english ext 1... critical, creative or both? (1 Viewer)

[ahhhhro]

Yeahh I hope so! For prescribed we covered Hamlet, Katherine Mansfield short stories and the Lost in translation movie, they were all pretty nice! Which texts did you do?

Oh wow, we do the exact same texts! I <3 Hamlet

i’m a bit worried for this exam since our class had to switch electives between term 4 and term 1 (our old teacher quit and we’ve had two stand in teachers since, but they’re really great) so it was not fun relearning content but now i realise how fun all the electives are and how they teach different but still just as interesting ideas. we switched from reimagined worlds (pans labrinyth, Coleridge, left hand of darkness) to literary mindscapes (hamlet, lost in translation, dickinson) and i love all these texts. my related text is misery by anton chekov and wow i really feel like doing ee1 is so worth it, even though its my worst subject rn cus our class did not adapt well to the change in teachers/electives.

might be an unpopular opinion but i am really hoping for a full creative in section 1, the only thing im actually good at in english is imaginative writing LOL

full creative in section 1

I want a split section I, probably 15 mark critical and 10 mark creative. Just feels like there's less pressure to write a massive 25 mark piece when its broken up like that for me.

Meanwhile our teacher dipped a term early without teaching us anything to do with critical essays in Section A lol

 

[iheartcookies1012]

if u get lucky, itll be a creative and u can just reuse what u prepared for mod c (that is only if you haven't prepared tho...)

but most people good at eng are praying for a 25mark critical since that is what actually differentiates between a pre-prepared response than writing a good one on the spot

25mark critical since that is what actually differentiates between a pre-prepared response than writing a good one on the spot

This is exactly my take. Having any capacity of creative means there will be masterpieces that people have memorised.

Im doing 2 prescribed, 1 related. If they ask for 2 related, too bad.
