Module C – Trial Notes

Resource Description

Module C

MODULE C is Section III of the HSC exam and is worth 20 marks. It is usually split into two parts with a creative and a reflection.

 

ALWAYS read the question for the creative AND the reflection before beginning so you can tune your creative to the reflection and choose which prescribed texts you will use.

 

GO into the exam with themes and ideas you want to talk about i.e. loss, truth, memory, love and frame whatever you write about that and that will aid your reflection as the reflection should start with a thesis along the lines of:

 

“My Imaginative in Part A combined literary devices studied throughout the Mod C course to uncover the anomalies in our universal desire for validation.”

 

Forms of Creative Responses

Type:	Tips:
Imaginative	Purpose = creative ideas and form Must consider: Perspective (1st or 3rd) Time constraints (don’t need to write a complete narrative) Genre (could be poetry but not recommended) Audience
Discursive	Purpose = to blend personal insight and multiple perspectives on an issue although you can lean towards one side (IT IS NOT PERSUASIVE)  Must consider: Language Genre (open-ended discussion, essay, conversational tone) Audience
Persuasive	Purpose = to convince the audience of the legitimacy of your perspective. Must consider: Logos, ethos and pathos Directly address the audience Form (Speech, essay or article) Clear argument
