Hey,
Does anybody do extension english?
if so, what are you studying? we're doing fairy tales and just finished the pygmalion myth and i was wondering what other schools are doing

 

[SoulSearcher]

I do, nature of evil, I think we're doing The Crucible next.

 

[dandel26]

Did fairy tales in yr 11, had no idea what was going on. For some stupid reason they put on a uni graduate to teach extension. Thankfully yr 12 extension is heaps better with a better teacher

 

[Wooz]

We have 3 eng ext classes, My Class is doing Realism for the entire prelim course so is another and the third is doing satire.

 

[basketcase89]

Yeah we're doing fairytales now. We did the Pygmalion myth as well, although it seems to be coinciding with fairytales still.

 

[the pospinator]

We're doing the nature of evil, we've studied:

Heart of Darkness (novel...Joseph Conrad)
Apocalypse Now (film...Francis Coppola)
The Hollow Men (poem...T.S Eliot)

We're doing the crucible next

 

[FranzFerdinand]

I do ext eng and i don't know what we're studying. but we're reading Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.

[w00dy.]

we have done:
pygmalion (my fair lady, pretty women, and the pygmalion play by Shaw)
and have just completed fairytales (the company of wolves- angela carter, little red riding hood - numerous versions)

next; we get to do a mini project set out similarly like the major one for ext 2, so we can get a 'taste' of whats yet to come next year

Hey yeah i do Extension English i love it its my fave subject lol. We did fairytales for the first half of the year we had to like choose a fairytale to study then rewrite our own version, set in 2006. It was heaps cool i did the 3 little pigs and had heaps of fun writing my own version!

We just started looking at Satire and we watched the movie Gulliver's Travels. I'm finding it so interesting I feel like i was ripped off as a kid cuz i wasnt told the full story lol.

 

[the-1-n-only-me]

were doing "utopia - a perfect world"
we did utopia by thomas more and now we're doing gattaca
i think after that we're doing farenheit 451.. so yeah..

 

[mickoz]

did 'Rites of Passage' in Term 1 (novel was Johnno by David Malouf [not recommended]), now doing the Gothic genre w/ "Frankenstein" of course.

 

[Sofstar]

Heyyyyy how come noone's doing utopian/dystopian literature...that was the besssssssssssst!

Hahahaha. We're doing that! Read Utopia by Thomas Moore, abit of Genesis and watched The Beach. I thought it was weird when i heard that we're doing the one topic all year. Very odd.

We have 3 eng ext classes, My Class is doing Realism for the entire prelim course so is another and the third is doing satire.

How many people do extension english in your school? At my school we have just the one class and we have 8 students doing it! Is your school really selective for the subject or will they let anybody do it? My school only let you in if you got band 5 or 6 in the school certificate.

 

[Wooz]

My schools selective we have 70 people doing eng ext, approx half the grade(the non-asian half of the grade, well except for me) jks, lol. Yeah they let anyone do ext, they also encourage studends to do it by putting it on normal subject lines and within normal school hours.

 

[SoulSearcher]

I've got 15 in my extension english class, but it is held in normal school hours on normal course lines.

[SoulSearcher]

Same number that is doing extension 2 maths at my school this year. Probably going to be a smaller class next year, not many people are interested in or good enough to do well in it Year 11 at my school.
