[1OO%]

[Lavenderpup]

We're doing the topic of women *sigh* Petrarch poetry, Tess of D'Urbervilles, Taming of the Shrew...
UGH. Lucky people who are doing Frankenstein, Dracula and Interview with a Vampire. At least they're interesting books. IwaV is nice, it doesn't have any crappy country language.

Yeah, I loved post-colonialism.

Well, the Great Expectations half of it. Jack Maggs was just homosexual pulp.

An assignment for JM was to write out a gap in its plot...there was ever so much choice.

 

[tez0r]

some really easy related texts to do are (for gothic)
-Alien
-Edward Scissorhands

Edward was a nice film to watch, so made it easier to analyse.

 

[Dragon Fanatic]

We did Utopia and are now doing Gullivers Travels for Utopias/Dystopias.. Later in the year we are doing Othello as well.

Hey...just doing a search...if any of you have notes for the Chrysalids, id be forever grateful/greatful (ok so it appears ive forgotten how to spell...)

I dont do ext, but im doing Orwell's 1984 and just started reading the Chrysalids to discover there are some links there. So any notes? PM me, please...thank you in advance =)

Hmm ... my ext class doing "Challenging Society" in "Text, Values and Culture" and doing
-Jane Eyre
-Whale Rider
-The Crucible

Do your classes change topic/area of study throughout the year? Our is just that one all this year. I'd much rather study some of the other things posted here thatn trying to link 'Whale Rider' and 'Jane Eyre' and 'The Crucible'.

Before this year, I never knew there were only 3 original stories and that all followed are appropriations. *rolls eyes*


Do any of you have to "create a newspaper" as an assessment? It doesn't make more sense, and the more I ask my teacher, the less I understand.

 

[=sophie=]

anyone else doing pygmalion

I was wondering if there was anyone else doing transformations of a text (Pygmalion) .. Im doing appropriations of Pygmalion >MyFair Lady and so on and so forth

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

we're doing satire. we did catch 22, MASH, and we're doing some stuff on monty python at the moment as well as some related texts. it's fun! if only they would abolish regular english (which is sucky) and just have extension which is so so so much better... *daydream* lol.

 

[HinikuTheNinja]

We're doing Heroes. The Great Gatsby, Jane Eyre and Tennyson. Much fun. >_>

 

[The_Jesstar]

We did feminism first, which was Jane Eyre and The Yellow Wallpaper [strange book] then the Arthurian Legend, which we related to appropriation and now we are doing genre, Frankenstein... I'm not a gothic fan, so i'm not liking this much, but I loved the Arthurian Legend topic!

 

[drakonfire]

well we did frankenstein, we did fairytales and then we did pygmalion + pretty woman. and now we have our yearlie.. (well eng ext is on wednesday) and we have to talk about pygmalion and pretty woman and 3 other related material... if anyone can give me a clue on how to begin my notes... PLZ Do.. i decided Shrek, my fair lady and pygmalion myth should be my related material... can anyone shed some light on my gloomy situation ( i hate pretty woman and when forced to write anything about it i get annoyed!!) grr.. well if any of u guyz can help???? it wud be a lot of help... =P

 

[jessdoit]

For Year 11 we did feminism and for Year 12 we're doing 19th century texts.

 

[jakus]

I'm pretty sure my class is doing challenging society through context, values etc... We've done gothic which included Dracula, Bram Stoker's Dracula and Nosferatu. Now we're doing Chaucer.

 

[Cheap Thrills]

Nice revival:rofl:

Anyway, we're doin the tragic hero, Oedipus Rex, Othello, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, The Crucible and Star Wars III and VI

 

[pffft]

Were doing:

- The Great World (Malouf - novel)
- Five Bells (Slessor - poem)

and a movie and a novel of our own choice...
