lucky really...coz its ambiguity means that it will be marked with more leniency and fairness. i mean, hello, everyone on here interpreted the question so differently, god i was rambling about my interpretations, their interpretations and shakespeare's interpretations!! i had no idea

srsly that is unlucky...how can u not be taught what's in the exam...that's VERY unfair.
we had a sub who couldn;t teach for a term on this topic, and we basically had to learn everything again with our normal teacher. fuking pain in the ass that was.
anyway we asked him how to do a leaveisite reading and he said: "i dont know" - this was for a class assessment, counting for like 15% of school marks...u'd expect teachers to have some sort of knowledge of their shit right?

you guys with the fucked-up teachers should really pull together with your respective classes and do an appeal

Or alternatively, teach yourself as i have done for the past year. Dont expect to be spoonfed. You have a syllabus for a reason. Bad luck to all though. I know i sound like a harsh bastard.

then why go to school? get a copy of the syllabus, copy of the text and your set, right?absolution* said:Or alternatively, teach yourself as i have done for the past year. Dont expect to be spoonfed. You have a syllabus for a reason. Bad luck to all though. I know i sound like a harsh bastard.
we don't expect to be spoonfed. we expect to be taught.

calm down people. lets not let this (as well as the bastards at the Board of Studies, and the bitches who teach you shit-all... not naming any names... damn you P.H. [people from my school will know who she is... obviously]) get our panties twisted in a wad. it was a hard module as most people admitted; so im fairly sure that the markers will take into account that alot of people did poorly, either under exam stress or otherwise. im just kind of glad that english is out of the way - something i really didnt enjoy doing.

srsly we wernt taught productions we were shown them but not taught them which is fukd...for an assessment (our last one b4 the trial) we had to study i think 2 critical interpretations by ourselves, it defeats the purpose of having a teacher...ok sure i dont want to b spoon fed but a lil assistance along the way wud not have gone astray....
on anotha look at the question...it still seems ambiguous, they shudnt have made a generic q for all teh texts in the module...like htey divided module b into questions for each text, what they shud have done was have the one generic question(which they did), but in the lear one they shuda asked for 2 scenes, and hten for prose htey shuda had 2 chapters and so on...i personally intepreted the question for lear as 2 scenes neways but i think its slack on ppl who misinterpreted hte question...furhtermore, i think the question worried me a bit in the exam as there was a lot of emphasis on "your", and i was thinking mayb they dont wanna hear bout the productions and intepretations ive seen, well i put em in neway and showed how htey were limited and wot a production shud do to maintain textual integrity

Our teachers really emphasised the productions part. We read through the play, and looked at the themes and stuff, but we then watched the brook and eyre productions, and there was an excursion to the bondi production.Supra said:
hey dude, we couldn;t really band together and do the text, cos our class and one other class did cloudstreet, and the other class, with their noraml teacher was worse off than usabsolution* said:Or alternatively, teach yourself as i have done for the past year.

teach urself is kinda hard when ur trying to learn critical analyses of a novel...there's so many things that can go rong... we ended up wasting some more time later trying to go thru it for the first time with our normal teacher when she returned...taht really saved my ass from scraping the bottom of a band 2 response...i think ill gete a band 4 for the crap i produced on the day tho.
