Hi Guys! I was struggling upon making my first post until I watched the video and wanted to know how I could start a new topic.

Hello! To start a new topic, simply go to the relevant board (EG - HSC English Standard), and click the "New Topic" button, it is in the top middle-ish of the page, in blue! It will come up with a window to enter a title and your question/whatever you like ;D

Quote
Another thing for english standard HSC, we have received a shit ton of homework and got the following question:

Plan and write an extended response for Billy Elliot ( under timed conditions)
Q.Through the telling and receiving of stories, we become more aware of ourselves and our shared human experiences. Explore this statement with close
reference to your prescribed text.

I didn't quite get how to answer the question other than the fact that for planning, I would need to research the verb in the question.
If its ok, I would prefer a lecturer to look at this. P.S I also need help in general breaking down questions for english standard... as in planning them..

thanks!
Komal:)

Essentially what this question is asking you to do is explore the role of stories in the human experience. This is very broad - You can define 'stories,' and of course 'human experience,' in a lot of different ways! To explore it just means to present some concepts (EG - Stories enrich our human experience by providing us with perspectives we would otherwise never experience) and present how those concepts are represented in Billy Elliot ;D

So I'd be coming up with some key ideas, and trying to find evidence (quotes/techniques) to back yourself up!

Feel free to post any other English questions in our English Standard Q+A! :)

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
At the moment, i'm in year 12, 2019! My subjects are modern, english adv, 3u maths, chemistry and legal studies. I used to do physics, but I dropped before my first internal exam, because I didn't really like the classroom environment and the pressure to do well.

2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
The Kissing Booth. Super predictable plot (the title pretty much says it - two people falling in love at a kissing booth) and poor character development (cough cough) Noah. I skipped through so many parts of The Kissing Booth because it was that cringe worthy. Here's a video that sums up my thoughts pretty well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UKaaEvH7uI&t=2s.

3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
Invisibility, so that the zombies won't be able to see me.

4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
Sounds super cheesy, but I want to be happy and enjoy my life in the present moment, even during hard times. That being said, I want everyone that I meet to also be happy and feel included. If I'm being honest, I'm not really sure what I want to do in the future but I know I'll figure it sometime before HSC - maybe medicine or psychology? I have no idea.

5. If you had to summarise your life in a paragraph, what would you say? (Optional).
James Charles saying "here's the tea" for five minutes straight because if you know me in real life, trendy phrases (aka. yeet) are essentially apart of my vocabulary. But also I love chatime that much - my go to order is peach fruit tea with no pearls, if you are wondering. Ok if I'm being serious about this, I'd say the Nike slogan of 'just do it' because life is too short to not try something new and the experience you get out of it is so worth it. Without having a go, I can definitely say that I would not be the person that I am today.

Hey! :)

That's an interesting group of subjects, were you motivated by interest for all of them?
I like that you're finding pacifist responses even to the zombie apolocalypse
How long / why have you been interested in urban planning?

not really hehe xd
i chose vcd cos of my interest in it and also cos that's related to what i want to do in the future. and i also had studio arts last year but i thought 2 folio subjects would be too much so i ended up in history, which i am kind of interested in. the others are more for the sake of keeping options open.
i became interested in urban planning recently, it's always changing hehe! idk, i just really like looking at buildings and pointing out all the things i would change.

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
Year 12!!! I do Advanced, Extension 1 and Extension 2 English. I also do Modern History, Society and Culture, Standard Math and Drama.

2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
I hate Disney's Frozen. 1. Because it's another fairytale/princess story and 2. Because I had to watch it sooooooooo many times as a babysitter.

3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
My weapon of choice would be a German Panzer tank. It serves as a shelter, transport and a weapon.

4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
I want to be involved in foreign relations. Ultimately becoming an English teacher for people in Naru would be great!

5. If you had to summarise your life in a paragraph, what would you say? (Optional).
Rough and rocky start, but now I feel like I'm on a roll and going places!

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
I'm in Year 11 and i'm stressed.
My subjects are Maths Methods, English, Chemistry, Visual Communication, Business Management and Physics 😭. I moved interstate and did not choose any of my subjects. They are all 1/2 will it be too stressful to do 5 3/4s next year?

2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
I can't really think of one? I usually only watch movies that I know are good.

3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
Invisibility cloak? Man I’m think of bird box though

4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
Maybe to get into Dentistry or as a backup radiography?
As a person, I would like to become more caring and compassionate.

Welcome to atarnotes! :D

Doing 5 3/4 subjects in year 12 is pretty normal - I'd guess it's the most common amount actually :)

What state did you move from btw?

Hey!
Welcome to AN ;D

I'm in Year 11 and currently doing Literature, Chemistry, Biology, and Psychology!
What's your favourite subject? (Yes, there's a correct answer ;))

Are you only going to do 4 VCE subjects or have you already done one/are you planning on picking up another next year?

I do know that I like cool shirts, cats, and the color purple.
How do you feel about cool purple shirts with pictures of cats?

Hi there! ;D Thank you! Forgive my inexperience with forums, I hope I'm doing this right! >A>''
My favorite subject - oh no, hahaha, now you've got me worried! - I'm urged to say Psychology.. but Biology is undoubtedly a close second!

I'm definitely considering picking up a 5th subject in Year 12! (Likely extended research?)
And oh. my. GOD. That shirt is INCREDIBLE and I want it. Oh my life. Thank you for the welcome.. and the amazing shirt! (I didn't even know all of my favorite things could be in one place like that..)
Well you haven't broken the forums yet so I reckon you're doing it right!

Hmmm I hope biology is a very close second, but I did enjoy psychology so I'll let you off this time ;)

I actually tried to find a photo of a cat wearing a purple shirt but it turns out that it's rather difficult to find a photo of that, so I figured that photo would be the next best option
