Hello everyone,
I have thoroughly re-read the Assessment Task sheet, and the Creative Response Template. They are very clear. The instructions are explicit, the task clearly worded. There is no hidden meaning or subtext. You plan your Response by thinking about the original text and how your creative response will relate to and be faithful to the original text. The Creative Response Template ensures you are very thorough and clear in your planning. It is an aid to your writing, you should find that it clarifies your thinking, and forces you to be very concise.

You were given the Creative Template to plan and prepare your response over two weeks ago - a very generous amount of time to prepare!

Your Creative Response is exactly as per the Assessment Sheet and Rubric. The task is there, it is imaginative and creative. The criteria for assessing it is outlined in detail. The Areas of Study were given out to you at the start of the year, and we talk about them often in class. You will have studied the Assessment sheet over the break, and have taken advantage of the Easter holidays to practice writing your ideas, haven't you?

There are no surprises. I have not sprung anything on you to be tricky!

See you tomorrow, JC
