Paper 1 past questions compiled:

• Compose an Imaginative/Discursive which examines the possibilies and problems exposed by literary worlds. Include an unexpected journey into literary world that transforms an individual. 25 marker [2023]
• Consider ideas about Literary Worlds common to texts 1, 2 and 3. Use these ideas as the basis of an imaginative response where you create a world with characters who represent divergent points of view. 25 marker [2022]
• To Text 1, how does Yanagihara’s closing address challenge your understanding of the nature of literary worlds? 25 marker [2021]
• Texts 1, 2, 3. Compare how the construction of literary worlds offers you new insights. Refer to TWO of the extracts provided. [2020]
• A) Use Text 1 and Text 2, to what extent do both extracts resonate with your understanding of why we compose literary worlds? 10 marker. B) Use Text 2, using the character in Text 2 imagine a moment in which the past intrudes on this character’s fabricated world. Compose a piece of imaginative writing that explores this intrusion. 15 marker. [2019]

I'm predicting a 15/10 split with a critical + discursive piece 🥲

critical/discursive would feel too similar - surely not.
i reckon full 25 SOMETHING.

mmm well they havent done the split since 2019? rest has been 25ers, maybe that means they will split again, or maybe they dont like that and want us to do 25 critical or creative AGAIN. well im reusing my Mod C mostly so what will be will be oof

[nitroexcalibur]

does anyone else do reimagined worlds as their module elective or whatever it’s called? I literally had to write 2 different essays depending on how many related texts they ask for cause my teacher made us

ok realistically what are the chances for a reflection - all trial papers do it yet it hasnt popped up in the hsc

i asked our gc people said they dont think it will happen as it disadvantages or advantages some schools that have to write about 2 related and like us who are only 1 related. like a selective school near us has to write about 2 but we're just a catholic school and only have to write about 1

doesnt the course mandate study of atleast 2 related?

yeah we looked at a lot of related and learnt about them, but our teachers said its ok to focus on one to actually write about in essays
