Is it alright(good) to have critics in Module B HAMLET (with the new updated syllabus (1 Viewer)

[Rawf]

I pretty much know all the poems for what I'm doing for mod B (Yeats). Its just that my analysis (my central idea) isn't long enough for if they stated to only doing a specific number of the poems.
Ie. Each poem I have has an analysis of 150 words.. if I plan to do 4 poems - intro is 130 words, 4x150 for the body paragraphs and 100 conclusion = 830 words.
If they ask us to do 2... 130 intro, 2x150 body and 100 conclusion = 530 words = definitely too short.
I'm gonna have to think of some extra stuff haha. Its a tough task as some poems are only like.. 10 lines long, you cant extract as many techniques /quotes or whatever.
I wish I did hamlet! It seems so much easier/interesting than Yeats -__-
Furthermore, with our trials and assessment task, we knew that they weren't gonna specify the number of texts we use or which text we have to include. I'm not concerned about if they specify a poem in hsc, I'm just concerned if they tell us how many to use.
At the moment... I think the likelihood is that they'd tell us to use 2 poems, or 3 poems, or specify which poem to use and not place a limit on the number of poems. Telling us to do 4 poems seems very unlikely. Hopefully it works in my favour (specifying a poem + as many poems as we like)

Re: My english essays are 1000 words each will I be marked down????

Im doing english advance and I will be writing 1000 words or (950~ish) per essay in the exam.

The reason is a I have a disease called essential tremor and cant write at optimal level.

Will I be at a disadvantage> (ignoring quality of all essays)

If you can get medical evidence that this disease is impacting your ability to perform, you should consider applying for special consideration. You might be eligible for using a computer or having someone else write for you.

Being able to write 1000 words in 40 mins is good, but you want to be performing at your best.

Having said that, if you're hsc is 2012, it's almost definitely too late to apply for consideration and your performance during trials should be an indicator of your abilities.

Re: is it true module B (hamlet) is scaled up????

all the modules and all the different question within the different modules are scaled somewhat, this is to basically make up for difficulties of questions

I was talking about this at the boarders breakfast table actually...I heard that Hamlet doesn't get scaled however it's the hardest module in that section? Maybe they changed it...

Re: is it true module B (hamlet) is scaled up????

Average for Hamlet is like 11/20, and average for Harwood is around 12/20? So Hamlet does get scaled relatively well, probably 15/20 for Hamlet is 17/20 I'm estimating.

if your school wants you to, then do it (if you really have to, one critic quote per paragraph should suffice). i personally don't recommend it though - i didn't use a single critic quote in my essay and it turned out fine. in the hsc they don't really care (one of the teachers told my cohort that they used to have the critic quotes mandatory for module b but removed them partly cos people would just make up quotes which kinda ruined the point of finding and using critic quotes in the first place) if you have the choice to do or not to do i don't recommend it. stealing ideas from critic readings and incorporating them and presenting it as ur own idea tho (not copying) is highly encouraged
