01What this module asks of you

The 6 syllabus dot points in Reflection and Presentation

These are the statements the English Extension 2 syllabus makes about Reflection and Presentation. Dux records each one against the questions you answer, so you can see which of them you have actually been tested on and which have never been asked.

  1. 01

    The Reflection Statement

    An argument about the work's intention, process and realisation, not a description of what was written.

  2. 02

    Presentation and Publication

    Preparing the work for a reader: layout, formatting and the submission requirements.

  3. 03

    Articulating Intention

    Stating what the work set out to do, in terms specific enough to be evaluated.

  4. 04

    Explaining Process

    Describing the decisions that changed the work, and why they changed it.

  5. 05

    Evaluating Realisation

    Judging honestly how far the finished work meets the intention, including what remains unresolved.

  6. 06

    Connecting to Influences

    Showing how specific texts and writers shaped the work, with evidence rather than name-dropping.

02How it is examined

What a Reflection and Presentation question asks you to do

English Extension 2 - Assessment Shape (no timed examination) is 50 marks in 120 minutes. Questions on Reflection and Presentation are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones English Extension 2 uses.

Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.

03Where this module sits

Reflection and Presentation in the English Extension 2 course

Reflection and Presentation is module 4 of 4 in English Extension 2. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
