I don't think so.

are we allowed to use a related text that used to be prescribed text?

-Used- to be? As in 2008 syllabus?

Yes, provided it's not on the syllabus atm. However, it's often frowned upon as 'the easy way out'.

Different AOS though?

Different AOS though?

Your point being?

The fact that it was once used on the syllabus, means that there are zillions of resources around. For instance, if you chose "Crossing the Red Sea" (Peter Skyrznecki poem, used for Journeys) as a related text for Belonging, it'd fit, but it'd be frowned upon, because there's a LOT of resources on it around - like essays from past students.

If you used a related text that is currently on the NSW syllabus, you'd be heavily penalised (if you're lucky), and might even get 0 (if you're unlucky).

lol, then you're best not to do this today, Friday 13th November - generally, this is a day where some people experience bad luck, and you don't want to take the risk.

The link isn't /that/ strong, but I'm thinking of using the film Green Street Hooligans, as they both have a shift in setting causing a shift in character/values.
