Anyone do Extension English? (1 Viewer)

[the-derivative]

This year we studied superheroes in terms of context and all that stuff and then watched batman begins.
Second term we looked at Emma and Clueless
Last term we did a genre study and then wrote a creative peice within that genre (or we could have done an author study)

Extension English and PDHPE are definately my favourite subjects.
I really want to do Extension 2 next year but I still havent decided.

Wow Batman Begins sounds like a really good film to analyse - would've been really interesting. If you love English - i'd recommend taking up EE2.

I haven't heard of that film either... but it sounds boring - nothing will beat Batman Begins

Nature of evil was good- it was pretty pyschological and philosophical which s what makes it very interesting... Science fiction next year should also be interesting...

The extension students in my year did Frankenstein this year and it's one of the HSC texts for comparative study. Will they have an unfair advantage over us?

I guess in terms of understanding the texts and its context that might put you at a disadvantage but nothing an extra bit of effort can't catch up with
