we're still going on about eng and its methods for marking, how people never get 19/20 because theres no such thing as perfection, ect ect

in light of this, what's everyones favorite eng module?

Mod G (get me out of here)

 

[Sam Rowan]

just curious, what do you even like about common mod? or just english as a whole

i think its just the way my teacher teaches it tbh, and i like how its an actual concept that i think about a lot. when i read a text, i think about the authors intent, i think about what they were trying to teach us, and what i can learn from the text because everything i read enhances my outlook on the world. The rubric states "[students] examine how texts represent human qualities and emotions associated with [...] these experiences." which is basically what i think about, on a day to day basis. because every person, author or not, has lived different and a unique life, and its reflected in their writing, and through that i can learn things that i could never have previously known.
i also really enjoyed my assessment, especially since i could make explicit references to other texts. did i particularly like studying rosemary dobson? no. do i like spending ~2 months studying any particular text for any given reason? No!
but i like the notion of using a text to understand the human experience.

and i much prefer it over studying a textual conversation. seriously, wtf is a textual conversation?? (y11 common mod was also fun for me)

year 11 common mod was trauma. We didn't even get to do creative like the rest of the schools did so it was just analysis and that traumatising scission book killed me cause they combined short answer and that book together. I get how common mod is like more relatable but the thing is 1984 isn't very relatable so maybe that's why I dont; enjoy it that much. but tbh all the eng modules feel the same tbh and I don't really have a preference

 

[Jaros]

can someone actually tell me the difference between inconsistency, paradox, and anomaly in common mod

 

[Jaros]

I feel like if the texts were better, then it would be slightly more enjoyable

I had ALTCWS I liked the book, if ur school did it, u might have liked common mod a bit more. Personally the book was great which I was at least somewhat alive during english.

im not bothered. Just put it into chatgpt

 

[Reasonabledoubt]

No im just sating the authors quote on quote purpose that we always talk about in essays like how do we know its not made up, Shakespeare died over 200 yrs ago and we still analyse his stuff today. Like for example in RIII the play we can discuss the power of words and manipulation, did Shakespeare really intend to do that? or was he just trying to make money?. This is what im sure most students of english are quite annoyed with, it gets really bs at sometimes and like come on the questions are sometimes ridiculous. Giving as a literal scrn shot of a scene from a movie or film and telling us to write a 20 marker essay on how that reflects textual conversation, surely there is a better way we can asses and learn the english subject.

You can never capture what an author truly intended, ever. its just what YOU think about the text

I need an obscene amount of coffee in my life. for some reason it doesn't keep me up lol. might be the fact that I usually make lattes and cappuccinos

Oh no im happy with the fact im not affected. with how much i could drink if i had access to it, I would never sleep-
(I fear i have run out of coffee pods)

caffeine is a drug, and with consistent use of any drug, your body will build up a tolerance to it.
I don’t drink coffee, but I bought a red bull the morning of my history exam since I slept poorly, and I was unable to sleep that night.
My father however, has 2-3 shots of coffee every morning, for the last 20-30 years. At this point he’s just drinking it for the taste.

Coffee makes me sleepy, im yet to try a red bull

 

[flummi]

Also it's not a drug, it's my saviour

this shit sounds straight from chatgpt

 

[flummi]

And honestly--? That's growth

I like red bull because it tastes like apple and blackcurrant juice which is one of my favourite juices.

also caffeine basically works by not giving you energy but masking adenosine (a chemical that makes you sleepy). Caffeine is also a stimulant so if you have adhd it can produce a calming effect, making you sleepy. but there seems to be a lack of research about this.
