Off my head I'm thinking of Guevara discovering the Incas again. So more a rediscover by mankind.


And uhhh... can't think anymore. Haven't revised AOS since last year

Does a redefined opinion count as a re-discovery? :O My related text is Go Back to Where You Came From, and everything coming into my head is new stuff (as the people involved in this documentary were transformed due to their personal experiences with the refugees).

"Experiences are the portals of discovery"

I like this question, very broad, lots of chances to explain your understanding of discovery!

Redefined opinion could be a consequence of rediscovery, but I don't think it is the reason (or catalyst or motive or whatever) for rediscovery.

Edit: No, actually, it could be a catalyst for later rediscovery. A changed opinion/attitude can lead to a new set of values, which would potentially lead someone to rediscover themselves, someone else, somewhere else...

I think discovery/rediscovery go hand in hand. If you discovered a new culture through experiences with refugees, perhaps you have rediscovered your humanity? I don't know your text, so I have no idea... but yeah, just tweak it .

[rawrliongirl]

If you're getting nowhere do something else. Once you've been at something for a while or studying too long your productivity drops, well at least mine does. I take a break and maybe get something to eat.

Except what happens after is the break magically extends itself again, and again.
And all of a sudden.
It's morning. (i crie)

They could write their own?


So I'm a bit confused about these CSSA exams, do most schools use them even if they're not catholic schools?

Legit reasons include:
CRIPPLING PAIN WHENEVER YOU WRITE (I have a medical condition where I'm eligible for a scribe but chose to write and take rest breaks)
and also other things

Non legit reasons include:
Messy hand writing

Your English teacher needs to chill Maybe take a photo of your hand writing and we can see if we can read it?

Also it's pretty hard to get provisions at this stage.

Perhaps she wants you to get one because of your hand writing?

Usually when the student's writing is illegible they allow the student to use a scribe

There are other exceptions such as writing under the national writing speed, broken hand (One of the 2014 BoSer's got a stress fracture in the lead up to the HSC but still got a 97 in Advanced English), etc.

I wouldn't recommend using one at this point in time because you will have little time to get used to using a scribe effectively in regards to communication, etc.

 

[astroman]

Post a pic of ur handwriting so we can conclude whether it is as shit as ur teacher claims it to be

 

[PPPPlatypus]

How are you guys studying for English? Are you guys making any basic notes or just going straight to essays?

What ...

You must've already finished your option (astro) already right?

That would be pretty cool doing it straight after space :3
