Nooooooooo.

What the hell is Identity?? Gosh.. School is so wacked...
Have you guys heard of Wild Cats Falling huh? I'm using an Aboriginal book for Identity..
Identity is a fairly good AoS. This is because it links in well with Belonging. :)

My school's doing Relationships. Different classes focus on different texts, and my class are focusing on Japanese Story and White Teeth.

Advanced; Journeys with "The Kite Runner" as perscribed text. IDK, its a really simple book I guess, but deep enough to write about, would have prefered something more advanced tho...

Extension; Revenge with "Medea" as a pescribed text. Its a bit unusual, being an Ancient Greek play and all, but its ok I guess.

Looking forward to Othello later this term tho :)

OK. I've been talking with my buddy at Sydney Boys High School, the 7th highest ranked school in the state, and he has informed me that he is doing 'Discovery' for his Advanced English Area of Study in Prelimenary. Now I'm doing 'Journeys' for Advanced English in Prelimenary but he is telling me that there is a syllabus out there saying that the prescribed area of study is in fact not 'Journeys' but 'Discovery'. I've looked at the syllabus on the Board of Studies and I've found nothing about a prescribed area of study. Is there one saying that 'Discovery' should be the prescribed area of study?

Thank you.
We are doing discovery aswell, at CTHS.
