If it does, markers are the cheapest people

It'd be funny if they subconsciously marked you down because the name sounded 'Fake'.

ok dont scare me, does it or doesnt it matter if u used a name in the article, caus i didnt. I dont really know how you would include it, is it worth a whole band?

 

[*~Dazed~*]

its not worth a whole band however IF lets say you are in a low band six *knock knock i dont want to jinx you either way* then maybe that, along with a few other small mistakes MAY bring you down to a high band 5...... but i dont know... dont quote me on it im just going by what some teachers have said.... because we always get it ripped into us that we need to make sure that our piece reflects the medium we are writing it as.....

 

[sar567]

wish somebody had told me tht, i had no idea wht to put except for the heading oh well cant be helped now

 

[noonz]

sorry wrong window

I put a heading in but not a name. Its not necessary and you won't get marked down.

Its not necessary but it will help to show that you understood the format the question was asking for.

I was the journalist Sami Lucas. i figured she could get promoted from weathergirl! It doesn't matter what you wrote, no one but the markers will see it unless it gets selected in thestandards package and if so they will blot out the name you gave in case its your own.

I was good ol' Eduardo Galucas.

I don't think we needed to include a journo's name. It is only if you have a feature article, in which case you need a healdine, "columns" and subheading.

 

[MiuMiu]

Exactly, you people have not read the question properly. It was an article for inclusion in a HSC thing, not a journalist type thing. It could well have been written by an English teacher.

Sorry, but if you didn't write anything, you will not get penalised. Stop trying to make everyone believe they will.

unfortunately the truth is taht the markers are only human, and may be (if only subconciously) swayed by such minor detail.

 

[freaking_out]

yeah, actually if u look at the standards package, this guy actually wrote his name, so they blotted it out.

What people fail to see is they are looking for things to give you marks FOR, not take them away. They start at zero and go from there, not start at 20 and take marks off.

hahahah that's the funniest call ever

 

[MiuMiu]

its not a call its the truth

 

[Exeter]

the truth is not simple

i ended my article with somethin along the lines of
"for more info about the truth you can purchase my book available in bookstores entitled afkjdlakfjfjkflads"

they won't know, it's just they prefer if people don't use their own names
