Quick questions on The reflection statement in HSC English Extension 1

3short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.

What is justify, do not merely describe?
Show answer
A weak reflection describes what the piece does. A strong reflection justifies why each choice was the right one for the world being built. The difference is the word because tied to construction. You did not choose a fragmented structure because it seemed interesting; you chose it because the world's governing rule is that memory will not hold sequence, and only a fragmented structure could construct that rule.
What is use "because" as a discipline, not just a word?
Show answer
If you cannot complete a sentence about a choice with "because the world's rule is...", the choice has not yet been justified, only described.
What is close on illumination, in the module's vocabulary?
Show answer
End with a sentence naming what the constructed world makes visible about individual or collective experience, using the words construction, positioning or illumination explicitly, so the marker sees the concept, not just the craft.
