I did the story along with 60% of the state i guess. My prepared idea suited curious traveller straight from the get go. I hardly changed a thing and got it done in 25 mins 2.5 pages which got me 15/15 in the half yearlys so hopefully it will do so again

the questions were so broad for creative.
Many people would have wrote about a travellor, they just needed to add feelings of their curiosity, and then their prepared story

It's good if yours is half decent IMO. Markers would like a break I guess.

Doesn't really make a difference if you think about it. Based on poll = 10% of students did it = 6,000. That's still a lot of speeches, so the marker won't be like "omg a speech this is going to be great".

1 out of 10 speeches would be pretty few. How many do they mark a night?

I think I did alright doing the story, especially since several people stated they did the memoirs and then asked what a memoir was.

Memoir, My story did not fit the curious traveler, and i had no time to think, so i guessed a memoir was memories...and adapted a tiny bit lol. I think it was ok...

haha yeah i read memoir and i was just like what the fuck is that??
WIKIPEDIA: As a literary genre, a memoir (from the French: mémoire from the Latin memoria, meaning "memory"), or a reminiscence, forms a subclass of autobiography – although the terms 'memoir' and 'autobiography' are today almost interchangeable. The author of a memoir may be referred to as a memoirist.

Noun

  • S: (n) memoir (an account of the author's personal experiences)
