For common mod Section II, if the question has 'storytelling' in it, does that mean form or ideas?

I think my teacher once mentioned ideas, setting, narrative, characterisation, etc. but idk double check

You also need to talk about the role of different kinds of narratives - like the greater thematic parts of the ur text i think

My prediction would be short qs must have at least one comparative so my guess is 3,4,3,4,6
And the common would be an extent but my guess would be it either leans towards individual motives or storytelling

Ok so what do I discuss in a storytelling question?

the story?

Ok so what do I discuss in a storytelling question?

IIRC if you are like me who is doing a drama (The Crucible), it would be more form-focused with a heavier emphasis on narratives and characterisation. But I have no idea, I just have a canned intro where I just have "storytelling" lol. My entire tactic consists of basically just 3 characters and 10-ish quotes and just bending my analysis towards the question.

Ok so what do I discuss in a storytelling question?

Talk about macro-techniques like form and stuff and then characterisation and also how context is used (or retold in the case of The Crucible). Also talk about all your other memorised quotes+techniques but link them to how it enhances reader understanding and stuff. Also dialogue is a major thing and any social commentary the writer uses.

im predicting the essay question will be
how does storytelling provide insight into anomalies and inconsistencies inherent within socities

So form stuff? I can do that

for a play, should i talk about how many acts/scenes for storytelling

Yeh I think that would be good. Like for e.g. Shakespeare's 5 act structure builds tension and allows character development and suff. That's a macro-technique for example and you can't prove it with quotes so you'd ideally have a macro-technique after your topic sentence and then explain using your normal quotes and micro-techniques (simile, metaphor, blah blah) in the body how it supports that as well.

Since I predicted 3/5 of last years questions basically word for word (https://boredofstudies.org/threads/english-advanced-predictions-thoughts.410787/), here are my predictions that you asked for. Keep in mind I haven't thought about English in a year, so this is purely gut vibes.

SHORT ANSWER
There will be 5 short answer texts:
1. Prose fiction
2. Poem
3. Prose Non-fiction
4. Prose Non-fiction
5. Poem

No images this year, sorry.

There will be 5 questions.
1 - 2 Marker (Text 1)
2 - 3 Marker (Text 2)
3 - 5 Marker (Texts 2 & 3)
4 - 4 Marker (Text 4)
5 - 6 Marker (Texts 4 & 5)

------------------------------

COMMON MOD ESSAY
Will be a question involving, how does your prescribed text ignite new ideas in regards to (smthg about paradoxes). This will be harder than it looks at first glance, as they'll ask for the paradoxes OF something, e.g. How does [your text] ignite readers to consider new perspectives on the paradoxes of (insert niche human experience).

------------------------------

MOD A
Feel like the idea of the authors context will be in the question. Maybe a 'To what extent'?? So maybe you'd be analysing the two texts, through the lens of their contextual epochs, which I think is somewhat tricky, but ultimately wouldn't require too many tweaks to a base essay.

------------------------------

MOD B
Going to be adjacent to the idea of structural integrity (maybe asking how a certain idea within the text is developed?).

------------------------------

MOD C
I can confirm, you WILL get a choice. Likely to be 15 and 5 marker.

 

[Kat.crazi]

Wait so this is for sure?

HAHAHA no these are predictions
