Duh.. you're early. It's belonging. I'm currently doing it. It's alright but it's crap with no refrences on the internet and no past notes to help.

Well, that's dear of you. You're like in year 10 arent you?, why then, are you starting "Belonging"? My schools still doing Journeys. that's so odd.

I reckon it's better. The HSC markers would be a bit more enthusiastic with something new. We can be more original in our essays.

Re: New english syllabus for 2009 hsc??

just wont have cheat notes. hehe.

Lol, yeah, the fact that there will be no cheat notes depresses me.

Spark Notes has failed me.

What on earth is going on? Apparently there's a new english syllabus for 2009, and it's NOT journey.

Is this just playground gossip? please verify comrades.

I'm pretty sure the change won't have too much of an effect on us.
Could actually benefit us - as markers generally would mark us easier (because it's the first time a cohort is sitting it).

exactly, but creative will be interesting what are the 3 areas of belonging does anyone know i.e. Phyiscal Journeys, Inner Journeys & Imaginatice Journeys.

English HSC 2009 Belonging whats is everone thinking

What is everyone thinking about the new topic for area of study next year for english Beloning will it be heaps harder or similair to journeys?

Re: New english syllabus for 2009 hsc??

i reckon it's awesome that we're the first batch to experience "belonging"!! i could imagine many kids that have elder siblings who would just inherit their notes and such, but this year we all have to think for ourselves; which should separate the sheep from the goats [unless external forces intervene... tutors....]. but i looked in the library during a free and there's still HEAPS of study guides on bladerunner, frankenstein, hamlet, et al.... although they won't directly relate to the syllabus, they're still good resources.

oh & i think the markers will be happy for a breath of fresh air, too & according to my teacher: "they will be a little more generous with marking". yay!

Re: New english syllabus for 2009 hsc??

the good thing for me is that in English Extension unlike other schools who are doing utopia we did the OUTSIDER - which means ill have essays and texts which i can contrast with

Meh. I don't think Belonging would be harder than Journeys or Change w/e. It'll just be different and fresh.
