News articles as related texts (1 Viewer)

If I wanna use a news article as a related text, what should I call it in the exam? Should I say where it came from and everything?

its either a newspaper article, feature article or editorial...in hte exam specify which type, the author, hte date and paper which it came from, as i have seen this in sample band 6 responses...to make sure- call advice line (opening tues 5 oct)

i just say "In the SMH article 'Patriotism vs Propoganda'..." to introduce it or whatever and my teacher and my mum (also a teacher) say its fine.

So would you get away with creating non existant articles?

lmao, yes of course u can get away with such creativity coz i doubt the markers will check out the texts for themselves

So is anyone besides me planning to use their creativity in the HSC?
