We are doing ted hughes and 2 weeks before our trial the head teacher came to our class and told us to get rid of our related material (most of us had done political cartoons, paintings etc) and do a sylvia plath poem WTF!!!!, you could of told us that earlier. All the good sylvia plath poems are on the extension syllabus aswell so we are f*#ked
You know you can use any texts on the extension syllabus as a related text? BOS don't care about doing the same texts between Extension and Advanced, they only care about using the same text for more than one Advanced module.
I'm using The Shipping News for Belonging and I've had absolutely no problems with using it.
If you want to do a Plath poem, the best one to do would most probably be Fever 103°, Daddy or The Applicant - they all have references to Hughes.
But, yeah I kind of like this module. I think, once you realise what they're asking of you, it's quite easy.
