Im doing Advanced and Extension 1

My theme for Advanced is Change and right now we're doing John Donne
he's very...odd

My topic for Ext 1 is the outsider and we're doing hearts of darkness by conrad
its such a boring book
my teacher tell me once we go through and analyse it, it will be so much better
i wonder...

so what courses are you guys doing and what topics/themes are u doing?

We're doing Change too, doing the novel "Catcher in the Rye". Pretty interesting so far.

 

[the leader]

advanced for me - we're doing discovery and "Wrack" by James Bradley, after this I think it's Living in the 20th Century and then Abuse of Power (which I'm quite looking forward to)

 

[S1M0]

Extension English.

We're doing the "Gothic". Interesting to do, its a pretty good unit.

 

[evolution]

Ext eng - modernism n post modernism

 

[Kujah]

Advanced English- Doing "Change" and reading Things Fall Apart

 

[S1M0]

Oh, I read Frankenstein, it was so bloody boring as well. I hate how dreary they make the writing. Stupid Mary Shelley.

I'm reading it right now. Whenever i feel bored, i just re-read the letters at the start and i continue reading. Otherwise i'll probably fall asleep.

Advanced English- Doing "Change" and reading Things Fall Apart

I'm doing Keats.

Very emotional guy, but so godamn hard to interpret! In every line of his "Great Odes" there around 10 different language features to identify, and its never, ever, clear.

ADvance, doing 'Change' at the moment. Reading Great Expectations by Dickens. BORING

 

[undalay]

Advance - Identity, but we're not doing that until term 2 i think. Currently doing modernism poetry.

Extension - Utopia, so bloody interesting i'm doing more work that wasn't prescribed by the teacher.

 

[z600]

We are doing "First Love" we get given the most abstract texts:mad1:

 

[James747]

Eng ext at my skool is doing Frankenstein too. i found the book quite interesting at the start, but I dropped out of it before I even got to get pass chapter 2. Why? Too many units. =P

 

[Zephyrio]

Adv eng - short stories n change

Ext eng - modernism n post modernism

For advanced, I'm doing short stories (about to conclude) and about to start on change.

Extension, I'm doing satire at the moment, as well looking at feminism. But we've touched on modernism and post modernism.

So wow freaky coincidence, orrrr... we might attend the same school.

Good god The Great Gatsby is a sorry excuse for a book.

so far in class we're analysing the story "Sky High" , the poem "The door"..
last week we've been watching Matrix, Planet of the Apes and 1976 b grade movie called "Logan's Run" pretty weird..

we've been learning about CHANGE : Changing worlds

 

[Black Hawker]

Advance - Connections (so freaking confusing). We are currently reading Money and Friends.

Extension - Utopia/Specfiction (is that who you spell it?), pretty boring so far. Most of the class hates it.
