short answers (1 Viewer)

[zizi2003_]

so i was looking at the NESA sample answers for the short answers, and noticed that most of them just describe the texts rather than analysing/evaluating them (meaning fewer techniques and examples)
is that what theyre really looking for? everyone here and at school keeps saying theyll do like one example per mark or smth, but these samples go more into describing to answer the question?
what do you guys think

I think the sample answers are meant to be very brief, they are not meant to be exemplars. If you want exemplars you should look at the NESA workbooks.

na they are just generally shit. Don't try and aim for the same level of quality.

like they do answer the question but using more description instead of techniques/examples
for example:

this is a sample for the 6 marker in the 2020 paper- i don't see any techniques besides juxtaposition (vaguely used??) and third person narration ?

Idk he probs was tryna make us feel better cause we all sweated our assignments and we were still getting shat on. Despite, sending countless drafts to this man who teaches ext 2 eng and our teachers (who all said it was good). But then again if that NESA exemplar is band 6 I reckon most people trying should get at least band 5 idk.

Maybe lol. Our teacher has given us some exemplars from the NESA workbooks and she said she would not give some of them 20/20.
