hey, i just had a quick question about ext. 1 english that i thought i would post up here! how many modules do u do in it? because our teachers said we would be doing CRIME FICTION so does this mean we just do crime fiction the whole year, or do we get to do other topics? thanks@

God, I would HATE to do crime fiction. I'm just not interested at all in that genre and doubt I could learn to like it. We're doing individual in society and its not too bad..better than RTFG :p

i liked cf

you study it the whole year

you have 3 prescribed texts, so you speng about a term on each text and a term on whatever else your teacher wants.

while that seems like a long time, remember that it's a 1u subject, so you have 1/2 the time to do work in when compared to 2u eng.
