Me too!!!

 

[xclusv2bhung]

Me too!!!

yeah its really interesting aye?! =D
cant stand module B =(

 

[Amy Lou]

Trust them to get rid of the bad stuff though just as we finish...
Although I'm fairly glad that I've had the teacher's experience.

I'd have to agree with both of you, 'In the wild', has been my favourite discussion point.

 

[~shinigami~]

The new AOS is belongong

Hahahahaha!!! That is the most contrived concept I've ever seen. Can't wait to see the new wave of emo essays.

EDIT: I just saw some of the prescribed texts for Adv. Mod A. They get to do John Donne. No fair, I wanted to do Donne. Lucky 09'ers.

 

[w00dy.]

i just looked through some of the texts, it looks pretty good.


the kiddies in 2009 are lucky

 

[kloudsurfer]

No more pomo in EE1!

Makes sense though. As cool as postmodernism is, it a bitch to write essays about...

 

[SoulSearcher]

I don't see why I should care, considering as I won't be in school to do those texts in the HSC anyway. Some of those texts look alright though anyway.

 

[xclusv2bhung]

whoa they`ve kept quite a few of the texts , but ext seems to have changed heaps. they changed 'crime fiction' into 'crime writing' .. lmao whats the difference hahaha.

 

[siobhan07]

Yeah true. Just spare a thought for those poor kids who wont have any resources!

 

[Jerruy]

this is well overdue. The current syllabus is a joke.

 

[pritnep]

My brother will commence his HSC in 2010 (assuming he goes onto yr11-12) so he will be the 2nd year through. Not as bad as the first year but not as lucky as the third in terms of resources, past exams etc.

That's a darn shame. Oh well, change is inevitable I suppose.

The elective "After the Bomb" doesn't sound totally disimilar, though. Same kind of cultural era (almost). And they're using Waiting for Godot, which is pretty postmodern.

 

[Buiboi]

sucks to be them!

Oh sucked in.

Beckett in high school? Yeah have fun with that.

EDIT: Also, he's most avant garde modernist than postmodernist.

omg module 2 only has 7 speeches to study as of 2009!!
we have to remember 12!! so unfair =[

They'll probably change King lear to The Tempest or sumfin, which is pretty good

I dunno y u would want clueless 2 change, its like the easiest one 2 do apparently. At our school i am doing bloody "Chaucers Pardoners Prologue and Tale", it is like the biggest heap of crap i have ever red...
For those of u who havent red it, think of a difficult shakespeare play and then times that difficulty by about 100.. I gave up reading it after like the first page, Thank god for spark notes

Samuel Beckett's work would be pretty awesome to study

Not that I care. none of this affects me.
