LOL Paisley... that's not a nice thing to say.... it's not my fault i'm a "Conscientious student" as teachers would call it....
but seriously... i haven't been TRYING to make it this long... I've just felt that with all my research and stuff, it needed to be this long. Especially having to give credit to people who have been supporting me through the whole process... so i dunno WHAT you guys have been doing with your journals.... GET A MOVE ON!!!! :)

there's time.... very little time..... i need hellllllllpppppp!!!!!!
this is soooo not fair... who cares about making this reflection formal... we should be allowed to personally reflect on it... so it actually shows what we DO think and what we DID learn... rather than blabber on CRAP which the markers WANT to hear.... how boring is that goign to be... to have to read the same thing over and over again?!!!!

i wish the reflection wasnt so important, and i just can't seem to do it.
i handed a reflection to my teacher last week and it had lots of blue marks all over it (i dont think she has a red pen)
she said at the end - 'to be honest, this needs a lot of work' :( how sad.. i dont think i'll show it to her again actually, or my mw.. she wants me to put this annoying music motif over the top of my stories, and it just wouldnt fit!
ive started my reflection again

That's really sad.... some teachers can be so tactless.... :(
i also wish that it wasn't so important... and the worst part is, is that the markers are goign to be completely subjective... it's the pits... i mean, if they could HONESTLY see how much work we've put in... THEN it would be fair!!!!! :)
Bu this way... it sux :(

Okay.... with the annotated bibliography. look at what it says at the Board of Studies....

It says your journal MAY include an annotated bibliography. It doesn't say must. A gal at my school got 49, I looked at her journal today, no bibliography!!!!

Every time I have read a text that has been useful or helpful for me I have written a whole entry in my diary about how the text has been useful. So I think that's enough, it is pretty much an annotated bibliography, it's just not all together as one thing!

The Major Work Journal must provide the following information:
a written statement containing a clear statement of intention agreed to by the
student and the teacher/school
reflections pertaining to the development of the Major Work composition.
It may also include:
method of approach
evidence of research and questioning
redrafts with reasons for any changes in direction
examples or indications of stimulus material and reflections upon them in
relation to the development of the major work composition
reflection on the extent to which intentions were achieved
reflections upon the finished product
an annotated bibliography.

I got my report (reflection statement) back today, (funny, because I handed it in this morning, it was marked on the spot - took about 10-15 minutes to read it, mark it, record outcomes, etc).

16/20

The highest (out of 7) was 19/20.

I hate my reflection too, I didn't focus on my purpose and my inspiration and other personally motivated crap.

Hey, 16/20 is good, considering I wrote it at 2am this morning.
HAHAHA! :cool: :D

im surprised that your teacher made the due date so late though...

the funny thing is, my stories have a purpose - to change my reader's perspective (oh the pain of aos!) but im not sure if i have a concept.. lol is this my concept? oh i am so confused.. im just talking about language devices atm.. i think i'll do my rs for another 2 hours or something and then just give up...
