English Advanced Predictions/Thoughts (4 Viewers)

[lolcti]

Since I predicted 3/5 of last years questions basically word for word (https://boredofstudies.org/threads/english-advanced-predictions-thoughts.410787/), here are my predictions that you asked for. Keep in mind I haven't thought about English in a year, so this is purely gut vibes.

SHORT ANSWER
There will be 5 short answer texts:
1. Prose fiction
2. Poem
3. Prose Non-fiction
4. Prose Non-fiction
5. Poem

No images this year, sorry.

There will be 5 questions.
1 - 2 Marker (Text 1)
2 - 3 Marker (Text 2)
3 - 5 Marker (Texts 2 & 3)
4 - 4 Marker (Text 4)
5 - 6 Marker (Texts 4 & 5)

------------------------------

COMMON MOD ESSAY
Will be a question involving, how does your prescribed text ignite new ideas in regards to (smthg about paradoxes). This will be harder than it looks at first glance, as they'll ask for the paradoxes OF something, e.g. How does [your text] ignite readers to consider new perspectives on the paradoxes of (insert niche human experience).

------------------------------

MOD A
Feel like the idea of the authors context will be in the question. Maybe a 'To what extent'?? So maybe you'd be analysing the two texts, through the lens of their contextual epochs, which I think is somewhat tricky, but ultimately wouldn't require too many tweaks to a base essay.

------------------------------

MOD B
Going to be adjacent to the idea of structural integrity (maybe asking how a certain idea within the text is developed?).

------------------------------

MOD C
I can confirm, you WILL get a choice. Likely to be 15 and 5 marker.

I’m praying you’re right

Wait, just quickly, for short answer, is it better to do number of marks minus one for quotes or number of marks = number of quotes?

Minus one works just fine. As long as you analyse it well of course lol.

[Emma Geng]

what did u do for mod b? eliot? I’m planning to talk about Prufrock, Hollow Men and Magi (prepared a few quotes for the other two), but if the extract is Rhapsody or Preludes can I just allude to it thematically *with eta analysis*in my other paragraphs instead of having a standalone paragraph for either of those poems replacing Prufrock? good idea?

 

[Emma Geng]

also what are the hsc ranks released before atar???

 

[Kat.crazi]

if anyone has any last min questions lmk C:
