How to avoid story telling in Text Response

[Genericname2365]

I know that for Lit, sometimes the examiner who marks your piece will have not read the text it's a response to

Am I the only person who finds this disconcerting...?

Nope, I do as well. It certainly conflicts with what I've heard. Surely it would only apply for the lesser-known authors though, not authors like Mansfield and Harwood.

I'm pretty sure the examiners are required to have read all the Lit texts and know them fairly well.

You don't have to take my word for it, but I've heard this from a few Lit teachers, one of whom usually has about 2 50s and a Premier's Award winner every year, so I'm willing to bank on what he says. It is a bit distressing, and possibly untrue.

I agree with Charmanderp. I dunno shit about Lit, but his name has Charmander and derp combined, so...

Haha, that's true.

My Lit teacher is an assessor this year and she was complaining that they have to read every text on the exam. You would think it would be smarter to allocate different teachers to texts that they've become really familiar with but I guess not.
