Question c, does it have to be in order?? (1 Viewer)

[smallcattle]

this may seem stupid but in part c of AOS, do you have to follow the order of prescribed text --> stimulus booklet --> two related texts??

 

[gordo]

nope, not at all

 

[ujuphleg]

yes you do. or at least, that is what we've been told

 

[gordo]

wat if u base your essay on theory and discuss texts spontaneously in different paragraphs.

 

[ujuphleg]

well then that depends doesn't it? did you do that in your trial? if so, did you get a good mark? and if yes, then is the person that marked it an HSC marker as well?

all i'm saying is, we have been told, discuss your texts in order. integrate into your discussion themes/techniques/links to question etc. and we are told this from people who are HSC markers for that section.

personally i reckon it should be fine to base on theory -- order of i texts is a pretty perdantic thing.

i did tha tin the trial, got full marks, and our marker was the head of the english teachers association

i dont quite get what you mean by that... can you give out some examples?

 

[gordo]

instead of proving your text is a journey bys howing how elements of it place the responder in another world (or watever your module is), show that those elements contribute to <insert theoriests name> theory of <insert theory> and how this highlights the main points of the theory which in turn provide insight into what ever question you get asked.

i don;t know, i am not the one to prepare essays, i wait for the question and then just draw on the plethora of knowledge we have been taugh during the year to create a intro/thesis which suits the question and show how my texts prove that thesis

No.

in fact let me say that again.

NO NO NO NO NO.

There is NO "order". They give you almost free reign to talk about the topic! Talking about them in a particular order may limit your response.
