Mod B is going to screw me over. Actually most of it is going to screw me over, I think my marks will mainly be stored in Mod C and A. I reckon they'll ask a super specific question for Mod B, Mod A probably won't be an essay. Hopefully Mod C is a choice.

My guess? Interview/letter between composers/critics ect... or a conversation. I could be wrong but I have a feeling.

Depends what they ask. Letter could be from the perspective of a composer, so you'd talk about your motivations behind the text and insert your themes and quotes there, provide contextual detail I guess. Interview is similar to a conversation, you'd literally be like:
Composer 1: And what are your thoughts on the idea of transience throughout the poems?
Composer 2: Well, I intended to incorporate as many Romantic values as I could throughout the text, for example, "Quote"

I don't know... it might be but NESA has consistently hinted that it won't be, the whole design of the new syllabus points to it not being an essay. Textual conversations is much more likely to be a different text type than the critical study imo

ok I haven’t seen any module A compairison question that wasn’t requiring an essay answer . I guess they do an interview with two different authors or maybe a ted talk.i was going by the three essay questions on the NESA practice paper


what type of extended response are you anticipating for module A

Like the new rubric and design of the paper suggests, I'm more expecting an interview/letter/conversation. Not a discursive piece or anything. They may not, but it's likely they will in this paper to establish divergence in the future. I do hope it's an essay and they go easy on us, though.

I think you mean module C the craft of writing . That won’t be an essay .
Module A is th3 two texts together. You are right though there will only be two essays and a writing task

No I'm well aware that Mod C is going to contain a discursive, imaginative, persuasive ect... But I mean Mod A. It's likely they will ask us in a non-traditional way that doesn't follow essay structure. I hope they don't, but at least we were prepped for it in trials.

ok well that would be possible I guess but I would be very surprised. You sound like you hav3 experienced modile A questions in no essay format so As long as you are well prepared it shouldnot be an issue anyway .
