How many units are guys taking into year 12? Anyone going to drop or pick-up? Man, it's such a friggin hard decision to make.

I'm picking up extension 2 english, and I don't want to do more than 10 units, so I'm going to drop IPT. It's such a boring subject. The teacher cant teach it at my school anyway. Plus, I hate the theory. I bought a lap-top for nothing but....oh well!!! :p

i wouldn't say you have to START now. but start thinking of a possible idea.

i had my idea before i started yr 12 and started writing it in term 4 last year and i'm perfectly on track now.

make sure you get a good and unique idea that you KNOW you can write and then stick to it

it doesn't have to be linked

you could say that its linked to normal English because it involves words being written........theres you connection

If you need an outline just go onto the Board site and get the syllabus outline

there has to be a link. but they're funny links

and i think they can also link to preliminary course....

my link is to crime fiction because there's a murder and because you learn about the characters leading up to it...you're getting "clues" even though it's not a murder i expect the reader to solve and the "clues" don't automatically incriminate them.

i'm also linking it to 'change in perspective' because i'm writing from different personas...

the link can be anything. write it and THEN discuss a link

btw tennille wot skool u go 2?
i go to holy spirit its down near Wollongong, i don't blame you if you have ever heard of it:p

I was thinking of picking it up for lik a couple of weeks or something and trialing it to see how it was, and if i really liked it, keep it up and drop geog. Can you do that?>???

why drop ext eng? it is so easy..
yeah i really enjoy it but i don't think i would go really well in it, I would love to just learn the content, and not have to do any assessments on it, and just take my time, but yeah i find it really easy (most of the time). LOL i think i wrote this up the top oh well...



EDIT: Grrrrrrr:chainsaw: quotes didnt work, oh well....

Dude... Extension History is bloody hard.. to me, it's one unit and not worth the effort.. I'll prolly drop it before the trials.. Although, if your really into history, you'll enjoy it. It's interesting, just hard.

Hey, Year12 -- did you go to the study day at USYD? I know it was a while ago... but that chick and windshuttle. That was hilarious. Both were kinda stupid though. He's got dementure and Althimzers (I use to call it 'Old Timers'.. so, I hope you get what I mean, coz I can't spell...) but she was just yelling and shit. She really didn't listen to much he said. The first guy took my question though.. Only said it a little more diplomatically than I would have ;)

Good luck kids.. only 13 weeks left and your year 12!
