Hey, Cali.doyle!
I wrote up some original questions in response to another user earlier in the year which you can have a look at in this thread :D I wrote them as close to the style of HSC questions as I possibly could. Hope they help in your revision and good luck for the exams!

Hey guys,
I am studying Worlds of Upheaval and my teacher advised me to structure like this:
P1: Frankenstein + on themes/ concept 1 to prove thesis eg Feminist reading, Freudian, Power etc
P2: Metropolis + on theme/ concept 1
P3: Related + on theme/ concept 1
P4: Frankenstein + on theme/ concept 2 to prove thesis eg Marxist reading
P5: Metropolis + on theme/ concept 2
P6: Related + on themes/ concept 2
Does everyone think this is okay? I did it in trials and it was fine. However, I'm afraid the markers won't like it if I'm only focussing on 2 in lieu of 3 concepts/themes that I would do for a regular thematic essay.
I was going to do one massive integrated paragraph on form at the end, to go into more detail and link the form/ construction of the text in proving the thesis just for the sake of a third 'concept/point'. But I am linking form throughout, and I think it is repetitive.
Also, I physically cannot write any more!
What has everyone else teachers advised them/ think?
Thank you!

Hello, is writing a satirical piece for my Literary Worlds narrative a good idea?

Hey, tafarax!
I think satire can be pulled off really well if you do the research and think carefully about how you wish to represent your ideas. It really depends on two key things; firstly, you need to still make sure it's driven by the "literary world" you have created. Your satire will need to be heavily setting-focused and have a strong grasp on a sense of place to fulfill the demands of the module. You may use your elective for inspiration and a basis to work with when constructing your fictional place and then allow the humour and irony to all come out of that.
The second thing you'll need to consider is the kind of question you're working with in your assessment and, long term, what you might get in the HSC. Your assessment should give you enough guidelines and direction to work with, along with room for creative freedom to allow your satirical narrative to emerge. In the exams you do, you'll need to tailor your story and prepared material around the unseen stimulus they provide you too so make sure you know your plot well and are flexible enough to adapt it. What were you planning on writing about/exploring? Might give me some more ideas to help you out :)
