I forgot about the whole barn raising thing, it would have worked well!
To be honest... It's the only thing I remember.
Still can't believe Sheldon Cooper saved me again. He is so screwed up he is easy to write on :). At least it's over, now onto methods!

No we didn't?
Weren't we just supposed to right what kind of context we were doing? i.e. Encountering conflict etc.?

I knew going in that context would be the hardest thing for me.

And holy fuck....I had an hour and 20 minutes...took me 40 minutes to work out what to write; I was doing Whose Reality with Streetcar as the text -> did I understand the prompt? Definitely. But I had NO CLUE what the fuck it related to in the book...ended up with 2 pages of garbage, probably lucky to get a 5

Seriously VCAA, give a different prompt for each book, because this was fucking ridiculous

whose reality killed me, in no way shape or form did it work for me, i pre wrote my story and then produced it in the exam, if it doesnt fit but the writing itself is good what is the highest mark i am looking at?

Yeah, you weren't meant to write what kind, only the prompt area.
It's okay guys, deep breaths.

Conflict was pretty good i thought..

went in with a memorised prompt which meant i used the word compromise like 10000000 times..

hopefully doesnt stop me getting a 9 or 10..

same! completely disagreed;
use this quote by mary parker follet:


There are three ways of dealing with difference: domination, compromise, and integration. By domination only one side gets what it wants; by compromise neither side gets what it wants; by integration we find a way by which both sides may get what they wish.

kind of argued that we need to integrate and not compromise as we will compromise our morality, and not dominate either

ah thats a great quote!
I argued that when it comes to our rights and people's lives at stake, it is not something to compromise about
