Hey everyone,
With the experience of 50 students (including previous one-off classes held) and reading over 150 different student essays (albeit good or bad), I am now holding another lot of classes for the next batch of 08 students. As I am not taking any more regular students for the 08 HSC, this is the only chance to receive quality knowledge and expertise for the AOS. Most of my 07 students have increased their English marks, scoring in the top band, with a lot of 95s and 96s.
The current classes will only be for Journeys- one on Coleridge, and one on Skrzynecki. As the AOS paper is worth 40% of your mark, it is important to clearly grasp the concepts in Journeys. In these 6 hour classes, I will be going through
Section1:
- techniques and strategies with relation to Journeys (apart from the over-used and conventional similes and alliteration) with direct reference to Section1 Papers
- providing a skeleton to answer the mini-essay 6 marker Q
- providing typed out answers to the Ruse 06 paper, giving reasons why it got 15/15
- Going through 3 Papers text by text, and what markers are looking out for in each text
Section2:
- essential elements of writing a creative
- what teachers are looking for
- how to get full marks with 600 words
- what not to do
- Different types of questions asked (incl text types) and how to answer these
- How you would mould your generic answer to specifically answer the Q
Section3:
- Structure of an essay
- 4 poems of your core text
- Going through potential additional material for your particular core text
- Different types of questions asked (incl text types) and how to answer these
- How you would mould your generic answer to specifically answer the Q
- Model essays which received full marks in trials and why
This also includes a free mock trial + marking (on top of the 6 hours) and after-lesson marking of your journeys essay, creative or comprehension responses.
This is an opportunity to finish everything you need to know on journeys in ONE day, as opposed to the drawn-out term at school. If you haven't started journeys at school, it will be an in-depth course to get you more than prepared for when you do.
Coleridge Imaginative Journeys: Monday 28th Journey
Skrzynecki Physical Journeys: Tuesday 29th January
Coleridge Imaginative Journeys: Wednesday 30th January
Skrzynecki Physical Journeys: Thursday 31st January
These will be held in small classes of 4 in my home at Strathfield. You may also bring any previous journeys material you have written so I can see your standard.
