You people are retarded. Why would the essay question be on place? Most prescribed texts don't deal with it in enough detail anyway. I think it will be on barriers and choices

Learn to read.
It says Wednesday, as in the modules. Lol.
Excuse me... that's what im referring to. I'm being over-dramatic because of the fact that there isn't a different text type.

Learn to think.

"Tuesday's two-hour paper for English Standard and Advanced has three parts: short answer questions about an unseen text, a composition on or adaption of a studied text, and an essay based on the area of study, Belonging."
Someone please tell me what 'a composition on or adaption of a studied text' is referring to?

that's the creative story. In other words, you would either write the creative from scratch or adapt your creative into the stimulus (that's what it should mean by adaptation of a studied text)...

But that gets me thinking... I thought the board of studies discouraged memorizing essays and the creative. o_O

Only module C can possibly be a speech in paper 2. I mean I can't ever imagine a FrankenRunner or Hammy speech. A G.Rob speech sounds pretty viable.

Do you guys reckon, they'll ask for 2 related texts for belonging today?
Don't think so...


hopefully not, because I took out my 2nd related from my prepared essay because of the previous trials and hsc questions asking for ONE related....


But I think I can bs if they ask for a 2nd tbh

i am thinking:

-picture stimulus for creative(I hope not, but I have a feeling)
-ONE related for belonging and AT LEAST ONE for mod c
-all modules text types will be essays, BUT if they decide to make one a speech/sth else, it will be mod B.
-belonging 'theme' this year will be belonging to place (idk actually haha)
that wasn't a bad guess actually, lol. maybe i'll keep a tally here just for the heck of it.
