Is this actually possible
Also I haven’t got a persuasive text in my inspo mod c texts so if it is I’m cooked
i mean i guess 20 mark persuasive is possible but i find it REALLY unlikely, especially after last year. i know that none of the english teachers at my school liked them forcing people not to do imaginative, so hearing those complaints and giving ONLY persuasive would just be insane by NESA. i think we'll get a choice between imaginative and something else

Yeah the fallout was too great. They might do monkey's paw and force imaginative though, which sucks for me.

For common mod Section II, if the question has 'storytelling' in it, does that mean form or ideas?
If it has storytelling in it I think (dependent on text of course) you can take it figuratively or literally. Like in 1984 Winston writes in his diary, and literally has a job in altering stories so you can do that pretty easily with quotes. For other texts idk tho.

i agree with u on that. i also think u can extend storytelling a bit beyond as well. say theres the literal creation of Oceania in 1984 to explore urge the responder to do XYZ, but u could also talk about individual storytelling and collective storytelling within the novel imo. It just expands the breadth of the question much further than what was Orwell's purpose (although thats still important)

on one hand: 20 mark persuasive would be unimaginably cruel
on the other hand: it would be absolute comedy and I would burst out laughing in the exam hall if I saw that

the most comedic option would be like 18/2 discursive, 'cause like "well it's different from last year, look we even gave you a reflection!" but unfortunately (or fortunately) that won't happen

They better not force an imaginative.
