The common module for both Standard and Advanced are "reading to write"

I am actually so excited about this that I'm not actually sleeping at all.

agreed :P
besides that nothing dramatic seems to be changing though with modules A and B (just how they're packaging it) but module C is being replaced with a whole creative writing thing....... i'm sure class of 2019 will have fun with that ;)
RuiAce:
Man. The good thing is that it's going to be implemented after I've learnt this stuff. The bad thing is that even then how will I know what extent the HSC goes into and how to help students out haha

Apparently there's no prescribed text
MODULE C: THE CRAFT OF WRITING
In this module, students strengthen and extend their knowledge, skills and confidence as
accomplished writers. Students write for a range of authentic audiences and purposes using language
to convey ideas and emotions with power and precision.
Students examine and analyse at least two challenging, short prescribed texts as well as texts from
their own wide reading, as models and stimulus for the development of their own ideas and written
expression. They explore how writers of sophisticated fiction, nonfiction and poetry use language
creatively and imaginatively for a range of purposes to express insights, evoke emotion, describe the
wonder of the natural world or invite audiences to share an aesthetic vision.
Through the study of enduring, quality texts of the past as well as recognised contemporary works,
students analyse, evaluate and appreciate the versatility and power of language. Through considered
appraisal and imaginative engagement with these texts, students reflect on the complex and recursive
processes of writing to further develop their ability to apply their knowledge of textual forms and
features in their own compositions.
During the pre-writing stage, students generate and explore ideas through discussion and the
compilation of ideas and speculations. Throughout the stages of drafting and revising students
experiment with various figurative, rhetorical and linguistic devices, such as imagery, narrative voice,
characterisation, dialogue and tone. Students consider purpose and audience to carefully shape
meaning. During the editing stages students apply the conventions of syntax, spelling, punctuation
and grammar appropriately and effectively for publication.
Students have opportunities to work independently and collaboratively and to reflect, refine and
strengthen their own skills in producing highly crafted, imaginative, discursive, persuasive, and
informative texts.
Note: Students may revisit prescribed texts from other modules to enhance their experiences of
quality writing.
This module may be studied concurrently with the common module and Modules A and B.
So rather than this being a module c of "representation of texts" it's rather a creative task (something that I'm really bad at)
RuiAce:
A personal experience:
Last year I was completely crazed about Sword Art Online. I had a think about my creative. I thought I wanted to push the margin of writing about fantasy - definitely do not go unrealistic, but stretch the boundaries.
Then I thought about how Asuna's life was full of discoveries. I ended up writing about a teenage girl who was virtually never exposed to the outside world until ... (it's my creative, you're not meant to know the whole synopsis ;) )
