Thoughts on Paper 1 of the CSSA Trial Exam (1 Viewer)

[hollyy.]

i started with the creative, made it fit the q : good.
next i went section 1 - and i liked the heritage house, hated the symbols thing but the mars magazine article was the easiest to talk about. ran over time in this.
lastly section 3 - essay, really stupid q, stuffed it up bigtime.

i thought it was a great question. Very general so you could talk about whatever you liked since it was your understanding.

it was too vague for me.

I've got to say, that I didn't do all that well in this. I found Sections One and Two to be quite straight forward, but I was taken aback by Section Three. It was so general, that I really didn't order my thoughts very well at all.

I spent 10 minutes planning, which amounted to nothing, and then found I didn't have enough time to talk about my prescribed and related texts in much detail at all. Ken Watson's 'Imagined Corners', as a multicultural anthology, is just an extremely difficult text to talk about in the available time - especially in any sort of detail!

After I had talked about 'The French Prisoner' and 'Fax X' I ran out of time, even though I had intended to also use 'Of Eurydice'. Then my related texts, a film and a novel, were mentioned in little detail as well! I only wrote two pages for this piece, which is pathetic. Probably the worst I have ever gone in an exam, but I guess I can only improve from here.

Also, the journey over time in my Section Two creative piece was intentionally subtle... but on reflection, I hope that it wasn't so subtle that the marker is unable to see it.

Heritage Home = Shit
Section III was a pain imo. i think i did pretty average overall so as long as i pass ill be happy.

did some of the worst work ever today

i took the advice of a teacher and tried to do section 3 first but i was trying for about 45 mins to constuct an awesome thesis statement and ended up only wrote one sentence on my class text and related text

section 1 was alright even though i skim read the whole this and used what i had managed to pick up

section 2 wrote one whole sentence clap clap clap

and the worse part is i have special provision cause my writing is pretty elegible if not read carefully so i had to use computer with extra typing time
trouble is i hate typing on the computer and my marks have been getting progressivly worse since i started using one, i can't think clearly, i spell simple word incorrectly and my eyes kill. i learn from writing not from what i type, it how i always study and usually my sentences are constuct 10 x better when i write but the only reason i've computer's due to typing a few word more on a question when i was tested to see if i need it more, not the quality of the content that i wrote

but no one listen to me bout it

anyway this trial was only worth 5% at my school so fuck it

So who else forgot to give their creative writing a title??

 

[lovecookie]

The comprehension was the biggest pain ever! Especially Heritage House. I don't have a very good feeling about this one.

I know.. what makes it worse is that I had the best fucking title lined up.

It depends what style of writing you used, if you did a journal then you need you, but its not really a requirement to a titl,e its never come up in class of in the past years marking criteria

 

[BackCountrySnow]

I don't think you have to.

yeah, but I thought of a title. And it suited the story so well.
It would of made the marker cream himself.

Haha, I don't think the title would've made a one mark difference or anything. So I think him creaming himself would just be an unsaid compliment.

 

[hilaryslover]

bahaha. I forgot to put a title to! Crap!
But seriously as if it matters... It might make it look like a prepared response. I dunno. Ugh! I hate everything.

Heritage Home was ok but those symbols seriously wtf.

 

[missashy]
