What exactly IS 4 unit English.

Every time I ask someone they say, "it can be anything".
I need SPECIFICS that no one seems to be able to give me.
What are the limitations, guidelines, ect...

Please enlighten me.

It's a piece of writing in virtually whatever medium you want (short story, poetry, critical response, script, video, multimedia, radio play, etc.). The length varies from medium to medium, for example, for a short story, it's 6000-8000 words, for a script, it's about 30 minutes. Your concept has to be in some way related to the year 11 or 12 English advanced or extension 1 courses. Beyond that, your concept is up to you.

There's no content to study. The entire course involves working on this major work; researching for it, writing it, editting it, refining it until it's the best it can be. Internal assessments are all on the process of writing it, while the external assessment is your major work itself.

Hope that helps.
