yes but it depends on the question, if the question doesn't explicitly say to refer to it in your essay you can address it thematically through each block paragraph

a bit lost, so you don;t even need to analyse eta style if the question doesn't say refer directly to the extract? but otherwise u can just incorporate it into other paragraphs thematically?

 

[kittyc4tkittycar]

oh god that is such relieve! so you don't' need to prepare paragraphs for all 5 poems!?

a lot of people arent

heres an example of the distinction, 2012 hsc vs 2020 hsc

so just prep 3 poems and whatever poems come integrate that extract within the prepared ones thematically or if lucky the prep ones will cover it???

 

[Emma Geng]

thanl lyou so much! but if 2012 a bit screwed

yep basically! but in the example above, for 2012 that wouldn't have been a viable option. But i doubt they'll force a poem that way.. heh...

 

[Emma Geng]

what would you do for 2012?

 

[yaveen]

guys can we use highlighters?

 

[Emma Geng]

oh you are a god send! let's hope its not 2012

That's my strategy as well. Mine is Preludes+Hollow+Magi and if a 2020 style come up for Prufrock and Rhasopdy I probably can only analyse what is given + context so welp. If it's 2012 then I am cooked, but my teach said we're not expected to know all 5 apparently so I highly doubt we'd get a 2012-style ones.

I can deal with a Prufrock stimulus since Prufrock is somewhat similar to Preludes and Hollow structurally, but a bad Rhapsody one would be the end of me

i second this. pretty sure the syllabus changed to accomodate that exact claim

Mod A Keats/Campion
Srsly if I get that 2012 one I'm actually going to crash out if it's not Ode on a Grecian Urn or Bright Star for poem.

 

[Tim8cash]

ur teacher said?

Yes. IIRC she said we are not supposed to know all 5 by heart, and recommends us to just roll with something along the lines of "3 by heart and other two a bit here and there"
However I am from quite a low-ranking school, so take it with a pint of salt. And she said it before the trials so it's in like July hence my memory is fuzzy.

the syllabus changed???

 

[kittyc4tkittycar]

yep, the current syllabus has been up since 2019 and finishes for the class of 2026
