[obliviousninja]

Looking over my super essay, it could have easily worked with this question, because its not based on themes. So I wouldn't simply get stumped by the theme of national unity, which I could easily integrate into my thesis and the associating paradigms.

 

[iStudent]

The marker comments for speeches this year should be interesting
something along the lines of "a surprising number of candidates demonstrated that they did not study their prescribed speeches in depth" lol

 

[enigma_1]

lel

coz deane is the speech with so much depth (not srs)

 

[TOWSHE]

Guys please tell me we didn't need to use the extract? I had prepared for Deane (I had like 4 techniques and quotes) and the question said to use a detailed reference to Deane's speech ... so did I have to include things from the extract? Thanks!

P.S: How are people saying they did 5-7 pages :O I only did 3, 3, 4 :/

is like 8-10 techniques and quotes enough for module A and B each? Ty

 

[Chris100]

No but it would have been nice to include at least one quote from it
Honestly I think they just learnt from the bandler specification that if you don't give them an extract, students actually cannot write a response to the specified speech if they didn't prepare for it (since they don't remember any of it)

 

[Chris100]

I think it was also an indication of whether you studied the prescribed speech or not, so if a student used only the quotes and techniques in the extract ( which weren't even the best ones and there weren't many when I glanced at it) they would know that the student didn't prepare for it. But obviously from just using the extract you can still write a good Deane paragraph and they would probs recognise a good one when they see one even if it does use techniques only from the extract

 

[IR]

So how much reference did you actually need to the extract? So for something where they don't ask you to refer to extract for eg. Gwenn Harwood? Or ar such.

 

[phcan]

OMG that deane speech was totally unexpected, everyone i knew was betting on Sadat and the Keating speech to be prescribed if they did prescribe a text. Did everyone that didn't study or prepare Deane just analysed the extract there even though there was very little to work with?

 

[Kashiro]

I actually couldn't be arsed memorising 3 essays so I just ended up gambling that it would be either Deane or Keating that would be specified and did that as my essay. Best gamble I ever made

 

[enigma_1]

lol I was joking. I heard.

I was bumping just to annoy you

 

[enigma_1]

dw Enigma, mreditor is just cruel.

hehehe I managed to bump. More seriously though, it was an unexpected question and I bet speeches will align tremendously this year. Don't worry about it now, just focus on your other exams

LOL, Thanks HPF!

I'm really relying on the aligning hahah. Good luck in your other exams, make sure you rest and take it easy!

 

[CelLi]

Agreed! Great Idea.
