Finding related texts
« on: July 19, 2017, 06:37:06 pm »

Hi, everyone.

I was wondering if we are allowed to use the same related text for more than one module. If we are, does anyone have a related text that suits both module C 'Exploring Transitions' and the area of study 'Discovery'?

Thank you :)

100%! it's actually encouraged, as you don't have to remember a new set of quotes/techniques for a new text. here's a link with a heap of discovery related texts: https://atarnotes.com/forum/index.php?topic=168810.0

this link is my saviour for related texts - it's for discovery, but exploring transitions can fit into that as well: https://atarnotes.com/forum/index.php?topic=168810.0

i'm also doing billy elliot, and any ya novels work quite well (especially the cliche ones like divergent or city of bones from the mortal instruments series) but if you're running out of time there are lots of great poems (i can't think of them right now, sorry!)

are allowed to use the same related text for more than one module.

Module C and the Discovery essay are two seperate sections in two seperate papers so there is no need to fret about any overlap or repetition (except mixing it up and not answering the question). They are marked separately and do not come together in the HSC.

iv heard that HSC markers get annoyed when we use trending texts instead of texts that seem sophisticated
and also if you do sophistcated texts like famous poems you have more chances of getting better marks
how true is this??

Hey! While doing a more 'sophisticated' text may give you more techniques to include, which could lead to more marks that way, the idea that using a specific text makes you more likely to succeed by itself is pretty false! It's what you do with it that counts ;D
