Comparative Modes you are studying for L.C. HL

PictureFrame

Hey, i'm just interested to know what modes you guys are going to study for the HL Comparative (English) 2012. For the case of this poll, the following I will use the following abbreviations:

* GV - General Vision
* T/I - Theme or Issue
* LG - Literary Genre

Canard

LG + T/I

We left out LG - yeah its probably gonna come up, but apparently its a load of waffle and our T&I and GV+V are pretty much the exact same with even more to write for GV+V, which is also meant to come up, so I dont mind

Cool thanks, can you vote on the Poll above , thanks! ^^

I'm just trying to get a rough % of the amount of people going for each option, purely for the purpose of satisfying my need to know useless knowledge! :P

Canard

LG + T/I

Done!

Haha yeah I'd say it'll be mainly my two and your two :P

Zomg Okay

T/I

Voted LG, should have voted LG + T/I. My bad. :P

GV + LG + T/I (All 3 modes)

Doing literary genre and theme/issue just because I'm too lazy to write a general vision and viewpoint essay.

LG + T/I

Voted! Doing theme or issue and general vision and view point. Just need to finish my notes on the theme.

Does anyone here prepare key moments answers as well as general ones or is there any need?

Literary Genre and Theme Or Issue. Wish we did GV&V tbh, Literary Genre is so boring to write about.

They can ask it like that which is reeeeally annoying, so I did an answer on it but got like a C because I couldnt think of enough. They generally seem to keep to the broadest possible "how did you come to understand it?" but you cant be sure I guess

I think you could just talk about the theme and how it affects you - what we did as Theme was growing up in the third world and how its bleak, so our GV+V is how this bleakness affects the reader

We did key moments and the general answers last year, but only general questions came up. They'd hardly only ask key moments though, would they?

I think our teacher last year told us to just focus on our favourite, so I just went for the general ones.

Good point, but I tend to steer clear of the 70 mark ones tbh :P 30/40 is just so much better

Whaaat?! Those ones are really hard! I end up writing way more for them but actually say less when I answer them. I always try to avoid them!

They're so handy! You dont have to make any comparisons in the a part, and you can leave your best ones til the b part and then because you already have 30m you dont need to write as much

Well my teacher is giving us notes on all 3 but I'm only studying for the Theme/Issue and General Vision I don't like Literary Genre it seems more complicated and not as easy to remember.

Is everyone just putting together an essay and learning it off? :pac:

Mysteriouschic

LG + T/I

I'm just learning points from the notes my teachers given.
I might try and do a chart to compare/contrast them and be able to look at it quickly
I'm learning verbs for each contrast and compare so I don't use the same words all the time.

Bubbleope

GV + T/I

why are so many people studying all 3 modes!? lunatics. :pac:

we did all 3 in class but i'm leaving out theme and issue cause i don't think it's gonna come up.
so it's literary genre and general vision and viewpoint for me.
