I also did Irish. Thought it was the stupidest question possible. My plays also didn't really suit the question either. Dancing at Lughnasa wasn't too bad, but Plough and the Stars was pretty hard to find the comic elements. Oh well. It's all over now!

They are, but you still have to have the right answers :P The markers will have a marking guide for the things you should have in your answers. How many you have is how many marks you get. You don't start out with 100 and then they slowly take them off. You start with 0, and build up. The...

I was actually really surprised with how i found forensic... considering due to my class being behind, we never covered the theory, really, just the prac. I pretty much crammed the entire topic in one hour the night before the exam. And I didn't draw a blank on any of the questions. So that was...

I really found the whole paper pretty easy. The answers are given to you, you just need to know what the questions are asking for. It's all in the music. I hated the brassy interpretation for question 3 I think it was. It was so dissonant and really hard to listen to. Worst piece of music I've...

I enjoyed the Tomorrow books immensely. John Marsden is one of my favourite authors, he just write so well, with so much emotion. Awesome books. Probably the thing I'll remember most is the death of Robyn. That was just so incredibly well written, it was really beautiful, and sad. I've also...

I recently borrowed the book <u>The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas</u> to possibly use as a related texts for History and Memory, looking at The Fiftieth Gate. I'm very interested in using it, but I have a feeling that with your related texts, they have to be different text types. I already have...

It's helpful to be familiar with all 6, because maybe the two you've chosen won't fit the question they ask. My teacher is always telling us that it's good to study 2 or 3 in detail, but also study the rest as well, so you know enough about them to be able to talk about them to some detail.

I'm doing three vivas. So, it's just the core performance and the vivas for me. For my first, it's Music of Film, and in that I'm looking at the movie Forrest Gump, and how the Forrest Gump Suite helps to strengthen the emotion and mood. My second is on Jazz. It's looking at how George Gershwin...

My subjects are spread out pretty well. I have at least a day between all my exams, except for English and Music on the first day, but that's alright for me. I don't mind Drama being so late, because it'll be my last exam, and I'd prefer drama there to something like Chem or Maths.

No way. That's the worst thing I've heard. Did you hand write everything? Or just didn't save the stuff that you did?

Oh no, that's really awful. What did your teacher say to you? Surely you could get a misadventure or something? There must be something you can do. How did your teacher manage to lose it?

I had a maths teacher that yelled that out in year 9. The class shut up instantly, not sure what we had heard. She also taught us to remember rise over run (gradient) as when you're sitting in your bath, and you fart, the bubbles rise over your legs, that run. She was a classic.

Re: Muckup day ideas We have to give a list of our plans to our principal to be checked and allowed. Or not. Most years have done the gladwrap on the toilets, honey or vegemite on the doors and hand rails. Shaving cream, water bombs on assembly. Because there are a few of kids at the school...

My group has turned out really well. It's a group of 6, which I wasn't too enthusiastic about originally, but we all work really well together. We had motivation problems, between forming our idea and getting into something physical. The biggest problem we faced was that one of our members...

My friends are all going to Newcastle for schoolies. Staying at a caravan park. The planned time is a week, but I haven't yet decided whether I'll stay the whole week. Couple of my friends will be turning 18 in that time, so it's more a celebration for that.
