Why do schools choose speeches as their text??? (1 Viewer)

[klaw]

Why the hell do schools choose to do speeches as their module B text??? We have to know stuff from all 12 texts coz they might specify a speech wtffffffffffff. It's not like they're gonna specify that you have to write about a certain scene in King Lear or something..... sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

oi stress less..if they did specify it would be something simple like Lincoln or Keating or King etc. i wouldn't learn them all ur just wasting ur time..

..fingers crossed they dont specify!

klaw just chil, Listo was screwing us over in class freaking us out unneccesarily

UPDATE: ok i checked out the some old paper, the last time it specified was in 2002 where it asked you to "refer" to Abraham Lincolns and "at least" one other speach. So even if you got that question, refer could mean as little as a paragraph and then you could go on with other speaches that you've been studying. but in 2001 and in the last 3 exams they havn't specified so just stop worrying so much. Good luck

yeah, I know all the eariler ones becuase that language is more advanced and difficult to understand(Cicero, socrates.etc) will score you more marks i rekon if you can analyise them well.
