Exams.

yep

 

yep, * bricks

i only know quotes from 1 poem and i need to do prose aswell

 

Int 2 1.00pm today! Done int1 in 3rd and 4th and got an A but I'm not looking forward to this. 2 essays in 90mins we should be allowed notes.

 

exactly my thoughts.

 

good luck to everyone doing english today

 

Remember for Mid-Term Break spell Seamus Heaney correctly! Our english teacher was crying when we were reading it.

 

cheers

all i can say is, i can forget doing higher english

 

You can only do your best! When I done my credit Geograhy ages ago I wasn't optimistic but I got a very high mark so anything can happen!

 

I was lucky today, I learned two pieces and both of them came up . The close reading was about video games so it helped to understand :icon_mrgreen:

 

Higher English was ok i guess.

im glad the close reading was about video games cause its at least a bit interesting and understandable although i don't see how the * they can give us a passage written by Boris Johnson, hes an idiot.

for drama i done the question about a character who feels insecure about his position in society for John Proctor in the Crucible which i think i have done alright in although i started writing the introduction and the first two paragraphs for a different essay and i had to scribble it all out.
for poems i done the question on a poem which is critical of a set of views on old woman and calvinism, i think that essay is a lot better than my crucible essay.

i am confident that i have passed, but i am likely to just get a C. i might be surprised though.

 

Had Higher English today;

Felt the Close Reading was reasonable, but there was one * of a lot of analysis questions! What happened to the good old 1 mark understanding questions!?

CE was mixed. Done questions 7 and 13 for The Cone Gatherers and London, noticed when I came out question 6 fitted The Cone Gatherers great but didn't realise it at the time which was annoying though!

Fingers crossed.

this is the article where they took the second close reading passage from. most of it hes actually just slagging the labour party and gordon brown.

 

Hahaha Boris is a buffoon! :icon_mrgreen: I did the same Crucible question as you, and before that I also did the introduction to another Crucible question (the tension one) before scribbling it out. But in general I thought it was ok, and I'm never going to have to analyse another quote or deconstruct another image ever again :veryhappy:

 

yeah, the tension one was the one that i started.

i actually managed to use up the full booklet of paper for my two essays, i was pretty happy with that. and throwing away all my english stuff knowing that i will never have to do english again was probably one of the best feelings ever :icon_mrgreen:

 

When I was reading passage 2, I couldn't help but read in in Johnstone's voice haha!

I thought the exam was reasonable. I chose number 3, the question about tension at the end for The Crucible and number 14 for my poem. There was a belter of a question for the cone gatheres too but I shat myself and couldn't think of anything that came up in that * * book!

 

yous get a passage about video games.

what do we get? how texting is ruining the english language

 

i wrote about a poem in the prose section. whats the chances of the marker not noticing? and even if he does notice will i still get some marks if its on task?

 

Risky move there. You're * if he's read the poem!

 

i didnt mean it. i genuinely thought it was a short story!

 

For the question about tone did you say that it was sarcasm?
The passage was crap!!!!
