thanks this is great, i only need to answer this question for a listening task, most probably which will be an extract from a fictional novelHaha I had the same essay question for my AOS essay.
I used the rubric as a guide and found that students need to consider how their texts challenge the assumptions of discovering and discoveries. Most people assume that discoveries are physical, involving some tangible realisation. Further, they believe that discoveries entail exhilarating prospects and better the discoverer. You can say how you now understand that discoveries aren't limited to such encounters, rather, they include "confronting" and daunting prospects and are inhibitory to personal development.
It depends on the text you're studying. If the plot manifests an oppressive discovery, they analyse how the notion of discovery is inverted.
Peace.
same here, my test is 2hrs, gotta do mod a, creative and listeningYeah we had a similar thing for Robert Gray. We had the essay question in advance and an audio on the day of the exam. We had to take quotes from the audio and map them to the idea of discovery in the rubric, weaving the additional text into our prepared essay and making points of comparison. There were thematic parallels between Gray and the audio as far as nature goes, but I talked more about the challenging nature of discovery in Gray's poems contrasted to the revitalising depiction in the audio.
