How many pages have you done on your Romeo and Juliet essays so far?
Ive done 12 A4 Pages on my first draft and i'm just tweaking a few bits now.
You?
omg lol, i did 1 page when i did it last year.
Haven't done that yet. Doing gothic literature atm.
our teacher is slow so only just started studying it.
12 a4 pagess????
we've been told not to do as much because the exam board were complaining they were too long.
all i know is i wrote 1253 words on my pre-14 poetry essay.
I've done around 2-3 pages (A4)
Im doing Romeo and Juliet and have come to the part where Lady Capulet enters.. (Act 3, scene 5).
Anyone doing this?
We're doing the creative writing bits first :]
I've nearly done the draft of the Film review.
Romeo and Juliet?
We not done that.
I only did 2 and a half pages of A4 for mine last year and managed to get a B.
Umm,
it's not just english people :S
I did it too, erm. . . . about 5 pages. we had to had 4 at min and maxium 7 so I did okay I guess, got a 2. our grades are different I guess..
He meant the subject...Quote:

Yeah I did 3 or 4 and got an A. To be honest if you write too much the examiner gets bored. At A Level you have word limits and if you get into the habit of writing lots it's really hard to get out of that and you just make the whole situation a pile of crap for yourself!Quote:

No it isn't, only took me a few days to do (1st draft)Quote:

Its quality not quantity you morons!
I only done 5.
Last year, (because it changes I think) we did Great Expectations. A boy in my year (11) that's doing his A level maths atm, lol did 18 pages in size 12 font, lol.
Madness.
I got an A on that though :). I think I did about 7.
You've got to have gone well over and you will probably be marked down for it. Im in Year 12 now and we are only allowed a maximum of 2200, and a minimum of 1800 [Mine was 1970]Quote:

I've done like, one paragraph...
I'm in year 11 and i've just done my Romeo and Juliet coursework.
I did it on Monday night the day after it was due in lol (I know) owell!
Was due in on monday, forgot about it as i lost the sheet, had to do it in lyk 2 hours when i came home from school, but as long as it's ok.
12 pages.... GET A LIFE!!
(I did a character study of the Nurse. we had like 10 q's to chose from) If your c.w is 12 pages, likely the examiner might get JUSTABIT bored...
We're still watching the film, well we're at the end when they both die.
Sigh, i honestly cant be bothered to do this, it sucks..
First The Crucible, now this =/
I haven't done Romeo and Juliet or Shakespeare yet :S
I've done
Media (Compare The Longest Day to Saving Prvate Ryan)
Just finished draft of The Christmas Carol.
Did a few pages on those.
So probably doing something like R & J soon
Im currently doing Sherlock Holmes, the speckled band. Anyone else done this?
I am sure you didn't, but the fact is 12 pages worth of points is too many points.Quote:

We ish doing it as an oral exam in pairs :)
12 pages seems a bit much :s
We're going to do that. Doing the 'The Seduction' & 'Cousin Kate' now. Finished original writing c/w. And we done speaking & listening and I got a C because I hardly did anything, so I'm redoing that tomorrow at break or whatever.Quote:
