Creative writing in Trials (1 Viewer)

[Kezalicious]

I was wondering what text type they had to write in the trial.
Mine was a journey diary and monologue.
Help, I don't really know how to write either. So if they pop up in the HSC I'm a little screwed. haha

We had to write a letter to one of the composers in section one about a journey we had been on, inspired by their text. That question fucked up alot of people me included but I think I'd be better for it if it came up in the HSC.

I think a journey diary is really common and could quite easily come up in the HSC, i have no idea baout a monologue though. My teacher always said with a journey diary you should try to write about a real journey you have been on, as it makes it easier to convey emotions and all that bs.

Hey Kez ... Ok there are some key things to remember when you are writing a monologue or diary entry...

Diary entry
- assume everything has happened - you are writing AFTER an event
- it should be a personal reflection
- put a date on it

Monologue
- you have to assume you have an audience
- address them directly (e.g. ask rhetorical questions) engage the reader
- Give them a scenario or context

Im not sure what else they could ask... A feature article?? Speech?? etc.

As well as a diary entry texts like feature articles for a magazine about journeys, or a speech to a group of people about your journey etc. (Mine was writing a diary for my trials).
As for the HSC try and have a few different journey texts written out based on something you know. Ie have a story or two that can be adapted to a feature article/diary/speech
