i’m fucked either way for mod c, last time i wrote a persuasive was in yr 6, was never taught how to write a discursive, i’m absolute trash at improvising stories and i just realised my prewritten imaginative isn’t exactly mouldable

same throws me back to those topics such as "should students wear uniforms" or "are video games good for kids"

I strongly disagree that students should wear school uniform.

 

[cloud_berry]

i strongly disagree that students should be forced to take mandatory english. Not only is it a waste of time, it also causes state-wide suffering and contributes to the sad human experience of being a year 12 student. In this essay, i will

Unfortunately the subject of English is actually in legislation, so you'd have to ask your local minister to get it into a bill

Education Act 1990, Pt.3 s.12(1) (b) requires that

The curriculum during Year 11 and Year 12 for students who are candidates for the Higher School Certificate must meet the following requirements:—
...
(b) those courses of study are to include a course of study in English

Act: https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/whole/html/inforce/current/act-1990-008
Notice about this from DoE: https://porthackinghs.nsw.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Requirements-of-Education-Act-1990.pdf

Also note Education Act 1990, Pt.8 s.95(2) requires that

the requisite examination or other assessment must include a public examination conducted on a State-wide basis.

I think mod c might be forced discursive or persuasive since they did creative in 2019 and a choice last year and the syllabus is new so they might not want to repeat what they've already done to test all the areas if that makes sense.

I feel like mod C gonna be similar to example B of the sample questions. Example A was tested in 2019, and example C in 2020, so it makes sense if they gonna make something similar to example B, which asked to write an intense moment from the persepctive of a character in module C. Perhaps they won't ask something from mod C alone, but maybe all mods

I just had a look at example B and that would be an okay question but I'm hoping we get a discursive on all the modules because my mod b text was Emma so I could talk about coming of age in the discursive and relate it to myself so it would be easier to come up with something to write lol

If they ask disc/creative/pers for 12mk and 8mk reflection, how many words do you think we should aim for the piece? (excl. reflection)

 

[juliastiles]

If they ask disc/creative/pers for 12mk and 8mk reflection, how many words do you think we should aim for the piece? (excl. reflection)

I usually go by time so for a 12 marker, spend 24 minutes writing and for an 8 marker spend 16 minutes. In terms of word count the whole of mod c should be 1000 words because you have 40 minutes, similarly to the other modules. If its 10 creative/discursive/persuasive than 500 words for that and 500 for reflection. If it's 12 marks then maybe around 600 words on the creative/discursive/persuasive and 400 on the reflection

last year's was not a choice tho- it was a forced imaginative

due to “Human Qualities, and emotions associated with or arising from collective/individual human experience“ being the rubric question in 2019 (the one about commitment), then there’s no way they’ll ask us a question from that part of the rubric again right? Or is there still a slight possible chance?

highly highly doubt it - i am guessing the anomalies paradoxes and inconsistencies thing but you should generally know your text in regard to each rubric key term

Adding to this, 2020 paper asked us about “Individual and collective human experiences“ part of the rubric, so most likely @GoldenMelon is probably right and the question will be from this section of the rubric
”How texts may give insight into the anaomalies, paradoxes and inconsistencies in human behaviour and motivations, inviting the responder to see the world differently, to challenge assumptions, ignite new ideas or reflect personally.
