Re: Extension 2 English Thoughts: Poetry.

[quote=alex.leon]I am quite sure i would like to do English Extension 2 next year, and be focussing on Poetry.

I'm a real arts nut, and i'm just wondering whether or not anyone had any difficulties with the creative limitations of the course? In my mind, the BOS is almost a professional at suppressing creative freedom. (Music 2 core topics make me groan..alot...)

I think poetry is an expression, so why should we be limited on our expression?


Hey,
I completely agree with u. expression wise. I had no problem my teacher was pretty cool bout my poetry. I wanted to focus on stuf i knew i could write about so i focused on indentity. My poems were pretty controversial but my teacher actully didnt read them till the day of submission.

As for suppressing freedom i'll give u sum words of advice. This will happen if u let them win in any creative arts subject. Juz stand strong to your ideas and u wont reget anything. I am prety much queen of creative arts subjects so i am speaking from experience here. oh and of course theres those stupid restrictions/limitations size word things in everything but im sure u should b able 2 express yourself enough to satisfy.

Oh and i know my spellings dodgy and yes i do 4unit. i can spell i am juz strapped 4 time but wuld still like to offer advice. so plz dont bother criticising.

Goodluck
