Title: Language Analysis PREDICTIONS... Comparative
Post by: lokzo on September 25, 2014, 11:06:35 am
Rumours been going around that this years language analysis will be based on more than one text (comparative)

Does anyone have a good plan/structure that they would use to set out the LA for a comparative piece

WHO ELSE AGREES THAT IT WILL BE A COMPARATIVE!?

Lmao I heard the opposite.. I read somewhere that the vcaa are reluctant to do a comparative since students tend to analyse the differences rather than the language in the texts

Yes agreed - there was an utter backlash against the 2011 English Exam due to its Section three which was a comparative type.

Have a look at it for yourself - very ugly...would have hated to have done that year. Doubt VCE will do that again.

Cheers for the input people!
Well, technically it is on the study design though, so some would say, its due this year!!

I didn't say that it 100% won't be a comparative. Potentially, it could be. Dw man just analyse the language and you'll do fine :-)
