Your Approach To Paper 2 (2 Viewers)

[Crisium]

How are you planning on approaching Paper 2?

Will you go in alphabetical order?

Will the order be based on which questions your most confident with?

etc, etc.

I'm planning to go with C, B then A based on my strengths but if they specify for Module B I'll probably swap that around with Module C

Post your approaches below

Speeches/Module B I am going to do last as I can get good marks in the other two but this one is hope for the best!

Acutally i might do ACB, In order of most confident.

I feel like if they specify and you know the speech well, then you can take advantage of the fact that a majority of the state wouldn't have bothered to actually memories quotes and their analysis for that speech

But like matchalolz said in the other thread even if they don't specify the speech, the question will still favour some speeches over others especially if they ask you to make reference to a theme. <-- They will apparently be doing this for Auden (Module C) as well

They don't specify for auden doe.

They don't specify for auden doe.

Yeah I know, but that only applies for the first year - My head teacher says he's more likely to win the lottery

By the time it reaches the year before the prescribed texts are changed they are planning on specifying so gg no re to the future HSC students

So we're not gonna get specified 100% sure?

Yeah I can guarantee that they will not specify in the first year but like with any Module C essay make sure that you have two related texts prepared

 

[Chris_S]

Its our luck they will! I think that would be a good thing but if Atwood's or Sadat's than I am in trouble

 

[Chris_S]

2 related texts for module C?!?!?!?

gg no re

 

[Flop21]

2 related texts for module C?!?!?!?

Hahahahahah. Yeah I know I was confused when I heard that as well. They can ask for 2 related texts in Mod C.

I actually haven't got anything properly prepared right now. I might just use the related from my discovery essay tho, so no need to memorise anything more.

 

[Chris_S]

Yeah I might use Othello as a second related for wag the dog considering I did it in year 11

 

[Chris_S]

Im with you astro!

 

[Flop21]

I dunno, I kind of don't feel super confident with any. Might just do the test in order.

Regarding plans, do we write them on the marking booklet? Or should we not let markers see the plan at all and ask for a spare booklet to write it in?

Depends on what you're putting in your plan

I know for business studies that if you write down the relevant syllabus dot points in the essay question (as your plan) and you don't finish, the marker appreciate that you knew where you were heading and they tend to offer a mark for that

I doubt it works like that for english though - Use the one book and just write in huge letters PLAN at the top of the page and then write your essay on the following pages but make it noticeable that you've transitioned from your plan to the actual essay

 

[teridax]

gg no re

They've only specified once for Module C since 2005 and that was in 2011.
