Crucible essay topics

[nacho]

I was wondering whether anyone had a list of these?
I don't want to tackle the past ones just yet, but just to get things sorted straight, do all conflict texts have the same topic in the exam?
If that's the case, i was still wondering if there were any text specific topics for the crucible.
Also, in the exam, for context, do we only bring ideas from the texts we have covered? Crucible and rugmaker (for me) or are we allowed to (and expected to?) bring ideas from outside, eg war in afghanistan for encountering conflict.

thanks

They have one prompt that is relevant to all the conflict texts, however you don't have to mention BOTH of the conflict texts (however that said, you can if you want to) that you're doing, relating one to the prompt would suffice. Just make sure (as I've been told) to not mention too much on the texts themselves and bring in outside examples, like what you said about the war in Afghanistan, other wars, and other types of conflict you observe at present (doesn't just have to be limited to war conflict).

These are some 'crucible specific' prompts:

1 ‘Conflicts from history can teach us many things about ourselves and the times in which we live.’
2 ‘Conflict can reveal unexpected qualities in an individual.’
3 ‘The prime instigator of conflict is fear.’
4 ‘Social order can deteriorate into conflict and anarchy with disturbing ease.’
5 ‘An individual’s ability to deal with conflict is determined by their self-knowledge.’
6 ‘Why conflict occurs is less important than how it affects people.’
7 ‘It is through conflict that we grow.’

I'll add more to it if I find some

For conflict context prompts, try this site: http://bhs-encounteringconflict.blogspot.com/2009/05/5-types-of-prompts.html

1) All conflict topics are the same in the exam.
2) Yes you have to bring in ideas from the texts. Note this though: Students are reminded that they must
follow the instructions given on the examination paper: ‘Your writing must draw directly from at least one selected text
that you have studied for this Context and be based on the ideas in the prompts’ and that they must show the link
between the text and the response. The term ‘directly’ in the instructions did not imply ‘specifically’, rather it meant
incisively, perceptively and judiciously. (2009 English Assessment Report)
3) It is the outside ideas (Social Parallels) that gets you the marks. "Explore the ideas of the Context first, then explore the text – this may avoid the text becoming too much of the focus (2009 English Assessment Report, in Some critical advice ." Getting a mix between international and domestic examples is ideal.

And this topic by Zafaraaaa, "Conflicts from history can teach us many things about ourselves and the times in which we live" is really good.
