How will my subjects scale?! (1 Viewer)

[Shadowdude]

Yes another one of those topics.

I AM LIKE SOOOOOOOOOOOO FREAKED OUT ABOUT MY HSC SUBJECTS. I'M DOING MATHS EXTENSION 1, MATHS EXTENSION 2, ENGLISH ADVANCED, ENGLISH EXTENSIONS 1 AND 2, CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS AND LEGAL - HOW DO THEY SCALE!? I'M FREAKING OUT HERE! I need a glass of water.


Not really


Anyway, just have one question - completely unrelated to scaling - I'm thinking of English Ext. 2, but I'm having trouble getting story ideas. Can anyone help me in my plight?

I've received the following suggestions from either my fellow classmates and in one case, my maths teacher:
- The Year 10 formal - a story about how as society we are celebrating things that don't need to be celebrated, overspending on things that don't really matter (girls with $400 dollar dresses, etc.) and contrasting that with the less than exquisite venue
- Unrequited "Love" - a guy likes a girl, who mistakes this girl being friendly towards him as her liking him; the girl however starts seeing the guy's advances and dismisses him as 'the creepy stalker'
- High School Reunion - starts off with the farewell speech at year 12 and then cuts straight to the 10 year high school reunion where we find how the roles have reversed since high school - the bullies are now the bullied, the nerds are now the well-off and the once dominant teachers are... somewhat dominant teachers

[saberbladexx]

Do the third one.

 

[spammy679]

third one

and maybe you can include earlier years with it like year 10 formal or something
probably focus on two people (girl and boy liking each other since primary till the reunion,etc)

just my opinion

All sound pretty bland...But that's just my opinion.

Go original! Speaking of which I need an idea myself haha.

 

[Shadowdude]

Well Paradox, hopefully this can be yours and my idea thread.

So any suggestions from anyone?

Some brainstormed suggestions on the spot:

- Poker Face - documents a story about a gambler who goes to a casino one night to play, but he is a maths genius, and is written in a stream-of-consciousness type of thing, analysing odds and getting into his head. Yes, I did think this up while watching Casino Royale =P
- Lockdown - a story about a student in school who was having a normal day, walking to class until the lockdown bell rang, this follows the initial "What's that sound?" followed by the hectic "GET INTO THE CLASSROOM NOW" and the thoughts and feelings of those affected, is this a drill? Is it real? If so, what will I do?
- Teacher's Lounge - what exactly goes on in the teacher's lounge? Well, at the District of York High School, the teachers bet on the student's relationships, so when one teacher decides to bet $1000 on one scenario, some teachers start to get a little skeptical...

Yes, I'll suggest in groups of three.

For the poker face i suggest you to watch the movie '21', which is about blackjack and counting

That movie was sweet.



Already watched it.
