[pastelchild]

loved the essay question, comprehension was okay... and my planned creative was no where near communities so i had to adapt in a reallyyyyy weird way... ughhhhhh... paper 2 tomorrow!!!!!!!

For the creative, I mentioned the first quote, and then straight-away skipped the to next scene, is that fine?

comprehension was weird, everything else was decent/good

I'm so happy my predictions for identity were right! It fit with my generic, I just had to twist the perceptions thing to fit right in. As for creative, i smushed the second one together with the first sentence of my thing. My story isn't necessarily about "larger-world, society" type communities, but hopefully they interpret it as familial communities

Not sure what I talked about in section 1 though, I used the first text and tried to bs my way through whilst desperately searching for techniques. Lol. Gg.

Was a pretty easy exam, although i realised halfway through the first comprehension question that it was asking about the book cover and not the actual article. So i wrote like over a page for 3 marks hahaha

I did the same thing!!

Did you develop a relationship between the quote and your story?

Just looked at the 2014 exam.

My thoughts as a 2013er

Section 1:
- Very weird. No 2 marker. Just a bunch of 3 markers then a 6 marker.
- 6 marker - very surprised. It's just basically another 3 marker (since you only need to choose ONE text, rather than TWO texts), except you need to increase your analysis.
- Actual questions themselves are actually easy.

Section 2:
- No central element BS. Just simply a first sentence needs to be used.
- Individuals finding their place in a community? Well, I can see some kids having creatives that might not fit that.
- Overall, pretty good question if you ask me.

Section 3:
- Identity being shaped by connections? That is such a NICE question.
- Basically, any decent generic essay can be easily adapted to this question.

I think 2014 AoS as a whole = relatively easy AoS paper.

WHY DO THEY EXIST. THAT WAS CANCER.

I spent way too much time on them and didnt even finish. I had to finish my creative in 25-30 mins (left out ~100 words out of 1100) and then zip into extended, but I couldnt write the last stretch, aka my 2nd related paragraph. so to save my structure i had to write the conclusion

Idk I linked my thesis to belonging because AOS is about belonging?

It was pretty boring. I screwed up creative bad. My set ones had nothing to do with community because I was avoiding cliches. Ugh

Same problem with me :'(

 

[ushnakhalid]

not but srs did anyone else write about two texts in the 6 marker by accident lmao

Connections, association, inclusion, belonging, solidarity etc. - it's all correlated words.

In fact, teachers prefer that students avoid using the word 'belonging' too much.
