    Just wondering how one makes notes for a related text. With movies, do you just watch the film once, then again making notes, then try to relate? With poems, deconstruct, then relate? With books, I have no idea. How does everyone here make notes on their related texts?

    Song as related text, yay or nay?

    From the advice almost every teacher I've had is not to choose a song as a related text, unless you can talk about its music elements also. What do they mean by the musical elements? And do you think songs lyrics are a good idea for a related text? Thanks in advance!

    Romulus, My Father

    What a great autobiographical memoir! No, honestly, Raimond Gaita is pure genius. A great bloke to talk to as well, if you ever get the chance to have a chat. Well, thanks to Board of Studies for ruining such a great novel. I've bored myself out of wits trying to write essays, answer...
