The exam - advice
Odette:
--- Quote from: "BA22" ---
--- Quote from: "Odette" --- I could always read over the stimulus material because its right there infront of me, but the quotes aren't...
--- End quote ---
maybe. . but then you've read the stimulus material twice. Wasting 10 minutes
Doing reading time --> listing quotes --> writing task doesn't work either because then your banking on those quotes to appear in your essay, which you won't have planned. It is possible to do the writing task, by all means, and if that suits you, then yeh, go for it
But i know which way i'm doing it on friday

Ok thanks :)
I'll see how i go on the day...

Here is my plan for the exam. :-)
feel free to adopt/change/discard!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reading Time (15 minutes)
2 mins ? Skim all text essay questions for the three texts (find them!). Do any immediately appeal?
5 mins ? Carefully read and reflect on the Writing Task
Why is it so controversial?
Who are the stakeholders?
How has this evolved?
How might this be resolved?
What stance is taken in the analytical piece?
3 mins - Return to the text questions, select question, open the dimensions of the question and brainstorm.
2 mins - Determine precise textual details / quotations you might draw upon as evidence.
3 mins - Re-read the writing task
Hear the tone of Part 1 material.
Identify best Part 2 question for you to do.
Writing Time (180 minutes)
5 mins ? plan language analysis
25 mins ? write language analysis
5 mins - plan point of view
25 mins ? write point of view
5 mins - plan text response part 1
50 mins ? write text response part 1
5 mins - plan text response part 2
50 mins ? write text response part 2
10 mins ? proof reading and editing
bilgia:
im going with the issues first then txt response...seems logical to work on something you have just read in the reading time..
chocbanas : i think you would need more time on the issues section for analysis especially..its not something that can be done in 25mins..30-35 is more reasonable...i mean you spend the whole year studying txt's and its more of something that you should immediately know where as issues is a spur of the moment type of task with respect to picking out techniques and placing them in your natural style
but this is all just my opinion
