I hope they give stimulus material instead of quotes in the creative writing. quotes gives too much of a restriction.
for part 3, how much is 1500 words written? i was thinking of sticking in between 6-7 pages (i think each booklet has 7 pages total)
i think if you have too many techniques already in your head you tend to 'list' instead of having a cohesion of ideas. it would be better if you just have a smaller number (small as in definately less than 30 lol) and analyse those in more detail.
one thing im dreading is having to waste time reading the passages in part 1... i tend to kind of skim read, which means i have to go back and read it again, thus wasting more time.
With 6 or so words a line, 10 pages is my 1500 roughly.

Depends on your type of journey. Inner journeys was "unexpected encounters" I think.

okay i write about 6-7 words a line.
i dont think ill make 10 pages in the exam because i tend to go over the time limit since im very slow. Although if we did have more time i think i could write more.:rolleyes:

Question 3 (15 marks)
Focus — Physical Journeys
Texts may show us that the world of physical journeys involves unexpected detours.
To what extent do the texts you have studied support this idea?
In your response, refer to your prescribed text, ONE text from the stimulus booklet, Journeys,
and at least ONE other related text of your own choosing.
