im fine with both, as long as they don't pull something from their ass and make us do a persuasive
lowkey I kinda like persuasive cause I can just go on random rants and argue about stuff. But it's just kinda hard to evaluate unless I evaluate like high modality language which is really bad to evaluate and me trying to gaslight people into agreeing with me

Is that possible cause I haven’t written one since like year 6
It's basically a formal one-sided version of a discursive. i've been told by my teacher that you are prepared for one by doing discursives.

can someone explain what a discursive is cause I've never done one and I've never been taught one so if they make us do it in the hsc I'm screwed. My teacher better teach us sometime soon. I have the opposite problem. Ik what a persuasive is just not a discursive

basically yapping but formalised
you’re just talking about your experiences with a topic or whatever and dropping random ideas

I’ve heard that it’s like u a persuasive but u have to take multiple sides or smth and then u can add like figurative stuff and anecdotes in it or smth. Idk I’ll figure it out later.

have you ever kept a journal or a diary? In my experience, I found discursive writing to be essentially just how one would write when reflecting on their own experiences.

Omg that’s so fun. I used to keep a journal in primary where I would write everyday. I still do occasionally. Wait I actually wanna do discursive now

they can ask persuasive text this year (idk about advanced) cuz they have asked discursives and imaginatives only questions before but never persuasives.

Yeah but they didn't ask imaginative at all last year whereas persuasive and discursive was an option.
