Nah, we didn't have to do that. That sounds complicated. =\

....? what exactly do you mean by that?

 

[marcquelle]

Its a simple concept, like mine is the role of religion in vampire legends, but i have to use many sources, and in my case compose a story. I know i'll enjoy it but i just wanted to see if other people have to do something similar

Yeah, you're right in the sense that it is a fusion of difficult critical engagement and leisurely 'research' (reading online blogs for me).

I wrote out my research proposal (which is not on this computer), however i have attached my final reflection statement for the major work i handed in at the end of preliminary english extension.

If you are interested in studying English Extension Two, this critical piece is normally used to decide who has the potential to perform well in the rigorous Year 12 research and composition course.

I came first in the grade with 25/25 and it was photocopied by the teachers for the viewing pleasure of future EE1 students at my 'alma mater'

edit: i cringe when i read this now though

Yes we have to do a very similar task to this, it is considered preparation from students who want to do Extension 2 next year. We have 2 options. To either study a genre and texts in that genre then compose a written piece of our own or to research an author and study the genres the texts have being written in, relating back to features typical of that genre and similarities and differences in their texts.

So yes thats what we are doing all this term and I am inclining toward the first option and studying the psychological thriller genre. If not then I will study the works of Roald Dahl and look at some of his work for children but also his short stories which are written for an older audience.

 

[marcquelle]

ours is a bit more freer than that we can do what we want as long as it relates back to the syllabus.

:jaw: That reflection statement is very good writing. The notions you explore are expressed through eloquent language, not to mention the ideas themselves are well justified/explianed through your discussion of language techniques. It deserved full marks. So why do you cringe? Is it intellectually inferior compared to what you are now capable of?
