THanks guys, do you guys know any poems, like famous ones that show discovery

Glad I'm not the only one caught in a quandary trying to find a related text for this bloody topic. I can't even think of anything. For every text about actual discovery there are a million on self-discovery.

guys serious questions, is it true that our HSC english will be marked more generously considering we are the first cohort doing the new AOS? IIRC some1 said that a 15/20 essay last year would be equivalent to a 20/20 essay from when belonging was first tested, is it true?

I do believe that we'll be marked more generously considering we're the first cohort doing 'Discovery'. However, I don't think that makers would be nice to the extent of a 15/20 essay being equivalent to a 20/20 essay. Even though 'Discovery' is the new Area of Study, we can still adapt some paradigms and concepts from the previous Area of Studies such as 'Belonging'. If you're good at writing, then you'll be able to adapt to any rubric or topic. So overall, I think we'll be marked more generously, but only marginally.

It's not our mark that will compensate for the fact we're the first to do discovery. It's the question.

but considering we will be the first to be tested without any prior resources or essays to look at, BOS might marks a bit easier.

 

[essayqueen]

Be very careful about relying on 'Journeys' resources for 'Discovery'; the rubrics are quite different

 

[essayqueen]

It wont be marked 'a bit easier'. Every cohort is marked based on their individual analysis of the prescribed and related texts and how well they answer the question. The fact that there is a new AOS will not change this.

This isn't officially correct, but it's not completely wrong either. For us 2014ers to come up with something that seems fresh and original to a HSC marker on their fifth year of belonging is pretty damn hard, whereas for you guys it won't be as difficult to present something new.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (If its not a perscribed text?)

Quick quesiton, do you guys look at prize-winning novels/texts to decide? How do you know if something is "appropriate"?

Look at the RUBRIC for Discovery (After the 24th I'll be looking at the discovery rubric/perscribed texts and offering my suggestions for related texts)

You should be able to draw links between perscribed, and related text
You should have different forms of discovery, i.e self, world etc (Whatever it says in the RUBRIC)

The related text doesn't have to win any prizes, you can do movies, picture etc..
