I'm doing revnge tradegy and the other class is doing fantasy fiction in my school. Our first text is medea
We're doing speculative fiction as well, it only started this year- our teacher just finished teaching it. Crime fiction is apparently the most popular english extension one elective. Anyway, we're doing lotr: fellowship, the handmaid's tale, Dune and Cyteen as a related text. Dune is going to be very difficult to read because it is so long, as opposed to the Handmaid's tale which is said to be a quick read- i think i better start reading Dune now, even though we're doing it as our last text.

Gotta buy all of mine, so I wouldn't have a clue where to get them from.

hey!
lol .. we dont .. we borrow them off the school and keep them for the whole year in case we want to refer back to them. i still have my year 11 texts at the moment, all 8 of them for english grrrrr wish da school would take em back!!
I have all my english extension texts still... i kept them with the idea that they ALL would be tested in our yearly exam, doing notes on them and everything for nothing! We only had to do essays on our text for term 3! Oh well... I have all my preliminary texts still.

I got a booklist at the end of last term. In some ways it's good since most of the books are "classics" and you can keep them (you can always sell them anyway), but on the down-side it's tough finding the DVDs and even some of the novels.

Revenge Tradegy
Our school is actually choosing REVENGE TRADEGY compared to all the schools I know that are doing CRIME FICTIONS.
That is AMAZING.
But i think it's a really crap topic.
So we're going REVENGE TRADEGY with GENRE STUDY.
Sounds fun doesn't it?

Revenge Tragedy is actually a good genre to do. It's more rewarding than crime fiction, which is just about as formulaic as it gets. We did Revnegr's Tragedy, High Noon and Medea as well, and they're all good texts. You also get to use good extra texts as well - eg godfather, kill bill etc.
