Alright so I think I am okay.
The head of English took me into a classroom and sat me down, she was like "this is very serious" and I was like ah fuck. My introduction had about 1/4 of the words highlighted.
One colour of the highlight was from one of those BOS standard books from 2005 and the other from 2004, they think I have molded both to make my intro, which I kind of did, but I changed the words and checked it was okay with another teacher before I submitted it.
But I didn't change it enough apparently, so I then had to explain a lot of paragraphs to her, I felt so stupid because she was asking me the definition of words which I have used in essays before like "progeny", and she asked me to explain why I had used this quote:
Reaffirming the Romanticist belief that “Beauty is truth, truth is beauty” [John Keats], Huxley similarly explores this notion through the paradoxical concept that humanity is defined by its imperfection, as mankind’s attempt to remove imperfection has distanced humanity from the natural world.
Basically she was just trying to catch me out, because the introduction placed doubt on the rest of the essay... which is fair enough I guess. She is only doing her job, and making sure I don't get marks for cheating - which would harm everyone else.
Now I have to email her all the notes I used to make my essay, easy, and then in class next week I have to do a summary of some of the paragraphs which they don't believe I wrote... fair enough I guess, I am pretty bitter though.
Oh well, I get all in the A band of the marking scale minus a B for the creativity of the diptych... here's hoping they accept the truth that the entire essay bar bits of the intro is all my own work.
So much for innocent until proven guilty lol.
