More than 1 internal for context?

Hii :)
So for the context I was thinking of using 2 internal resources( guaia+ skin ) as well as external examples when writing an expository - has anyone done this for the exam before??

I don't do it but it is easily okay. I have heard that assessors like that.

That's great but thing is - on the context section of the exam, were meant to write out the main text were using - so does that mean even though I'm using both I have to focus on one more ? Hope this makes sense hahaa :)

No, you can focus on both equally if you like. :) I was told at a recent lecture by a VCAA assessor that if you are drawing upon two texts in your context piece, you can simply take your pick as to which one to write as your main text.

Hey thanks for the clarification :)  Are you thinking of using 2 texts?

No worries. :) I am actually, a combination of ideas from both Sometimes Gladness and GUAIA. I think, if well done, using more than one text is a really great way to demonstrate your knowledge of the context as a whole. Good luck!

You can in your essay but when you have to say which one you used you just list one.
