Write the essay down, probably copy it a few times and there will be certain sentences that you retain easier than others. Eventually you should have most of it.

I just speak out each sentence loud again and again. So first I start with first sentence, then the second sentence, then I try saying both sentence together without looking and yeah so on. Then at the end I try writing it out, and if I got anything wrong I redo. But for me this only works for short-term, so I'll forget it after like 2 weeks unless I consistently practice everyday.

brooooooo u dont understand my struggle for stupid eliot. mums that guy is such a downie. My original essay was that I had 2-3 chunky like rlly chunky paras which incorporated all poems(because I cba to memorise 5 paras), but then my teachers like stay safe and have poem per para. so I had to redo everything, add bunch of shit, and it was such a pain. flunked the essay in trial asw

Exact same thing as me, I also print out a sheet because I like walking around the house and speaking it aloud. I do feel bad for my family though who has to keep hearing me yap on about Shakespeare and human experiences.

Our teachers said that we should have at least 3, but the HSC only needs 2 so if you cook up an analysis then youll be fine

its calm, especially if its 2 big integrated paragraphs of 2 poems and how they share a theme or idea, and show similarities. Its better to have a thorough analysis of 2 then a brief one on 3. having 2 thorough analysis of 2 poems shows that you have a good understanding of the text too

I agree, for my internals I did only 2 poems but I had thorough analysis which got me a 18/20

^^^ But also if they give u an extract from a particular poem, if u have 3 poems memorised, it means that you have a better chance of it being ur poem ya know

True, I'm kinda cooked if they give us an extract question especially on Magi as I have 4 poems but thats the only one I have no mention of

Hi Everyone! hope studying is going well for everyone (im on the verge of tears). I was just wondering for Mod C, when it asks to "Evaluate how your study of figurative language in The Craft of Writing influenced the creative decisions you made in part a. In your response, make reference to one or more of your prescribed texts." Do I consistently make reference to my prescribed text here, such as adding quotes from the text and also talk about the stimulus? Idk if what im trying to say is clear but im just confused how much i talk of my prescribed text and the stimulus

What my teacher advised me is that since the max length of this reflection would be 500 words i.e. 10 marks, you can get away with an introduction, a short body paragraph analysing one quote from your written text (and refer to the stimulus if you have to), and another short paragraph on the related instance from your prescribed text (again, refer to the stimulus if needed). This is just one way of approaching the reflection and I'm sure there are others on the chat that would either agree or have their own versions for the same.

Did you use both poems on both para?

 

[Legendary16]

Can anyone direct me on what to do for the UNSW co-op applications?

 

[ihatehsc24]

No, I had one para for each poem
