we did love and relationships but all we did was read and watch texts and never analysed them or looked at quotes or techniques :burn:

same but we did romantic poetry- shelley- in advanced so i'm not really looking foward to it

 

[marcquelle]

hell yeah except we did Super Creeps and Scary Monsters, from Dracula to Mr. Hyde via Frankenstein. That pretty much says what we did. (+ extra things mainly we did vampires tough)

 

[Aplus]

We did Utopia for Context, Values and Cultural.

 

[larahrah]

We did romantic comedy - clueless & emma. Emma was the worst term of my life. Ever. Clueless was lovely of course. I didn't even read Emma, the first and only book I've ever been given in English and I haven't read, haha when I told my english teacher that she was heartbroken..

I did extension english for a while...

we did 'The Nature of Evil' with a focus on Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now.

 

[ANTMfan91]

We did Text, Culture and Values focusing on Gothic Fiction (Dracula, Interview with the Vampire and Buffy the Vampire Slayer+a related Gothic novel of our choice- I did the Picture of Dorian Gray).
Next year we're doing Romanticism- S.T Coleridge's Poetry, Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey and Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

I did Romanticism in Adv English.
However we focused mainly on Robert Frost and debated whether he was a Romantic Poet.

The 'Nature of Evil' - a highly philosophical topic in EE1 - texts involved Conrad's "Heart of Darkness", Ford Coppola's film, "Apocalypse Now" and Eliot's poem, "The Hollow Men".

I really should continue this with EE2 - simply love this topic. It's a shame, really... considering that the HSC topic is Science Fiction - genre study. Prescribed texts include 'Dune', 'Brave New World' and 'Space Odyssey 2001'. No, I don't know the composers of each. I'm sort of looking forward to 'Brave New World' - given the one sentence synopsis that my teacher gave us. 'Dune' - a 600 page novel that is comparable with the Bible. I really do not enjoy Science Fiction...

 

[wendus]

we did marxist/feminist readings + the outsider

wow that sounds so interesting!

 

[Rockyroad]

Yes I do English extension. This year (11) we did changing attitudes to war - studying poetry and biographies etc. It was ok. I find ext easier than advanced - anyone feel the same?
Next year we are doing crime fiction in ext 1 - woo hoo - I am looking forward to it. Anyone done crime fiction yet? Did you love it?

Far out, everyone has such good topics.

I hated the 'Nature of Evil' ... I think if I was given another topic... I wouldn't have dropped Ext Eng.

lol it's not bad! in fact, I reckon it's an awesome topic - reveals a hell of a lot about the nature of humans. But had you continued with EE1, you'd be doing Science Fiction - something that no one really likes.

Hey science fiction would've been better than The Nature of Evil - well if they let us do Star Wars

 

[5233andy]

Probably as a supplementary text. I personally hate Star Wars - biggest load of nonsense in history.

LOL Star Wars is ok in my opinion.
Some schools do Shrek for Ext English... that would've been ownage if we could do that.
