Retreat From The Global (4 Viewers)

[MunkeyMann]

RFTG used to really get up my skin but then i learned to not look too deep into it. most of the best analyses of the texts are obvious to see, u just need to elaborate on them. Creative pieces are gnna get to me tho. I think wrting as one of Quoyle's kids will be the best way to go. Maybe as diary entries, that is always good to try.

yeah i suck at creative and i just got a practice one back today from the holidays and i got 11 out of 25!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Did you get any comments with the story?

The alternative is to pm a copy if you want my critique

EDIT: The problem with a lot of EE1 creative pieces is that people try to be "too" creative and shove too much syllabus stuff in there. Not a good idea. You want a good, solid story in there - if you don't have that, none of your module-related stuff will work. Strong foundations make for a good house with all the trimmings

 

[joe1016]

yeah our teacher is pretty good with comments, she always writes a full page for ext tasks.

i knew it was shite, it wasnt really creative, she likened it to a lecture. which i actually expected to happen.

 

[joe1016]

so, no, i wont send u a copy of this one, but i am writing another one so i may do that one. if i think its worth it.

thanx anyhoo

A full page? Oooeee that is really good!

 

[joe1016]

yeah she is good like that we always get heaps of feedback if we want it. it help when we get notes like that. too bad i can never thjink of anything creative for english.

we should be allowed to create our own artwork and submit that as a text.

if we can analyse artworks y cant we make them?????

 

[mikhaila]

yay munkeymann!! seeing as we rnt allowed 2 mention are real names... well yes we got our creatives bak 2day and mine was also shit... 15/25 mmm the teacher pretty much told me what i thought was wrong with it but i was still a bit dissapointed, i spose it dosent matter this week coz the assessment task is going 2 b completly different but its concerning that im not addressing the issues properly or whatever... u suk ollie for cracking the RFTG code some of us are still scrambling!!! lol

 

[joe1016]

yay munkeymann!! seeing as we rnt allowed 2 mention are real names...





... u suk ollie

what are you on??????????? not mention reall names. im so confused right now

 

[mikhaila]

lol yeah i suk, joe u are such a bitch in this forum, its a good thing i know u in real life and can slap u for it later

 

[mikhaila]

i will show u mine if u want, its kinda lame but i suppose it could b worked with

 

[MunkeyMann]

Well, ur complainin about gettin 12 and 11 out of 25......I got 10/25 lol. so there, and im beating u both. altho i guess i was expecting it for sommin done the night b4. specially as i ued the word "nice" twice on the first page, she killed me for that. oh well, maybe ill adapt my advanced english creative piece to RTFG. it could work and i did ok on that....after they remarked it that is sry joe

 

[mikhaila]

Hey i am finally thinking about this assessment task which is omg on friday ahhh, and i was just considering the idea of writing as either bunny or sunshine....i think someone mentioned it in class the other day but i cant remember. i think it would b easier to act as one of them and set it in the future so you can make up their 'voice' rather than trying 2 replicate one of the other characters, do u rekon that would b risky though??

Well, i really have no idea what i will do but i think i might try and project something about the future of newfoundland and that through one of quoyle's kids rather than trying 2 continue on with the story as it was.... let me know what u think or what those of u from my class are doing lol bye!!

 

[joe1016]

well, that assessment is over and done with, we havent got our marks yet bcos our teacher has not been at school for like a thousand days. i wanto know what i got!!!!

.....meanwhile, mikhaila has been informed that she blitzed it by the theacher and im gonna take credit for it too.

she wrote about art theory...which i told her right before the test. no-one else has talked about that in their tasks so therefore she wins. and therefore i win cos im the art student...who taught her everything she knows.

dammit im helping the enemy

smart class = higher class ranking --> internal marks being up at the end of the HSC

 

[joe1016]

problem is that we dont know if we are a smart class.
almost every year for ext 1 a different teacher teaches a different topic. i figured that i should beat her NOW and then in the HSC when my rank is better than hers i would get her to do really well, therefore i do better.....i like my logic

 

[glitterfairy]

hahahaha

Just work hard, have faith, and discuss RFTG topics on BOS This is a good place to find out how much you've learnt in comparison to the rest of the state

 

[Ennaybur]

errr i think that another ext classmate is dropping now...
leaving sum total = ME

and i handed in an assesment this morning .. and it was shit .

 

[glitterfairy]

Don't worry - we've had one-person-classes people on here before Just make sure you always bring up any issues you have - the more discussion we have going, the more opportunities there are to learn from each other

 

[mikhaila]

ok double edge sword time... wanna abuse joe about the fact that he was wrong and owes me a dollar for beating me in the task!!! but then again he did still beat me grrr meh i will get over it.....

anyways welcome 2 the new person, come join us super-uber-ultra nerds (Soz ollie i couldnt rememba the order! in this stress out forum.. next problem is that little thing called the trial HSC Lol ... laters
