My first english assignment was worth 40% of our assessment mark so that was a bit of a shock.
We had to create a stimulus booklet with 4 texts related to area of study. We then had to answer several questions and do a speech on our stimulus booklet, answering a fair few questions.
I got 38/40 for it in total and regarding its worth 1/5 of my total advance english hsc mark i'm extremly happy with that.

Thats a pretty good mark. You should be happy with that.

i'm doing frontline too

i dont know why we started with that module first..

we had like a listening task.. i dont know what i got yet.. it was yesterday

We did an audio-visual response, but our teachers are so bloody slow at marking, we'll be lucky if we get them back this year!

we're doing frontline but our first assessment was on journeys.
fuck, i hate our english assessments. it was a 'conversation'. if we're going to do an oral task we should do a proper one not some fake convo with a friend where you pretend the markers aren't watching you...

 

[babygoose!]

we started with speeches - module B - and just had a listening test..it was so bad..could barely hear the speech cos it was all fuzzy and everything..

We have a listening task on Friday on journeys

 

[cro_angel]

all of last week we had to do speeches for frontline
in relation to the statement 'the truth is rarely pure and simple' by oscar wilde.. frontline.. 1 related text and 1 aspect of the rubric (eg who has the authority to make statements.. process it goes through to become true etc)
we havent got our marks back but it would be really boring to mark cuz everyone talked about all the same techniques and stuff

Is frontline any good, we're doing it last, and our teacher reckons it's the best module to study?

 

[Xayma]

We had an essay on History and Memory, 50th gate and a listening/viewing stimulus with the question mainly asking how it is achieved, I spent a page on colours

 

[cro_angel]

yeh frontline is heaps good its funny which makes it interesting.. and even better no reading

 

[The Bograt]

Ender's Game is really good also.
To think, an english text that is enjoyable...

 

[cro_angel]

i got 13/20 for my first assessment.. he wrote i talked too fast and relied on my palm cards too much.. and i had a nervous start
damn lol

we had to choose a movie of our own choice, relating to a journey, analyse it, write an essay, memorise it, and spit it out in 35 minutes

 

[cro_angel]

35 minutes?
oh my goodness
i couldnt even memorise a 4 minute speech lol

When you think about it, it's not a bad idea. You might be lucky and go into the HSC exam and find that you practically have to write out an essay that you have previously done and because your school has made you memorise it you know every single word.

 

[~dEjA vOuX~]

True, but in the HSC we won't know the question beforehand

l'm doing frontline as well, but not until the end of next year.
