What elective do you study? Mine is mindscapes

 

[dizzyinginsignificance]

for literary worlds they haven't had a creative component since 2019, so that's a possibility, but at the same time i feel like it'll just be another 25 mark critical purely because of all the anticipation for a creative.

for mindscapes (and probably the other electives) they could ask something about the way form is used distinctly in texts to convey a theme or idea, or the relationship between something that composers do and how it affects the way we perceive the world. but this is all speculation

What elective do you study? Mine is mindscapes

Worlds of upheaval. There could be some kind of question about worlds forcing us to consider deeper aspects of our personality or something, but it's all speculation. For literary worlds, maybe they could get us to do a 25 mark creative based on a huge stimulus.

Really hoping we don't get a 25 marker critical
A 10/15 split with a critical and creative would be nice. Hope they don't chuck a Mod C and throw in a new type of question lol

I do WoU as well. There's literally so much they could ask. Maybe something about how individual actions can culminate in social upheaval? Or something about socio-political upheaval

Which texts are you doing?

i'd really love a 10/15 split (with a critical) too! did well in the 25 mark critical in our trials, so wouldn't mind that. i'd kinda hate a 25 mark creative or anything with a reflection, i don't think i have enough on-the-spot creativity to stretch a small idea out for that long.

in terms of electives we do homelands, i don't think there's really that much scope for that in terms of questions (may eat my words later) so i might just memorise my essay and hope they continue the trend of only asking for one related.

yeah really hoping for only one related. if they ask for two, my essay structure is out the window

Which texts are you doing?

Yeah, there's so much variety. My texts are Frankenstein, Waiting for Godot and Heaney's poetry (although I don't want to write about WFG). How about you?

Frankenstein, Metropolis, and North and South. Loved them all but only using the first two

can they ask us to write about 2 related texts? i was lazy and only studied one

 

[dizzyinginsignificance]

can they ask us to write about 2 related texts? i was lazy and only studied one

yes they can, as the syllabus requires "The study of at least TWO related texts," but they've only ever asked for at least 1 in the exams so far

 

[may22]

can they ask us to write about 2 related texts? i was lazy and only studied one

they technically can, but let’s collectively hope they don‘t

 

[cyniczny]

here again to say i might actually implode if they ask for two relateds, i should not have left memorising my essay skeleton this late

I have one up my sleeve, although I'm praying that they don't ask for it. Having said that, we might get scaled up if they do because it'll be the first time they would ever have done it.

 

[whatdoiputhere]

What I've heard is in the off chance they ask for 2 related, you can appropriate an Advanced text and pretend you actually love King Henry IV (impossible)

 

[pleasehelpmeihatenesa]

whats the odds they ask a question on form? i will disintegrate into the floor if they do

yeah same our school made us do two relateds for our assessment so i have vague knowledge of another, but i would not be able to confidently recall much of my paragraph lmao

How did you all find it? I loved the 25 mark creative

 

[Marley_Rat]

Wasn't the worst, I wasn't the most prepared for the creative haha

 

[Marley_Rat]

Does anybody have/remember the exact question for literary worlds?
