Hi, QCE English community!

I was just wondering if anyone is interested in doing an English study group for our External exam this year? I'm doing Shakespeare's Hamlet if anyone is interested, but I am more than happy to help with any of the other texts if needed :)

If you're interested, please message me via the ATAR Notes private messages or through my email [email protected]! I'm thinking that we could do it via Zoom, but if anyone has any other ideas, I would be more than happy to implement those instead.

Thank you so much and have a great week,

Darcy Dillon.

Hi, I'm currently attempting to write a creative piece relating to Australian identity with probably a focus on a feminist perspective. However, any idea I have seems too simple/surface level and was wondering if anyone has tips on how to avoid this without making it too ?philosophical? so there is a clear narrative structure.
Thanks!

Hi Jasmine!

Sounds like a cool theme for a piece! Do you know what kind of story you want to write about (e.g. a woman living alone in rural Australia; snapshots of the experiences of Australian mothers from different walks of life; a conversation between two female friends about their contrasting experiences, etc.) It'd also be good to pick a genre (e.g. short story/POV narrative, non-fiction, news article, podcast interview, etc.) just to give yourself a starting point.

Striking a balance between being 'too philosophical' and 'not deep enough' can be tricky, but it mostly comes down to the message you want to get across. It doesn't have to be a profound, never-before-seen insight into humanity... but it also can't be something incredibly basic like 'oppression = bad' :P Once you've got a rough outline of the subject matter for your piece, think about what you want the 'moral' of your story to be... what kinds of themes do you want to explore, and what do you want to say about them? From there, you can start constructing details in your piece so you can portray characters and choose plot points that suit your ideas.

Hope that helps get you started, but if you need more help, let us know! :)
