unless its in a creative response, NEVER use first person as it is a trap. 'your understanding' should be how it enhances the readers' insights on a particular idea
nah my teacher said nesa said at the teacher meeting last year that you can now use first person in essays too if you see fit

Does anyone know how to write in different forms for mods A or B, not a normal essay? I just found out that it's a possibility and I was not taught shit about that

I haven’t memorised really but I have detailed quote tables and I’ve memorised 10-15 quotes for A and B and their techniques, effects, Atwood’s purpose etc - should I be okay?

make sure you've got some context in there, but otherwise you should be fine!
Thanks bro I think I’ll be okay. Yes for Tempest-Hagseed yes I’ve memorised quotes applicable to forgiveness/revenger, power/control, feminism, compassion/dehumanisation towards prisoners, metaphorical/physical prismatic elements etc

Similar thing for Good Night and Good Luck Mod B.

It’s just that the large amount of fake and speculative “leaked” prompts and a lot of potential misinformation on the potential exclusion of an imaginative is really making my Mod C a grey area. I have a good imaginative 15/15 that I have memorised but I really don’t know and might have to make something up on the spot it seems

personally for mod A i just write clunkier paragraphs since you have to talk about 2 texts concurrently - a lot of back and forth
and for mod B (i do eliot so idk if this fits other texts that dont have multiple poems/sections) i use more structured paragraphs with one poem for each (unless they give an extract which kind of screws everything up...)

Hey guys im trying to memorise my discursive but nothing is going in do i just hope its narrative
I really don’t see why they’ll break the convention of giving you a choice between persuasive, narrative and discursive. You should be fine. It’s always been like that since the inception of this syllabus.

I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows
They know me where it snows, I skied in and they froze
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice, I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so, I've been told

I'm in my prime, and this ain't even final form
They knocked me down, but still, my feet, they find the floor
I went from living rooms straight out to sold out tours
Life's a fight, but trust, I'm ready for the war

Woah-oh-oh
This is how the story goes
Woah-oh-oh
I guess this is how the story goes

I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows
They know me where it snows, I skied in and they froze
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice, I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so, I've been told

From the screen to the ring, to the pen, to the king
Where's my crown? That's my bling
Always drama when I ring
See, I believe that if I see it in my heart
Smash through the ceiling 'cause I'm reaching for the stars

Woah-oh-oh
This is how the story goes
Woah-oh-oh
I guess this is how the story goes

I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows
They know me where it snows, I skied in and they froze (Woo)
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice, I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so, I've been told

Highway to heaven, I'm just cruisin' by my lone'
They cast me out, left me for dead, them people cold
My faith in God, mind in the sun, I'm 'bout to sow (Yeah)
My life is hard, I took the wheel, I cracked the code (Yeah-yeah, woah-oh-oh)
Ain't nobody gon' save you, man, this life will break you (Yeah, woah-oh-oh)
In the thick of it, this is how the story goes

I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows
They know me where it snows, I skied in and they froze
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice, I'm just cold

I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice, I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so, I've been told (Ooh-ooh)

Woah-oh-oh (Nah-nah-nah-nah, ayy, ayy)
This is how the story goes (Nah, nah)
Woah-oh-oh
I guess this is how the story goes

i was reading the syllabus and matrixedu and it said you may need to respond imaginatively. How would you go about that, making an imaginative piece rather than a structured essay

oh what? is it referring to this thing in rubric: 'By responding imaginatively, interpretively and critically students explore and evaluate individual and
common textual features, concepts and values.
i'm pretty sure its referring to what internal assessments for module A can entail - like how common mod requires you have a related text in the assessment but not in the actual hsc exam

so i wouldn't worry about writing something imaginative for paper 2 tomorrow (for module A anyway)
