    Urgently need help with KING RICHARD 3!!! please...

    In 90% of the essay questions, your thesis is going to respond to a question along the lines of "Pacino being able to reshape the values found presented by Shakespeare to an Elizabethan audience through a recontextualisation of these values to better suit a modern audience." The good thing...

    Belonging Essay Question 2013 PREDICTION

    If you genuinely believe a statement is incorrect, by all means disagree with it. Remember, BoS markers are going to be marking tens of thousands of belonging papers, so you want to make sure yours stands out amongst the rest of the crap that they read.

    Belonging Essay Question 2013 PREDICTION

    Of course it would be easy for you guys, but let's imagine a normal standard english kid sitting a 3 hour exam for the second time. That statement, for the majority of students, is a lot to take in, especially in an exam situation. When you do get it, however, then it becomes easy.

    Imagine, a years worth of preparation, and question like this appears... ~~"In engaging with a text, the responder may experience and understand possibilities presented by an exclusion from the world the text represents" To what extent does your study of the concept of Belonging resonate with...

    How is everyone preparing for the 15 mark crime question?

    I am creating an essay plan for each of the possible essay questions from the themes and challenges, longer response "learn to"'s, and even one for the principal focus, just like how I am planning for the two essays, only in much less depth. Establish what LCMR I will be using, and practicing...

    atar marking

    True. But if you're a capable student, the worst case scenario is average results (average I mean mid-to-low 80s) in which case you can still push +90s with a strong external performance. That is, provided also, you go to a school within the top 100 for the moderation process.

    atar marking

    Also, the whole idea of the HSC pretty much is the on-the-day performance. It doesn't matter if the school is biased marking your internal results. It doesn't matter that you screwed up a couple of assessments even though you're a capable student. If you show in that one exam that you're a...

    atar marking

    If they lose your exam, the student should be compensated greatly for it, say an automatic b6. No way I'd accept months of preparation to let it slip down the drain, that's for sure.

    What kind of text is a video of a collection of people's testimonies?

    If the main purpose is to inform/educate, then it is a documentary. If the main purpose is entertain, then it is a film. I'd go with documentary, as it sounds like the individuals are trying to provide an insight, although you would need to provide more information about the text for a definite...

    Favorite tv show?

    Hmm... not gonna make a huge list, maybe just categories: Favourite Comedy: Seinfeld (hands-down, wish it still came on), followed by Big Bang Theory Favourite Crime: don't watch much Crime, but I quite enjoy watching The Good Wife. Favourite Action/Drama: personally my favourite is Game of...

    Can i get an atar estimate pls?

    You are ranked first in three subjects (if your first in a subject, you are not pulled down by a poor cohort), two of those are English-related subject (congrats btw) Focus on Physics slightly more than your other subjects, and a 98 is achievable.

    Movie "babe" for related text

    I love that movie. Yes! Definitely use it, Belonging I presume? Just make sure you're sophisticated in your use of it, going deeper than shallow representations of belonging, as it is a text more suitable for younger ages.

    Australian Muslim man travels to Syria to carry out suicide bombing

    Now that is just plain offensive. I am not a Muslim nor do I intend on becoming one, but your comments on this thread have been disgusting to anybody who would deem themselves open-minded. Obviously if your in a position to make stereotypical, A-Current-Affair judgements about an entire...

    HSC is just the externals

    Personally, I have never believed it is a 50/50 weighting of school assessment mark and HSC exam external mark. To me it just seems like whatever mark you get in the actual HSC exam is either lowered or brought up by a couple of marks depending on whether your internal mark was higher or...

    Is a +90 ATAR still possible?

    I actually made a mistake in my gen maths rank, but it is good to see there is still hope.
