Context- Referring to set text

[soccerboi]

What is the minimum amount of evidence recommended from set texts? Is dedicating one body paragraph for the set text enough cause i usually spend 1 paragraph on my personal experiences,1 on real life examples and then 1 on the set text. But i've been thinking maybe this is not enough on the set text?

Any ideas?

our teacher said you can hardly go into the text your doing, she said as long there is a tiny bit of evidence relating to the text/film it is fine, my school is doing skin and she told us if you just say skin colour relates to identity/belonging its enough and she also said that some of the best essays she has written its been difficult to find where the evidence to the text is. hope this helps

Oh wow really, if that's the case then that's awesome! Cause i love to write about my personal anecdotes and examples/ideas form reality but really hate writing about the set text (GUAIA and skin)-->takes forever to find the perfect examples...
Plus, i think examiners would find reading personal stories/real life examples to be far more interesting then evidence form the set texts as anecdotes are unique to each individual, unlike the evidence from the set texts which they probably have read heaps of times from students from previous yrs etc.

yer you will only be penalized if you don't mention anything about your text/film (if my teacher is correct )

All your ideas should be, in one way or another, relatable to the texts. You're going to get more marks if you make these links as visible as possible.
