaginatives only questions before but never persuasives.

Yeah but they didn't ask imaginative at all last year whereas persuasive and discursive was an option.

Nvm I didn't realise you weren't referring to advance

Anyone who wants to become an actuariast. I would have done it if I was good at math but I suck so I can’t. But apparently it’s really stressful cause even after u get ur job every 2 years they make u do a test so that they can basically find every way possible to kick u out and hire new people instead

Sounds like a scam...

Discursive is pretty fun cause it's in between a creative and an essay. You're exploring a topic, and may take a slight skew to a certain position, but generally you're not meant to take a side like in a persuasive. It doesn't have to be something explicitly political either, for example I almost wrote about the Snowy Mountains for my one before eventually deciding to write about autism. The best part about discursive is you can be as playful as you like (amp up the sardonic humour), go off on tangents, as long as you eventually jump back to the main idea. Read Margaret Atwood's Spotty Handed Villainesses if you haven't already been prescribed it (it's fairly short) and you'll get an idea of what a playful discursive is like. Another example which may lean slightly towards creative but nevertheless has discursive humour is Nafissa Thompson-Spires' "Heads of the Colored People: Four Fancy Sketches, Two Chalk Outlines, and No Apologies", which is not a prescribed text for the HSC, but I found it through my creative writing subject at uni.
