Text Types for Paper 2 Advanced (2 Viewers)

[smartrosa]

What text types do you rekon they will ask for each module?
Speech?
Essay?
Article?
Interview?

they are the most popular ones


any ideas??????????????

 

[u-borat]

personally, any more than 1 non-essay text type from the BOS would be rather gay.

I reckon it'll be an interview text type in module A. module b should be an essay and i reckon module C could possibly be a speech.

 

[Kirsty Xx]

i wish they were just all essays much easier that way

 

[xtremedude]

what if they ask you to write a play?
that would suck

 

[smartrosa]

the Board of Studies were criticised for having all essays last year, so i dont think they will be doing that this year, but my teacher said as this is the last year of these modules that they will be wanting to go out quietly...
i think two essays and one non-essay

 

[u-borat]

yep, especially considering the fact its been essays for the past 2 years.
we are bound to get a non-essay one.
just hope its a speech.

 

[jessitastic]

the catholic trials was 2 essays and 1 speech.

i hope its not an interview. hate those.

The text type will probably be for module a or b...probably either a:
reflection
speech
feature article
interview
personal letter

i think any other one would be really really lame....lol and it wont be a play, that would screw everyone up

 

[AkaiHanabi]

We were asked to write Module A as a one sided debate -_- But other than that, articles, interviews and speeches tend to be the popular ones

QFT

I hope they dont do module A i struggle with that enough anyway i hope its B that changes. And i hope its a Speech or interciew or something not too bad.

 

[dolbinau]

The speech for module B in the CSSA trial doesn't seem unreasonable for the HSC. Makes a personal response much more easy.

 

[ugotmegood]

i hope lear is a speech like the catholic trials and then the other two are just essays. how do you structure a debate??

I think we'd just write a very persuasive speech.

 

[Tragedy Thrills]

I reckon that if only one section is not an essay it would have to be B, because it adds to the personal aspect of the response. However, a lot of the questions that I've seen for Frontline have been varied text types, so I think there is a distinct possibility of having only one essay in the exam.

Based on the feedback we got

weak:
- addressed the text type in a tokenistic manner, interpreting the text type to mean the use of the inclusive "we", a sense of personal voice in the use of personal first person pronoun, or repetition and emphasis as per a more oral delivery of the exposition.
- did not answer question
- did not sustain For OR Against throughout argument
- weak on context/values

Stronger responses:
- Included an implicit/explicit rebuttal of opposing views eg While it may be argued by the negative that ...., however this is not true as ....
- sustained a clear argument through out

So the idea is to write out in the manner you would speak as one speaker in a debate

I agree. I think Module A might be the only essay available, whereas the others will ask you for different text types.

how the hell are you sposed to do an interview? ( i know what it is, im not stupid). but who would you be interviewing. particularly for module a that would be a terrifying prospect- Emma and Clueless. ill just rip up the paper. someone calm me down pretty please
