Also I remember but the other day one of the Eng teacher’s at my school was like u should write 5 body paragraphs for mod A although some will do 3. Like 5 is insane and idk how I’m gonna do this espec for half yearlys

 

[ALolly]

thats insane i struggle with 3

 

[Study to success]

thats insane i struggle with 3

If the teachers expect us to do that I’m gonna just not do that cause no way can I do 5

 

[WTbattleace]

You'd be quite surprised how many of the things they want are quite similar to what us in 2u math wish to achieve. I mean, you do 4u english is there anything super crazy you want to do after year 12?

I want to join the Australian Federal Police, or become a political staffer

My teachers have always said 4 at the absolute maximum if you have insane writing speed. You are all adv English so it might be difference but for standard the depth of the paragraphs goes down significantly above 3 paragraphs for most.

Well I normally do 3 but for mod A since it’s a comparative text maybe that’s why it’s different but the teacher was like 5 parra in 45mins but still like it’s too much

I was taught to do 3 body paragraphs at maximum. My teacher does HSC marking for Advanced and Extension 1, and has said kids have been able to reach a Band 6/E4 by having 2 in-depth, conceptually cohesive paragraphs.

 

[WTbattleace]

We are doing mod B now which is a darn novel study

Mod B already? I have just started Mod A

 

[Study to success]

@Study to success is wow for how much lower the standard of English standard is compared to adv?

No lol. I just put wow for a lot of things. But 3 paragraphs is what lots of people do in advanced. The std isn’t really that much lower

Yeah I’m just hoping I was hearing the teacher wrong. But yeah I’ll prob stick to like 3 and 4 max. But idk maybe my teacher will say different things

 

[Study to success]

Exactly I would think most teachers would rather less paragraphs but more depth over 5 considerably weaker paragraphs

I think that teacher just expects us to write in the speed of lighting. @f7eeting . Do u remember hearing this on like a wed last period or smth

 

[WTbattleace]

However I think having a considerably lengthy essay does demonstrate to the marker that you have invested time and effort into preparing for and answering the question on the day. It could be a psychological trick...?

 

[Study to success]

We skipped mod A. The teachers took the decision to commence mod b because the holidays means that everyone can get the novel done and at school we can purely work on analysis.

Will u go back to mod a later?

 

[WTbattleace]

Mod A is by far the lengthiest and complex module in English Advanced - or so I have heard

Yeah fr. Mod a might be the end of me cause since there’s two texts it feels like so much
