OMG. The Piano is an awesome movie. It's on TV right now, actually.

Did you just say THE PIANO!!!! AHHHH...farout the scene where the "guy" chops of Ada's finger was gruesome man...and the random sex scenes...but overall it's awesome alright, otherwise it wouldn't have been selected as an HSC English material, right?

[fallenstar]

Extension - Short Stories + 'Heart of Darkness' by Conrad

 

[sasa-o8]

Doing advanced - Changing worlds...Poems by Les Murray. FREAKING BORING!!

 

[what--if]

Advanced: The topic of 'fear', studying The Crucible
Ext 1: Romanticism and the Gothic genre, studying Frankenstein.

They're really great topics, although I would have loved to have done 'change' in advanced

 

[jkylk]

Advanced: Judith Wright poems
Ext. : Satire, learning about feminism, marxism, Freudian readings and will be looking at extracts of texts in the Canon

 

[fiona.p]

im doing advanced english and ext

in adv we're studying doing change and using "Othello" as the text
in ext we're doing odysseys and using "the pdyssey" as the text...that is the most boringest book ever!! Took me so long to read it!

 

[beckaa]

We're reconstructing fairy tales in ext.

In advanced we have to choose 4 texts (ON CHANGE) and do a speech on them. They can't be the same type of text though, so I have a book (So Much To Tell You - John Marsden), a song ( American Pie - Don Mclean), a movie (if you'd call it that - Harvie Krumpet) and i desperatly need a fourth one.

Any ideas? A poem, short story, speech, newspaper article or something? I am at a complete loss and the progress report is already due!

Crap. Crap crap crap. Possibly worst area and text ever. Terrible.

Fairy tales.
Key Texts:
Cinderella, Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood.

Best. Topic. Ever. Great texts, great opportunity to use the word "cinderfella".

No-one seems to be doing Authority and the Individual... for Eng. Adv.

Read Fahrenheit 451. Read Whose Life is it Anyway?... Done a few poems... Currently watching The Shawshank Redemption...

Nice stuff.

Just moved over to Reportage:

Started reading Hiroshima... Reading the Crucible next...

Nonetheless. We've got a HUGE workload, evil private school. "Must finish prelim. by the end of Term 2 and move over to the HSC in Term 3.."

And, yes, we're in year 10!!!
