Yo,

My english teacher just phoned me and said that 100% aqa are investigating this matter and it is plaigarism and people will be marked down for using the story. (btw she is the head of english and an aqa examiner). Im soo worried!


What is this priest story everyone's going on about. I'm confused
Yes my brother just confirmed this too, what’s the priest story?

hello
that's not true because he was a former examiner not sure if he still is- loads of times yr11s write similar descriptions and stories to each other when they sit the language paper 1 exam each year and nothing comes out of it. im worried too i used the priest story, however we all wrote difference stories different ideas etc and tweaked it differently- u cant plagiarise a plot. try not to stress about it

Bro She one one one talked to my whole year for like an hour!


she's probably trying to teach you a lesson not to use someone's plot- it is virtually impossible for aqa to penalise us because of a PLOT! its not a written story its a PLOT
if you copied the paragraph he wrote it's more of a risk but nah there's no way- teachers usually teach their students a plot to use in exams or key phrase for the description- this isnt any different

i highly doubt that it’s plagiarism because everyone would have adapted their own stories

i didn’t use the priest story but good luck to those that did

Hmm, are you 100% sure? Doesn't that mean the grade boundaries would drop?

no worries <33

it’s ridiculous to penalise every single student that used the plot. it’s just like the beginning, middle and end with a climax in the middle and a resolution

i wouldn’t listen to anything anyone says at this point unless it comes straight from aqa themselves

yes but my advice dont watch the video when he created the paragraph, or if you did then make sure youre paragraph is 99% different from it
