text types: speech, letter, review, report, feature article, newspaper article (unsure on this), interview, radio transcript (unsure on this), etc.

afaik u don't need relateds for anything besides module c (at least for me)... and they never ask for more than 2.

edit: just realised ur doing standard, so i have no idea. disregard my post ^^ and gl!

I would have at least two related texts prepared for Module A: image (i'm doing Truman), Module B like you said is a close study of text & Module C: institutions and the individual (also doing raw) you should have at least two related texts prepared..
as for the structure of Module A, essay.
Structure of Module C however could be anything.. i suggest just knowing your texts inside out and memorising the necessary quotes/examples.
A suggestion is know compliance/protest, whether the insititution encourages rehabilitaion and also the positive and negative effects each institution.

((Some suggestions for related texts (if you haven't already got them) are The Shawshank Redemption directed by Frank Darabont or Sleepers.))

I just called up that HSC line thingy, and the guy on the line said that if the question is worded "with reference to AT LEAST ONE text of your own choosing", then you will not lose any marks if you only refer to one text.

Is anyone doing the bush tucker man,stories of survival for module b?

when it says refer to your prescribed text, should i mainly focus on 1 or 2 of the 4 in my essay? I did a practise essay today and would struggle to go in depth on more than one in only 40 minutes.
