What order are you guys planning on doing the modules tomorrow? Also, what would you do if 40 mins is up and you're near the end of the first essay (3 mins left)?

Out of curiosity, what order did you guys do the paper today? I think I was the only person at school to do: Creative, Short Answer, Essay
tmo: conflicting perspectives (ted hughes), texts in time (frankenblade), critical study (hamlet)

order today: creative, 1/2 short answer, 1/2 essay, 1/2 short answer, then just tried to finish the essay halfway through it LOL.

Hopefully 40 40 40.

I did short, creative ,essay. I mean, you just read the texts so might as well do the short answer questions when its still fresh.

I did creative->short answer->essay as well.

Unfortunately I spent too much time on my creative, so I had to rush the short answer to get to my essay on time.

Was i the only one who did Essay, comprehension, then creative? o.o

Btw did anyone mention about the positive sense of belonging through the tree, for 1a (although it was dark and whatever, there was still leaves growing, producing colour and providing some sense of hope even if the individuals were different/back-to-back)

oh lol i completely just made up my answer to that question. i think i said something along the lines of the two people being in vibrant colours and as vibrant colours represented warmth, it showed they had a positive sense of belonging...or something like that :\

I talked about the fact that they overlapped, so they had belonging there. I also mentioned how they had similar colours to the leaves which grew together, so they belonged. Such a bullshit question, IMHO.

Ideally: Short answer, essay, creative. I.e.: in descending order of intellectual input required.

4 pages is rather short. Ideally should be aiming for 6 imo. (by 6 i mean those fat ass chunky hsc style booklets which fit like 200 words per page)

I tend to write really big

and indent every sentence, so i can cover about 1 and a half booklets

But.. with the stress of not knowing where to start, i'll be lucky to pull off 6 pages..

i just hope Hamlet is an extract (that basically gives us the answer with techniques and quotes) :D
