Definately Peter SKRZYNECKI, although I believe Shan TAN's picture books on the immigrant experience would be wonderful as well.

The Oresteia, particularly The Eumenides. I also think you should check out books from the crime fiction genre which always inevitably encounters issues of justice/injustice.

I wonder if Catcher in the Rye would be a suitable related text.

Paradigms is an important term to know/learn as it essentially means "ways of thinking". When you are talking about different paradigms of a text you are talking about different ways of reading a text eg. social, religious, philosophical, psychological.

I think songs should be fine as long as it has some depth to it AND that you can extract a lot of meaning/links to belonging from it. I've seen it done with Creep by Radiohead.

Haven't read it but I personally think the book/series would be too long to analyse...I love Harry Potter, but I wouldn't dare to use it as a related text.

Yes I agree with jnney. You won't know if it's for you until you try it out in year 11. Some may find the content hideously tedious and inconsequential, while others will find it thought provoking. Again, I personally found this subject really helpful in getting myself used to a lot of the ideas...

Short answer: yes. But I am severely biased because I'm studying to become an English teacher. It should definitely be compulsory, but I am not too fussed as to whether it should be compulsory up to year 10 or year 12.

Hello! It's been a while since I did SOC, but I can tell you that I personally found it wonderful and it was one of the best subjects to prepare me for university life. I would definately recommend this subject if you're planning on doing an arts of social science related course in university...

That is usually only the case with International students. Some but not all. And I wouldn't be so quick to count all chinese students as being "lazy as shit". I believe I work harder than most in any group assignment situation.
