How do i write a 10/10 proposal? advice please?

There is plenty of good advice in the Getting Started: Major Work Proposal thread or if you have developed a proposal already, I'm sure there are people who can give a good critique.

personally i think that u need to explain wat ur doing, in very specific detail, so that the marker can understand exactly wat ur trying to portray in ur major work. [of course this does not mean right a 4000 word proposal, so pick and choose ur words wisely.]
if the marker can see exactly where ur going with ur major work and ur writing is conscise and clear...u should do good.
thats what i think!
cheers

there are a few things that you need to do in order to score well. Firstly it is really important that you explain your intentions, that is what you hope to achieve through your major work, what it will cover and why and perhaps a little about your motives (though this should really be discussed further in your reflection statement.) Make sure you show how your major work theme or subject connects in some way with either or both English Advanced/extension preliminary or HSC courses. It is really important that you show this link and how what you learnt inspired you to base your major work on what you have.

The proposal is a good place to identify your target audience, who do you think your major work will appeal to and for what reasons. Try not to be too generic in what you say...i.e don't say anyone between 8 and 80 could read it, as that begs the question as to why an 81 year old couldn't etc. Try instead to give your audience certain characteristics, interests etc...because things such as maturity and intelligence aren't necessarily defined solely by ones age. You can even make yourself your target audience, explaining that your major work will satisfy your own interests and answer questions that you are looking to answer...your target audience will very much depend on the content of your major work, although I'm sure you understand what I'm getting at.

I'd be more than happy to read what you write, so that I can offer more specific advice if you need it. Good luck writing your proposal and of course with the rest of your major work!

my proposal assignment was soo ridiculous, you had to do a proposal in the medium of ur major...sooo poorly constructed an assessment

all done

my proposal didn't go too well, cause i did it before i really had figured out which way i was going... I'm the only person doing e2e at my school, so it's a bit hard to know where i should be up to by now... anyway, didn't go too bad with the proposal, and i actually know what i'm doing now, so yay.

anyway...

So long as you know what you're doing you'll be fine. Though that being said it's normal to change the focus of your major work a little as you go along...it's all part of the process. Af far as knowing where you should be goes, I think everyone would be at different stages...as long as you work steadily away at it you'll have plenty of time. I spent a long time researching, the writing doesn't take that long...you may find that the majority of your time initially is spent on investigating your form and the topic you'll explore. You're only really too far behind, I think, if you haven't really researched because you don't know what you're doing...but you seem clear about that. You have a lot of time to play with yet, so just find the material you need and write your work...so long as you leave yourself enough time for a reflection statement, and the editing of your work you'll be on track. Good Luck!

Sometimes I wonder how you guys manage to dig up such old threads.

You can get more info on the proposal here: http://community.boredofstudies.org/9/english-extension-2/92292/assessment-proposal.html

You're probably more likely to get a response there, too.
