i don't know actually.. hopefully she was just trying to make me worry ....

And what source did your sister have?
Head teacher at my school is enforcing a new policy next year whereby teachers cant accept practice essays from students. This is to stop them from having essays prepared but then again people just have tutors. Not even sure how she would enforce thisi don't know actually.. hopefully she was just trying to make me worry .
Thanks for pointing this out. I didn't know (or totally forgot) this.Mod B Questions:
2002: Two people who value your prescribed text in different ways and for different reasons are having a conversation.
Compose their conversation which should include consideration of the structure, language and ideas of the text.
2001: Two readers are arguing about the ending of the prescribed text you have studied.
Compose their discussion. The discussion should demonstrate your critical understanding of the prescribed text.
Nah, it's not difficult. To change an essay into a feature article, about 90% of your essay remains the same. But:enough speculation. Is it that hard to write a practice in a separate form? If you can be bothered memorising so many essays it shouldn't be an unbelievable effort to write a speech or two. Besides, the analysis is going to be exactly the same.
so what about techniques and effect statements etc, how much emphasis will be on that? (including speeches, interviews...)Thanks for pointing this out. I didn't know (or totally forgot) this.
Nah, it's not difficult. To change an essay into a feature article, about 90% of your essay remains the same. But:
1. Title
2. Byline
3. An anecdote at the beginning of the article.
4. Slight word changes during the paragraphs. The odd rhetorical question here and there.
5. In the conclusion, somehow link it back to the anecdote at the beginning
If you're even bothered, write the article in two columns. Might score you some brownie points.
but everyone always say that every year....my older sister warned me that 2011 was the year they were going to completely mess us over, so that for 2012 onwards everyone would be severely discouraged from memorising generic responses .. :/
I have a fear that they'll specify one or two like they did in the trial rather than saying "at least" one or two. :/Trolling?
I've also got a feeling they may ask for two related texts for module C in Standard! (Bit of a pattern going on...)
inorite.Oh geez, and here I was thinking English was pointless and hard enough as it was...
yeah.write your essay from different view points I guess?
.
I dont think they ever do that..."at the end of your prescribed text"
Yeah, and "Imagine this..." and rhetorical questions.Speech: just add dialogues but keep your main essay. lol
Feature article: just add headings to your essay. lol
Interview: add dialogues... i dont know how to write an interview.
One of the examples above or on the previous page had it. :/I dont think they ever do that...
Do this if you want to lose 4 marks before you even start writing.Feature article: just add headings to your essay. lol
Still a lot of emphasis on techniques. Remember, the content that you would've written for an essay, should still be written for the feature article. Don't forget, whilst there may be 4 marks dedicated to the formatting of your feature article, and how good (in terms of structure) your feature article is, don't forget 16 marks are dedicated to the content (as per an essay). So you'll need those quotes, those techniques, and those explanations.so what about techniques and effect statements etc, how much emphasis will be on that? (including speeches, interviews...)
No heading than ?Do this if you want to lose 4 marks before you even start writing.
I meant, you have to do much much more than just change the heading. If all you do is add a title, without changing any bit of your essay, you're pretty fucked.No heading than ?
So what exactly is the structure of a feature article?I meant, you have to do much much more than just change the heading. If all you do is add a title, without changing any bit of your essay, you're pretty fucked.
Nah they cap it at 15/20... if you write an excellent response despite the text type and question!!I've heard (from my English teacher) that if you don't answer the question properly (i.e. ignore the text type) the maximum mark you can get is in the C band.
do u have evidence of this?Nah they cap it at 15/20... if you write an excellent response despite the text type and question!!
That's a bit harsh, in my opinion, a C-band is a 12/13, which is a bit low. However, definitely, you'd get capped at 16 or 15. No evidence, just speculation/experience.I've heard (from my English teacher) that if you don't answer the question properly (i.e. ignore the text type) the maximum mark you can get is in the C band.
