I had to teach these two texts recently, totally in love with it.:spin:

I agree with this, To get the the 800-900 word mark I kept the following structure: Intro - 100 words Body 1/2/3/4 - 150-180 each (640 ish words total ) Conclusion - 100 words

I'd go for a film to be honest, with not much time left before trials you definitely need to get something you can consume quickly. I recommend watching Her (2013), a tad mature but nothing a year 12 can't handle. Explores the idea of family and relationships quite well. Has some things about...

Honestly, any two poems are great as long as you can link their common message. If you decide to use those two your going to end up talking about how anthem explores the loss of youth and waste of life. Dulce explores a similar message with the Gas! Gas! idea aswell. Each poem has their own...

I actually just replied to a thread a second ago with the same link, but I found this site pretty fun if you're experiencing 'writer's block' http://writers-den.pantomimepony.co.uk/writers-plot-ideas.php Obviously your goal would be linking it to identity but I'm sure if you understood the...

I found this site super fun recently when just thinking of stimuli, I mean it's really random but if you try your best to write a story around the phrase they give you could come up with something fun :) http://writers-den.pantomimepony.co.uk/writers-plot-ideas.php

I am sure english extension scales well, unfortunately mine didn't count even though I achieved 44/50...:vcross:

To be honest this is your best chance to see how much you can control yourself and hit the books. In a couple months time you'll be sitting a very similar exam format and you'll actually have to put in the same, if not more study. When I was going for my preliminaries everyone around me...

I always get asked this question by my students and I strongly agree with all the suggestions above! Study plans are to your personal flavour and honestly one big trap a lot of students fall into is creating a plan they will never follow... they simply are satisfied with creating the plan and...

Judith Wright is all about Nature and you might be better of finding some direct links to that, i.e. the module is Representations of Landscapes and People. I would suggest some paintings or even documentaries as good starting points, focusing on how the composer has used the landscape/people...

You could greatly refer the word to the emotions we feel, love, hate, jealousy, greed, ambition... Basically most texts have something to say about these things and thus help explain the human condition. Another interpretation is that we are bound by the confines of being mortal and fear death...

If you're referring to the poem I do think it's a good link in a very abstract sense. Although the persona also is 'going away' she is more or less disappearing because she doesn't fit in that well with her surroundings. With Gow's Away it takes the idea of 'going away' to the idea of a...

Yep, I actually teach this book for my Standard English class at the moment. If your trying to link it to discovery you might want to have a look at the AOS rubric, there's heaps of information about how you have to talk about discovery. To give you an example, you could definitely link the...

Here's 3: 1. "As she looked deep down into the unlit corridors she saw nothing but a reflection of who she once was" Use this as the opening to your creative story, make direct links to the concept of discovery. 2. 'A dusty notebook' Use this as the central object in your creative story...

For the Tell-Tale Heart I would try link the narrator's descent into insanity and his contemplation about life to Prospero's journey. There are slight links there. As with Invictus are you doing the poem or the movie? If its the poem you could try link to the ideas of self-discovery or...

Invictus the poem or the movie? both are quiet good choices. I personally encouraged my students to look into the poem as an extra text and we focused primarily on the idea of a spiritual discovery (the persona of the poem spiritually empowers himself as he realises that he is in control of his...

Well they are young boys out on an adventure> They could have physically discovered a sense of hardship and camaraderie through their adventures through the bush, etc. They could have made an intellectual discovery regarding the confronting nature of their actions and also their ignorance...

They solved x^3-3x=0 and found all the x-intercepts needed and sketched it. After doing that they returned back to the inequality x^3-3x<=0 and just deduced what values of x was the curve below the y-axis (y=0).

You could be looking at metaphor/symbolism as basic links to get your point across. E.g. the line acts as a metaphor for the apparent disparity in society's behaviour and attitudes towards those who suffer from mental disabilities... As mentioned above though not sure of the context of the...

Yep I agree with this, if you fall into the category of doing 3U/4U, you'll want to make sure you have excellent 2U knowledge for your 3U component as you'll be speeding through it a lot in class.
