Well the area of study is Change, have u started the area of study at school?

Anyway, come trials and HSC, u have to be able to write about how the stimulus text relates to the notion of change, in association/link to your prescribed text and other related texts. Things u'll have to talk about is the idea of change, the process of change conveyed by the author/artist, consequences of this change, and the techniques used by the author to convey this meaning.

Theres a few texts in it...about 5 or 6 I think. I gave mine back to school and don't remember exactly whats in it, but from memory, a picture and a photo (which is one text, linked), two poems, a short story, a little speech thing by Flacco, a picture of a fractals website, and I think that was all...


The booklet wasn't very good...Sky-high and the two poems were OK. The picture would have been OK, but I think there'd be way too much to write about. The flacco thing was totally stupid, and so was the fractals thing...there are SO many texts relating to change I don't know why they would have chosen those two.


I think the best ones to write about in an essay are the two poems. Flacco and the website there is barely anything to say about them. The graphics have far too much to say, and I think Sky-high has a bit too much too.

just remember that the bos could specify (pretty unlikely) which text to write about from the stimulus booklet.

you should know how the stimulus texts relate to your prescribed texts and supplementary material (in terms of ideas relating to change and techniques) ... also know all of the stimulus texts because they (the board of studies) can specify which of the text you must discuss in an extended response ...

I don't think they can specify which text to write about in the stimulus booklet, you only have to write about one of your own choice.
