It was the equivalent to Romanticism, except it was Individual and Society under the Texts and Ways Of Thinking module..
. But yeah, somewhat hellish. Although... they possibly expect the romanticism people to be more specific, as our area was more broad we could possibly get away with more generalisations? Just a thought, I have no evidence for that haha.
Yes, I'm in Year 10... I'm looking forward to having Mrs Sewell four years in a row.
Who am I? Please refer to the PM I sent you. I don't really want to tell everyone who I am, although I'm sure many people on this forum already know my first name.
Life writing would be good, although I would definitely prefer "After the Bomb", as I could relate it to Modern History, but c'est la vie. Good old Mrs Sewell ... she should publish a book!
J - Schoey ... oops, almost wrote my name then!
.
Hahahaha. Nahh, Mrs.Sewell doesn't find anyone annoyingThey seem quite different actually. I haven't done Ext. Eng. yet, so I'm not really equipped to comment. But perhaps a parallel is that both "genres" focus on only one-two characters, with minimal supporting characters. I don't know.
Edit: Who am I going to have for Modern? Fenech! Well, hopefully. I had him for Year 9 History and he was the best teacher. He would give me 10/10 for bookwork when there were like 3-4 exercises missing, lol.
But he said to out class (9 HIST A) last year, "You'll learn about blah blah blah in Modern History, and if you do Modern History you might have me for it." I agree, Mrs Sewell is awesome. She did actually talk about publishing a book last year, but somewhat jokingly, saying that she'd write about how horrible we (9 ENG 1) were or something like that. It was such a breath of fresh air to have Mrs Sewell after having Miss Carlino for Year 8 (all boys class) English, when the class was uncontrollable. Mrs Sewell knows how to get you to shut up. I think she finds me somewhat annoying though, as I would often turn up late for class last year, especially when I was first just getting to know Porsche and we'd still talk after the bell or be mucking around with Alex/Adrian/Taco... then I'd also go off on tangents during class discussions and I was really bad with class novels, i.e. I didn't finish reading them on time or at all (they were all crap except for Shakespeare ("The Merchant of Venice"), "Raw" by Scott Monk, "King of Shadows") by Susan Cooper.
. I HATED King of Shadows or whatever its called, it just pissed me off. No idea why, it just irritated me. The other two were good. And I liked Taronga as well. When we did extension english we all ended up on tangents ALL THE TIME, although tbh there were only four students, which dwindled down to just two of us by the end of year 12, but we talked more in that class than any other and managed to get the better marks for it! Talking too much in larger classes is difficult for teachers I guess, because they have to be constantly checking that everyone understands and so forth, but if you are in a smaller group then it doesn't matter so much.Are you making reference to Northanger Abbey here? Because Austen wrote that as a satire. It is to be used for a comparison to romantic texts and is not meant to be taken literally.
exactly the same. love it! bar the austen.
and he made us do representations of love in advanced...
