Shouldn't you be doing both? Make 4+ perfected essays and some additional, pertinent quotations that are not covered in your essays, just in case.

Lots of people are using "The Arrival" and the other Shaun Tan books. I've already contemplated using "The Arrival" and decided not to; more of a personal choice than anything. Thanks guys, btw. I've found my related texts, one unusual and the other pretty standard these days: "The Secret...

Sorry about that. Yeah, I don't use Jacaranda that much (C.Chem FTW), but my school teach said that just to be on the same side, you should call the alpha particles and such involved in the production of radioisotopes "nuclei", just to be sure. But I'm bad - you guys are right: they are...

I would tell you to keep both, but, hey, I'm biased - Chemistry and Ancient are my favourite (and strongest) subjects. xD To be honest, if you absolutely HAD to choose, I'd pick Chemistry over Ancient History. 1) Humanities are usually riskier than the sciences unless you're topping/near...

In this case, I'd generally assume that "chemical processes" means the radioactive decay of the nucleus (my teacher said something along the lines of "the changes in atomic number and mass number can be considered to be of a chemical nature"). Basically, just provide the pertinent (and CORRECTLY...

Confirmed this with my Chem teacher and a girl who topped Chem, that you can write it as Aerath has (you won't get marked down), although BOS prefer the equation involving HOBr. It's one of those Board things that pisses off Chem teachers who religiously follow the IUPAC. xD But yeah, the...

For the commercial isotopes questions, I'd answer in terms of this marking scheme: 1 - Define radioactivity OR define "radioactive isotope" [You don't have to necessarily do this first; just do it SOMEWHERE in your answer] 1 - Provides a definition and example of a commercial isotope 1...

Arigatou, guys, for the suggestions. Will look into Bruce Dawe's poetry including Enter Without So Much as Knocking and will think about using Alice in Wonderland (although I'm not confident that I have the skills to pull off a fully fledged psychoanalysis in 300-ish words. ^^;; ) I've looked...

...I got your attention with that title, didn't I? Well, get your mind out of the gutter 'cos we're not going there today. The real purpose of this thread is to solicit some advice from people who have done the HSC English Adv. course or are in the midst of it. See, my prescribed text is As...

As the title suggests, I have an English Adv. Assessment Task coming up and it's modelled after the Unseen section of Paper 1: AoS. Except there's a twist - it's a listening task. Basically, due to BoS requirements, the school has to assess us on "listening" and "representing" so they've merged...

Well, hi. I knew you'd be lured in by the title. =D.Basically, I've just started Ext. II and am currently stuck between two ideas. I was originally researching for material on my original MW idea - an exploration of how different people and cultures communicate and interraction, negatively and...

"Explain how studying these texts together deepens our understanding of both the texts themselves, and also of the worlds they explore". That's the essay question, and we're expected to write 1000-1200 words (~3 pages) for it. X.x The two texts are "Heart of Darkness" and "Apocalypse Now", the...
