Higher Drama 2013

I noticed there was no Higher Drama thread for this year so I'd thought I'd make one for discussions/help/predictions etc. :smile:

How do you guys answer the dramatic commentary section?
I never get it right, would help to know how the marks are distributed on it, anyone remember?

Section A and C questions were really good, and section B was a brilliant passage, though I wish I spent a different amount of time of each bit, and that drama was not right next to English! (didn't finish section a or c but I hope I get 42/60 for an A) how did you find the rest of it?

I liked sections A and B but didn't manage to finish section C and only put in 13 points along with quotes obviously.

I personally found it dull. Not the worst. But not the best.
(I hate Act Two haha)

Yeah I am the same would of preferred Act 4, but at least it's easy to know who's on stage and how it's set out. Lucky for me we'd acted that scene out in class literally just before study leave haha

Hi guys, I'm crashing Higher Drama this year and I've got my first NAB coming up. We've been given 3 essay questions to choose from and can plan the essay at home so we're prepared for the actual NAB. I'm just looking for some advice on how many points I should make and sort of a layout I can follow each time I write an essay? Thanks in advance!
