    only used one related text...marked down?

    I think if you wrote an absolutely brilliant essay using only 1 related text, they couldnt really go..ooh this is a band 6 essay but we'll put them in band 5 because they only used one... I think having 2 gives you the chance to maximise your marks but hopefully we wont get marked down for...

    how do YOU think english essays are marked?

    Yep English marking is SOOO rigged! I could hand my teacher a piece of Shakespeares work, claim it as my own and I'd still only get 12/20 for it! lol!

    Possible Questions for King Lear

    Hey guys, can someone just clear this up for me plz???

    What did everyone get for their trials for paper 2?

    I got 60% for paper two. It's pretty dissapointing - i buggered up king Lear but thats mainly b/c we had only just read the play and completed an assessment task b4 the trial. We hadnt had enough time to get a real understanding of differnet interpreatations and shit so that really brought my...
