wait for paper 1 r we predicting anomalies, inconsistencies + paradoxes?
i think potentially, but looking at the rubric again, it would be something more general like "make connections between themselves, the world of the text and their wider world" bc that hasn't been asked either

My school asked a similar question like that in trials for common mod.
and then they asked to write an imaginative on paradoxes in mod c.

Quick question to the advanced math ppl, how do you determine the strength of the correlation coefficient based on the value of the coefficient, e.g. 1 or -1 means perfect correlation and 0 means no correlation? I remember running across like a rule of thumb where they said things like correlation coefficients ranging between this and this are moderate in strength and stuff like that.

1 is a strong positive correlation i.e all points fit in a line of best fit that goes upwards, this is true vice versa for -1. 0 is where all points are completely scattered and it is impossible for a line of best fit to be possible.

Also 0.5 or -0.5 would be moderately positive and moderately negative correlation respectively.

1 or -1 means strong /perfect correlation. below 0.50 is weak and then between 0.50 to 0.75 is moderate.

yep the closer to zero the weaker the correlation, the closer to 1/-1 the higher the correlation

I've had the same thing all week, but its gotten better so theres still a chance it could go away b4 the exams --> if u do it in the exam room make sure an exam invigilator sees and stuff cause then if u need to they could sign off on smthn for nesa saying like misadventure? maybe?

i would talk about the power of performance. like how richard standing between bishops shows how is humble/pure and etc etc and is feigning modesty to get the citizens to want him as king. like its ironic how they say "his grace stands, tween two clergyman". for pacino i would talk about how pacino fake acts like an everydayman throughout his docudrama to achieve his purpose --> make shakespeare accessible to a modern audience and this is evident when he says "its an act and these people buy it"

idk this is just my interpretation and obvs id include it in my already prepared paragraph on the power of performance

my two themes are pursuit of power and duplicity so i would keep them the same for all questions and just adapt.
for this question i adapted pursuit of power by talking about how shakespeare saturates kr3 with religious allusions (refer to extract and wider text) to appeal to elizabethan morals and how richard's evil is seen through his constant search for power. contrastingly, pacino removes these religious references and involves the audience through street interviews (refer to extract and more), etc, making it more accessible for them to understand richard's power in a modern context.

then for duplicity i used the extract in kr3 to talk about how he purposely positions himself with religious symbols to show the appearances vs reality and then also talking about in lfr how this is adapted as pacino uses duplicity himself to further his ambitions

idk if this is right, but i use similar stuff in my trials and stuff and did quite well?
