[yenisei]

Yeah I have that too I thought we needed a related text then yesturday my teacher said we aren't doing one??? I was so confused. Is anyone else not doing a related text?

same no related

 

[fesi2w3]

IIRC we don't have to do related texts for Common Module? Correct if I'm wrong.
Prescribed for me is The Crucible, not looking forward to the first exam

It's not part of the common module in the HSC but some schools will make you do one anyways !!

What related + prescribed texts r u guys doing?

1984 prescribed but we have free reign over our related so I'm still deciding TT I'll have to make a choice soon, though

Hi class of 2025!

My name is Wishah Junaid and I graduated from Baulkham Hills High School this year, ranking 1st internally for both English Advanced and English Extension 1. Of course, no obligation to join but I know Task 1 is approaching soon, and so if any of you would be interested I am running a paid online presentation on 1984 (cost is 20 dollars) on the 24th of November via Zoom!

The time is yet to be decided, but it will run for 2 hours - all students will get access to a range of student + textbook material after the presentation, as well as a mock Paper 1 I have curated by going through a lot of school trial papers. I will also send out a document with my sample answers + general feedback that may be useful when self-marking. I can't seem to attach the link to the expression of interest form here but I am happy to dm it to anyone interested.

Otherwise, I'm happy to help with any questions regardless - you can shoot me a DM (albeit I may be slow at replying) or shoot those to wishahjunaid9@gmail.com Good luck to all of you!! I know English can be really hard to wrap your head around, so take your time and know you'll improve as you go.

1984 also my damn school just switched commod texts this yr so none of that stuff from the past yr 12s were helpful bruh + they listed up all the texts we were doing for next yr e.g tempest/hagseed, ts elliot but i didnt have that memorised so sucks to suck to me i hope that graduate enjoyed my 10$

but i also did end up giving into making a studocu acc cause i was desperate to see what was behind the blurred section and i guess it was all very mediocre i have premium until the 4th of dec so if any1 needs anything ig u could pm me but the damn thing puts ur details out in the download so i have to manually redact it too u should consider checking out the resources section of bos if u havent though bye i just leaked my details

im doing the same, I literally cannot find a related text that someone hasn't done in past years at my school (therefore 'no originality' in my teachers words)

Firstly, it depends on the weight of the assessment task. If it says 20% on the assessment sheet for example, then it will be worth 10% of your HSC mark (HSC Weight = Internal Weight/2). As for if you should drop Ext 1, it really depends on if you think you like the content and will endeavour to achieve better study habits for the subject, because ultimately, if you keep a subject for 1 extra unit that won't count to your ATAR because you do bad, then there is no point in doing the subject in the first place.

I hope this cleared some confusion in deciding whether to drop Ext 1.

P.S. Never make the mistake of dropping a subject because of an assessment task.

 

[kkkkrrrr]

oki thanyou for the advice
