'Super hard' words aren't really that beneficial Just focus on good expression instead.

Just write like Nabokov and consider your life complete

... perhaps every fortnight, we could get someone who got a very high mark in english (any 50s in the house?) to pick the three best essays (or rank them all from 1-last, but that could be a bit upseting for some members in the 'last' category) and then we could use that to form a VN language analysis leaderboard!

And the leader at the end of the year gets a free fredo frog

The leaderboard suggestion sounds good as well!

I'm going to get back to you all and see how I'm going to get this thing happening.

[Greatness]

I want a freddo!!!! I doubt ill be near the top tho xD

I like  what Teevo said! But maybe not super hard words, im leaning towards more sophisticated words that you could use in most essays.

One of the most important things I learnt from English this year is that the examiners would prefer complex ideas over complex language any day. One of the major criterions for a VCE English essay is clarity and cohesion; simple language would do in my opinion.. BUT a few 'sophisticated' words here and there wouldn't be a problem.

[shinny]

With each language analysis, I (or others) could chuck in a 'word of the week (well, fortnight)' which you could potentially use for that article. Chucking one or two complex words is alright just to show off, but it's not a necessity except when aiming for like a 10/10 or so and usually ends up being detrimental since most don't know how to use them effectively.
