When doing part e for Section I of Paper 1, I tend to write approx. 4.5 pages for it even though I have only 5 quotes for one text and 5 quotes for another text and this can be detrimental if I end up doing this in the hsc. Any tips on how to be concise when analysing a quote, relating it to the question and relating it to discovery? I would really appreciate some tips please
Thank you :)

Two things I always get told, in this order:
-Use the rubric
-Lose the waffle.
If you know the rubric (front to back and back to front and all that) youll be able to take a snippet of the rubric and paste it in where it is needed.
— eg This effectively portrays the notion that discoveries are sudden and unexpected
Lose the waffle— you should be keeping to a structure (like PEASES, PEAEAS, TEEL etc) The acronyms are all different but it generally goes
Point/Topic Sentence/Thesis
Evidence/Quote
Technique
Explanation
Link to discovery
Link to next point.
No need to go off your tangent (like i do as well :/) and spend ages trying to work what you have written for parts a-d into e. Its a different question!! Therefore it deserves different quotes and techniques!!! Ok?
Let me know if you have any troubles and i hope this helps :)

Is there some kind of structure when it comes to writing answers for section 1? for example I usually write a rubric statement and then give an example... is that right?

Hey hey! Pretty much!! Roughly I do this:
1-2 Marks: Straight into techniques and examples, concepts throughout. 2 sentences.
3-4 Marks: Short paragraph starting with rubric statement
5 Marks: Two paragraphs each with a rubric statement
But you can alter this slightly of course :)

Have not looked at the rubric one time after trials... i will just incorporate random words like journey, exploration, critical, political leadership... Wing it big time

That's great advice. I am however kinda confused about the fact that my teacher took away some marks from me just because I didn't analyse the quote separately as well (by that I mean I linked my quote to the rubric but not analysed the quote) so clarifications would be appreciated
Thank you :)
