I don't quite follow. Do you mean it's a course requirement to study at least one out of each category, or what? Because we have studied approximately... 16 prescribed texts, discounting the Journeys stimulus booklet and counting 5 Wordsworth poems as one text.

If so:
Antony and Cleopatra
An Imaginary Life
Not sure for drama: unless Cosi counts
Wordsworth poetry
nonfiction = speeches.

Yeah you have to do one from each category...

Skrzynecki poetry
Brave New world - prose
Blade Runner: Director's Cut - film
Fiftieth Gate - non fiction
King Lear - Shakespeare

WOW. How the hell have you studied 16 prescribed texts?? By prescribed texts i mean the HSC texts given in that list, like focus texts. Man i think our teachers may have funked something up.

I have a little suspicion they can find out, because our school has been using that same text combination for a while, and we havent got a single band six mark in about 3 years, and we are a top 15 school. WTF.

Maybe there are only certain combinations that are possible or something...DAMN. It's too late to do anything. ARGH!
