im excited

 

[spleen]

for english

brave new world
king lear

frontline

eeer...something else

 

[Supra]

have u read or viewed any of those texts ( i personally havent and i cannot make an informed decision)
if u get a choice (ur bloody lucky first of all) u should do wot u like best, and the texts which CLEARLY SHOW how they shape meaning...

I did ext eng in yr 11 this yr ( im dropping it) and i know for a fact that they r doing anil's ghost and skull beneath the skin -- i guess it depends on the electives whithin each module that ur scool selects

 

[Giant Lobster]

for adv, apparently we gonna do heaps of Shryznecki (w/e) poems for our aos, Antony n Cleopatra, Clueless and Emma, and somethin else i cant remember now.. frankly it doesnt sound very appealing to me right now. but then again, its english

 

[picaresque]

I don't know what my texts for next year are - however I have been handed a booklet of Colderidge poems for 'holiday browsing'.

And to answer the question, I like it just fine.

 

[Xayma]

We're doing 50th Gate, Bladerunner and I think King Lear (damn shakespeare)

 

[Craig]

For english advance i'm doing Immigrant Chronicle, King Lear, Bladerunner and Frontline.

 

[kimmeh]

i dont know what we're doing i'm moving to a different school.. but at macq. fields.. doing king lear and blade runner/brave new world.... thats all i know of

 

[MissSavage29]

Text books...we are doing

English
Peter S - Immigrant Chronicals
Wild Swans
Anthony and Cleopatra
Emma / Clueless

Extension English we do Gendered Lanugage
so thats
You just dont understand
Twelfth Night
Elizabeth

the english ones seem pretty good - they are just sooo long. The only thing worrying me is the extension course cause so few schools do Gendered lanuguage

Anicent History we have
A History of Rome - Scullard adn Cary
A History of Greece - Bury and Megs
A View from the Forum
Something else on Greece...

Modern
Evidence of War
and a heap of sheets

Extension History
History and the Historians

and Religion
Living Religion - which i hate because it is so brief and has absolultly no information in it that is usefull

 

[KarmaKitten]

*bounces*

I read some of the texts for extention english eg a french lieutenants woman and i loved it

I cant wait, i love english

 

[Misturi]

I have for Advanced English next year:

• Enders Game (Prose Fiction - Journeys)
• Chaucer's Pardoner's Tale (Poetry - Transformations)
• Shakespeare's "King Lear" (Critical Study of texts)
• Frontline (Media - Telling the Truth)

I have read about 3/4 of Enders Game (and l think its a great book) and got some notes for King Lear (from Huy - Thanks again )

The Standard class are doing:

• The Poetry of Peter Skrzynecki - (Journeys)
• The Bush Tucker Man - (Telling Stories)
• We All Fall Down (Prose Fiction - Close Study of Text)
• Educating Rita (Drama - Into the World)

I am dissapointed that Advanced aren't doing anything Australian, l wish l was doing the Bush Tucker Man..

 

[frodo]

ive read enders game about one and a half times, it's pretty interesting but i think it's going to be hard to explain the journey and support it with quotes but anyways, should be fun :S
