Use the syllabus as your guide. Knowing ur syllabus is important so you know where exactly the crime question is coming from. Go through it, the dot points will be what ur paragraphs in the essay are on - select some to use (or use all of them for plans and merge some into the same paragraph - I...

omg thats so weird!! idk then 😭

for future reference

I made this around trials and finished during the HSC (I'd probably do it earlier when you're actually doing the topics in class) the essay plans had a question - or multiple - around a syllabus point, sometimes they were actual past HSC questions, or sometimes they were practice questions I...

for example, this was a doc i made to link all my conflict essay plans corresponding to the dot points - it is a lot of work, modern in general is sooo much work and requires a lot of preparation so its good to start early.

I created a plan for every syllabus dot point (or just about) if i remember correctly - i did purposely ignore a couple and hoped I wouldn't get asked (luckily i didnt). It seems overwhelming at first, but if you start writing some plans now it'll be really great preparation for trials/HSC...

when you write an essay, the point of everything is to prove your argument or thesis statement. If you're saying that a law is highly ineffective, the evidence is used to support this. before you start writing, you need to make a judgment on the question - for example, "Assess the effectiveness...

make essay plans for the syllabus dot points that are in the topic assessed practice writing an essay to a question - use what is in your essay plans to guide you, practice writing it in 40 mins. when you see the question take 5 minutes to plan your essay - come up with a thesis/argument and...

I memorised my entire modA essay and I think it's one you can easily get away with doing if they don't specify as a lot of the questions are about the new text interacting with the old text etc. I think when you write your essay you have to make it general enough that you can adapt it to more...

I did this and it worked super well, especially for retaining information. My legal teacher used to enforce this with our homework, which was always learning the next week's topic - I think there have been studies done on this method that show it's effective because in class you're solidifying...

I'd say that modern is a lot more work than ee1, so if you're feeling that way about the course now I'd change to ext. It's a completely different style of writing to any other humanities subject but the more you write, think, and formulate arguments the better writer you will become, yes...

Do you really want to do ee1? over modhis? it's definitely a more enjoyable subject in comparison to adv, the analysis is definitely different and you go much more in-depth into your texts. A lot of the cohort ends up with an e4. The exam is also great, only two hours and two sections so it's...

look for past trial papers and ask your teacher if they have any from previous years they can give to you. I wrote some of my own practice questions based on syllabus points

I think I have one? I don't remember yr11 well but its narratives that shape our world? my first assessment task was a creative for read to write so idk 😭 edit: I have both my yr11 essays (cannot remember the topic for the second) so I'm happy to send them if they'll help - I think I got...
