I was thinking of doing something like 'representations of class structures in the novels of e.m. forster'....but now that you mention a comparison its got me thinking....i could contrast it with another time period / social background or something...hmm thanks for the feedback. Anyone know if...
Hey guys, good to see there are other people considering critical responses! I'm still trying to find a definite area that i want to do...i was considering doing something to do with Forster, or Woolf...the problem i'm having is that all the critical's i've read, that have also done really well...
Hey i'm thinking of doing a speech as well. Like you say, its difficult to know what to write about because there's no examples of past speeches really...except for that lame one about african women on the board of studies site.
I was reading the markers notes as well and they said that not...
I like the idea of extnesion english but i can't say weather or not i'm enjoying it because our class has never done anything. Literally, our teacher has never conducted a lesson in the 25 lessons we've had. We're supposedly doing gothic but i dont even know when the gothic period was. Therefore...
Thanks for the replies everyone. I spoke to my teacher again today and she said she had spoken to the head teacher who told her that our school sacrificies the 15 hours in the preliminary course so they don't have to change the timetable in year 12. or something equally ridiuculous.

My day wasn't too bad-
eco: bludge and huddle around the heater
legal: yell and abuse my teacher for being incompetent
ancient: *snooze*
ex english: watched interview with a vampire (very gross)
I have heaps of work due tomorrow which i havn't started.....oh well *shrugs*
Ok I was wondering how many hours of lessons you have each week? I was reading the syllabus for the extension course the other day and it said that students should do "60 hours of indicative study". At our school, we do one and a half hours a week (although this is closer to one hour seeing at...
Circular narratives are a good way to do gothic....or perhaps include some type of framing device? Letters, someone re-telling the story in a contemporary situation, hidden manuscripts etc. Then again that might be a bit too cliched...
Hey kayvon, are u in the north sydney boys team? A friend of mine is the second barrister (i think..) in that team.
Our school's in the elimination round....has anone else been given the same side as they've been before? Our school has been prosecution 4/5 trials and i'm kind of getting sick...
I've never read Julius Caesar but some other types of readings you could consider might be....historicist, feminist or perhaps psychoanalytic. (these are just some of the one's we're using for Othello so i don't know if they're at all relevant...)
Our teacher told us the highest mark you can get in standard english is 89, i.e. it is not possible to get a band six, because the course is capped. That being said, standard and advanced scale exactly the same.
We just started Troy, but we've already done the Iceman, the Greenland Vikings, the Anasazi Indians, the Tomb of Phillip II and some random case study on underwater archaeology. I find it really dull...
