Oooh seems like quite a few people here are studying Year of Wonders, and "Encountering Conflict" appears to be the Context topic du jour.

Judging from my prep sessions, a large proportion of the state is doing Cosi as one of their texts and Encountering Conflict.

I'm happy for marking with Lang Analysis, Richard III, and Whose Reality

My whose reality exam text was off Streetcar, but I enjoyed Enduring Love.

I remember reading Years of Wonder in Year 8 or something. LOL. It's a good read, much better than The Secret River, which is rather boring.

Not too sure how ranking is going to work since not every marker is going to see every essay, and it's hard to compare amongst markers since we each have different standards. It's nothing serious though so we can just go by what each marker has given each piece out of 10 and just take it as it is.

The Rugmaker of Mazar-E-Sharif isn't for text response, it's for context (Encountering Conflict).
whoops, my bad. The texts we're doing which aren't on the encountering conflict list are Maestro and On the Waterfront. So I guess these are the analysis ones.

Yeah that should be fine.. the ranking is no biggie. The main thing is that everyone gets advice on how to improve their essay writing.

Every marker nominates the best that they judged.
