1st in Advanced English 2016 - Ask Me Anything!
Huzaifa:
Hello Emily
I attended your English advanced lecture and it was amazing and really comprehensive, I'm just wondering though, what tips would you have for us English Extension students, particularly for 'After The Bomb.'? How do we structure our EE1 essays? Does the integrated essay structure still work, even with the 2 prescribed, 2 ORT thing. Also, what would you consider the main differences in writing between the EE1 course and the Advanced course?
Thanks so much 🙂

Hey there,
I'm not too sure what you mean by TEE tables? Technique, Example, Explanation?? If so, I think this is a clever way to organise your quotes. However, you're most likely to remember the things you understand most. So, I would always try to link my quotes to an argument. This also helped in the stress of the exam room, when you have to write arguments on your feet. If you don't understand a quote, and you're only using it on the advice of your teacher, I would try and look for one that better shows your understanding of the text, and most importantly, the module focus.

Hey there :)
I've got two questions for you:
1) Do you have any tips on how to make strong connections between a prescribed text and a related text?
2) And if a question is really vague like, "how does discovery affect a person?" how would you recommend approaching it?
Thank you and congratulations on first :)

'Learn from your texts. They've been set by BOSTES for a reason. They aren't trying to torture you, even though it seems like it. Your text is important, your text is valued. Take a deep breath and write the damn essay' Repeat this, like a mantra, until the HSC is over (especially if you do Yeats)
