Do you think the hsc english exam paper one for creative writing will ask for a article or something like that, or since were the first year doing belonging they'll just keep it pretty straight forward and be like, story write it.

Ahhhh i really REALLLLY hope it's a story!
I mean, they should look at the fact that we are the first year doing Belonging, and figure that since we havent really been able to practise a range of questions from past papers that we deserve to have this one pretty straightforward :)

what would you guys do if it is like an article and you cant work out how to link your story to it at all? :|

I would implode on the spot if they asked for an article. Right on the spot.

for the sakes of everyone doing the exam (including me!!!) i hope it's a general kind of question, where you can choose any writing form you want. i've seen it before in another exam, and it was SWEET!!!!! haha

if they ask for an article just turn the plot of your story into a feature article.. don't think it'll be that bad. they'll probably ask for either: a story, a speech, a memoir or journal entries

called the HSC board of studies advice line, they said its going to be straight forward and they just want something readable and understandable as in a easy to understand plot. So im leaning more towards the idea of a short story, since were the first victims of belonging, i'd assume that they'd be a little merciful to our fresh minds.

An article is fairly easy, because there are different article styles. But I'm not quite sure how you could turn belonging (without a prescribed context) into one. I assume you just have to put your plot into an article. But hey I dont care about belonging, I'm more worried about the freaking modules!

But yeah It should be a story, I wouldn't mind a speech though!
