the focus of the question is to make an assessment based on your own opinion. the time you spend talking about resonances vs dissonances should reflect in your thesis statement.
and what are you gonna say so im gonna talk about resonances and disonances separetly? that defeats the whole purpose of mod a which is synthesised textual conversation. in your thesis statement for ur resonances paragraph what are u gonna say oh yeah texts dont collide?

youd think there would be some sort of clock simulator online which starts at an input time but i couldnt find any
I feel like ur better off practicing how to allocate time to each section no matter the time, cause in the hsc I don’t think ur gonna start at 9:50 on the dot

Guys what are you memorising for Mod C? like a discursive that is adaptable, cause i hate the prescribed discursive I have so I only have a imaginative
deadass i've never memorised for creative pieces before, I always do mine on the spot just by making something up

honestly i have no idea how to prepare for mod c other than making it up on the spot because what can i even memorise esp for imaginative that could be adaptable idk bc what if the stimulus is just random as fuck

its hard to memorise purely becuase they could ask the most random bullshit ever
i suppose the only way to rly prepare is just answer practice questions to give u an idea of what its like, that's what ive been doing

can u give out tips i can never get past a 14 for mod c idk why
answer as many practice questions as possible just to give u an idea of what its like, it wont help in predicting what quesitons they'll ask but its important know the kind of vibe if u know what i mean (also ask people for feedback!!)
for creatives i recommend not have an incredibly convoluted plot line, keep the moment small but impactful, and try not to go overboard with dialogue/not introducing too many character etcs
for discursives you should aim to at least have a few real life examples within ur piece so it gives off the "exploring different perspectives" vibe like in the rubric, for example if im writing a discursive on like the power of art or some bullshit i could include a reference of that time banksy shredded his own artwork at an auction etc. etc.

i get marked down for not adapting enough but ig its bc i blurt out my entire memorised piece so i think i should start making one on the spot related to the stimulus that involves my idea but doesnt involve me blurting out every line, thank you!

ur welcome!
yeah memorised pieces tend to get mark down because markers 'recognise a pre-written piece', ive gotten marked down for that in my main essays which is why for the hsc im foccusing on only memorising quotes instead of full essays lol
i should also add that in creative pieces its important to have a personal voice/flow to ur writing, its incredibly hard to think of something unique on the spot but u could def get inspo from something personal that happened to u irl or the plot of a novel u read (not like they'll know anyway, one kid in my grade basically copied attack on titan once)
