"Tuesday's two-hour paper for English Standard and Advanced has three parts: short answer questions about an unseen text, a composition on or adaption of a studied text, and an essay based on the area of study, Belonging."

An adaption of a studied text as a creative? Whut. The. Fuck. What do?

"an unseen text"
Only 1 text?

plz be a typo or something

 

[eshdawg]

15 marks on 1 text, i reckon that would be better.

 

[eshdawg]

but the creative WHAT!

 

[Fake-Name]

Why would they reveal it? isn't that part of the test?

by "composition on or adaption of a studied text" I hope they mean a stimuli they will give us (like past hsc creative sections). I studied the Immigrant Chronicles, and the only option I see is to change my character's name to Peter Skrzynecki.

The 'Questions on an unseen text' I'm hoping is a typo rather than a whole restructuring of the paper.

I don't like change...

What the hell did I just read. I am actually about shit myself out the roof.

 

[oscarmanutdfan]

[Jaymay]

Have to quote Prescribed text somewhere, in a speech

The complete 'rumour mill' fuckage

 

[Skriker]

WHAT

brb changing all my characters' names to Dick-in-son.

START FREAK OUT NOW?

What do they mean by 'adaption of a studied text'?

 

[Midnight_Lotus]

"composition on or adaption of a studied text" > Text can relate to anything like a phrase or image so it will probably be the same as previous years (although studied? unless they mean the area of belonging), I think the unseen text was just a small typo, however they did word the sentence specifically with "an" so that it was "an unseen text" rather then "on unseen texts" so idk

 

[iRuler]

or maybe it's to throw everyone off, you know just in good humor

 

[GoodLuck]

"composition on or adaption of a studied text" CLEARLY MEANS A TEXT WE'VE STUDIED SO THEY WANT US TO ADAPT THE CRUCIBLE???

but that wouldn't 100% make sense as you can't write an adaption of a picture. you can adapt the picture in a story but you can't write an 'adaption' unless it means like a story/poem/whatever but fuck me i hope you're right anyway

 

[Interdrama]

I freaked out for a moment, but have you noticed that a lot of the trials from random schools have creative stimuli that come from the unseen section? That might be what they're referring to.

how would they know which text we studied? i did dickinson but my creative's cultural .. so i guess i can relate it to romulus my father
