What do I need to know for English?
Unless you have a photographic memory you are not going to be able to memorise 4 essays and a complete creative writing piece. Slide4
Start with the
essentials
What do you absolutely need to memorise for your HSC?
You must memorise all quotes depending on your previous essays that is anywhere between 12 quotes and 40 quotes
You need to know the techniques you are using. At this stage you should be able to recognise the techniques in your quotes. This should not have to be new study or information for you. If you don’t know the techniques you MUST know this.Slide5
What next?
If you are confident that you know all your quotes, what next?
You may want to memorise your THESIS STATEMENTS. This will allow you to know the focus of your essay and trigger what info in your memory should be in each paragraph
After this you want to memorise the structure you are planning to use so you can write a coherent argument.
This could be PETAL or PETAAAAAL or PETAETAL or PETAETACETAETAL with the P(thesis) the E(examples/quotes) memorised the techniques and analysis should come from memory. This is the advantage of having formulated your own arguments and ideas rather than memorising someone
elsesSlide6
How do I study then?
Unfortunately once you know those things there is one other way to make this work. Completing TIMED practice questions and timed past papers.
The only way to get better at reproducing and adapting these essays are practice, practice, practice.Slide7
Creative Writing
Memorise your plot line and key quotes
Practice adapting your story to different RANDOM stimuli
MAKE SURE THERE ARE CLEAR LINKS TO STIMULI AND DISCOVERYSlide8
DRAFTS
I am taking drafts in week 9. Electronic drafts will give me the option to track changes or print and edit.
I will accept 1 draft per section (that is 5 drafts per person one for AOS essay, AOS CW, Mod A, Mod B, Mod C
Why week 9? I will not have time to ensure all drafts are marked after that, If I do not get them back to you early you do not have time to apply feedback
Why don’t I draft right up to the HSC? Your HSC is not a hand in assessment. You are tested on your ability to REPRODUCE AND ADAPT your essay. Practicing writing your essay out without notes in the time conditions and marking that yourself by comparing it to your polished version is far more valuable than trying to make your polished version better when you won’t be able to memorise the changesSlide9
