opinion on journeys question???? (4 Viewers)

[housah0lic]

yeh someone mentioned something about a letter

i hate all text types. like i can handle an essay, it's so simple, but i would die if we had to do like an interview or a feature article. i just find it so much harder to answer the question

A letter or diary entry would suck, especially if you had to write to a set person in a set context etc.

I don't think the cretaive writing would be a radio interview. However for Section 3 of Paper 1, and Section 1, 2 and 3 of the Modules paper, you can gurantee at least one of them won't simply be a straightforward essay. Instead one will be a speech, radio interview, debate, feature article, review, etc.

yeah, that's a definite possibility.
2007 advanced english cohort got it easy though. Section 3 of paper 1, + all modules were essay questions, if i remember correctly.
my bet is section 3 of paper 1 will retain the essay text type, while one of the modules may be a speech, interview etcetera. preferably Critical Study.
and i honestly don't believe they'll make it harder just because it's the last year of Journeys. Markers may be more experienced than next year's, but the questions won't necessarily be harder. Like someone said, it has to apply to everyone, standard and advanced, so if they were to send out a giant 'fuck you' it would jeopardize state performance.

anyway creative writing i still hope it is hcnaged text type just so it throws everyone off and it will be = playing field imo and for paper two i reckon it most probably going to change module C if its going to be any of them well at least i hope so caus ei hate my essay for it

 

[Hollieee]

Yeah, I'll more or less cry if we have to do anything other than an essay. I'm just fairly shit at adapting.

They've apparently got a lot of english teachers up in arms about the proposed changes to the syllabus (which involve ditching the creative completely, and cutting the time for the ext 1 exams), so my teacher thinks they're probably not going to do anything to twisted and mean this year, because they've got a lot of shitty teachers already, and the last thing they need is more.
That being said, they might give us impossible questions as a big fuck you to the teachers...

nah man, the HSC was written like a year ago... our fate was sealed on that long dreary day... 2007
anyway, they cant change it cause teachers are angry, what do they care

 

[Dota55]

Despite what you guys are saying, I'm still adamant that they're going out with a bang.

PANIKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

Because if your teachers dislike or disagree on syllabus requirements from a personal but particularly an educational stance, its generally a sign theres something wrong with your proposed plans.

Like you know your government should pull its dick out of someone elses jungle when monks start burning themselves on film, infront of protest banners that are in English.

ROFL.

 

[hjp.]

im worried they will throw in a shit question for the creative - like not an actual story?
which worries me, because i have memorised a story, which i'd just adapt to whatever question
but if its something tricky....


and i agree the journeys question COULD be a tricky one, to finish off journeys..

but god, i hope not

ok for creative piece here is the track record since 2001-2007 of what text type has been
2001- magazine article story
2002- letter
2003- narrative
2004- compose piece of imaginative writing (so narrative)
2005- imaginative writing narrative
2006- narrative
2007- narrative

so essentially its has to be narrative cause well they havent changed it in over 5 years why would they now

All the more reason to change it if they want to surprise students since it is the last journeys exam

If we are told to make a letter, could it go:

"Hi!

I found this great story:

[enter prepared story]

Wow, I loved it?"!

Or something like that ?!?

[obimoshman1234]
