Ty all, related texts lists look helpful Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would do this but Rear Window's one of the prescribed texts we study.

For Extension 1, is it frowned upon if your related texts aren't 'highbrow' or 'literary' works but they still explore crime fiction/ genre in interesting ways? Because for an assessment due next term most people in my class seem to be doing novels from writers that are seen as 'sophisticated'...

Hi, Would it still be ok to use a poem as related text if i'm already studying Skrzynecki's Immigrant Chronicle as a prescribed text? Or should I try to find a text of a different medium to show more variety?

Ty i'll have to have a look

Happened to a few people at my school, usually just a clerical error. School should be able to sort it out.

As above ^^

Hi, Does anyone know any writers with a similar style to this guy? I read Anil's Ghost and the English Patient and really liked how poetic his descriptions were.

Hi, I was just wondering how everyone is getting along with their major work's. Anyone started writing/ had problems/ changed mediums etc? I've written about 2000 words (most of it's horrible) but it seems a lot less daunting now that i've got something on the paper. Best of luck to everyone.

If you're looking for some sort of historical controversy there's lots of things you could do. Nanking Massacre, policy of appeasement towards Germany, the bombing of Dresden etc. An interesting one for your personalities would be the notion of Empire/ Imperialism and the conflicting...

You'll be right, my school is the same and i've got to keep reminding myself that I just need to get pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) at this stage and not be too critical of my own work. I usually prefer writing in long blocks, but i've started trying to make them more structured by...

I do this too.

Personally, i'd type them up first and then write any parts that you're struggling with/ having trouble remembering out. You do need time to read over them, although for me I think the process of making and refining the notes is actually more beneficial than reading, because you need to read...

It varies a lot, it depends on whether you want notes just to jog your memory/ only key ideas, or whether you want them to be really detailed.

Thanks for the tips everyone

Hi, Over the upcoming summer holidays, my school is recommending that we do 6+ hours a day of schoolwork most days, which to me seems obscene. Is this really what's required to do well (aiming for 95-97) or what would a better target to aim for? Just don't want to be burnt-out on the first day...

Hi, Just out of curiosity, does anyone know the distribution of numbers/ percentage of people that do each medium? Considering doing speeches and wondering if many people do this. Thanks in advance.

This. I use one a chrome extension called Stayfocusd (without the 'e') which limits the amount of time you can spend per day on websites of your choosing. You can also block them completely for a certain period of time (e.g. 3 hours) or a certain time of day (say between 5 pm.-8 pm.) You can...

If it's any consolation, I liked maths until year 11, but didn't originally pick it because I wasn't doing as well in it as my other subjects. But then I was forced into doing it due to timetabling and my frustration was mainly born out of my own inability to motivate myself for a subject that I...

One of the teachers at my school said that at the moment our year is like freshly baked bread, eager for the start of a new year, but will soon go stale and be replaced this time next year. Quite possible the strangest and most awkward comment i've ever heard a teacher make. The silence that...
