WHAT ARE U GONNA DO?......

[claire92]

Its VCAA, those bitches make the rules....

I think were actually allowed to complain to the coordinators (supervisors) if we get two structures its against VCAA rules.

1. Panic like shit, do LA and make up some bs for context. Then I'll probably spend 20 mins doing nothing and watching everyone else writing like mad, making myself cry on the inside. Then I'll go on to make the worst 500 word text response in history.

2. Throw my pens on the table, lean on my chair and casually read over my piece of shit essays. Then when we get out I'll pick up one of my friends and run around like crazy, go to the gym for 2 hours then go home and burn my english books.

I think I'm actually going to burn my english books.

Not the ones I can sell of course...

2. Find as many of my friends and hug them

i dont think they are allowed to give 2 structural essays..

hmmmm for the VATE exam, both were structural feature essays and teh iartv/cse paper was also effectively two structural feature essays....

[Kotza]

do excuse my ignorance (and stupidity)

but what do you mean by 'structural?'
im not sure if ive written a structural essay all year? :S

[kyzoo]

I don't think I know what a structural topic is either =(

[sgeorge]

Structural is where you have to talk about costumes, staging, how the text has been designed to achieve something

[ben92]

Structural refers to the linguistic techniques used by the author to accomplish things (e.g. use of tone.)

Example I did: How does the playwright [Shakespeare] depict Richard as a flawed figure who nevertheless gains our sympathy?

I'm actually hoping I get one for Richard III...

Edit: And yeah, structural good include stage directions but probably not costumes as those vary by production. Basically, structure is like language analysis.

[sgeorge]

I suppose it depends what novel/play it is. For A Man For All Seasons, costume is important but yeah.

[Kotza]

oh no wonder why i never did one, im doing text response on a novel.. PHEW!

What?

I have no idea about the costuming in AMFAS at all?

[tram]

yeah it's about how the author/playwright/director constructs meaning thought language/filmic techniques

e.g. characterisation/language features/ setting/ symbols/ structure.

It's one of the doptopints of the study design....

oh no wonder why i never did one, im doing text response on a novel.. PHEW!

you get them in novels as well...... i mean the author has to construct meaning somehow right?

[sgeorge]

The Common Man's outfits... and the Costumes section in the front. There isn't much, but they're still costumes.

[tram]

any topic that starts with 'how' is a structural features essay

[sam.utute]

I hope that there's a structural question for LBW. Apparently there's usually one every year, and that's basically all I studied for the film. Fingers-crossed
