Sparknotes is great for a basis for writing essays to help with points and quotes and stuff. Last year we had to do speeches on a novel and almost everyone used spraknotes and you could tell in a bad way

we did Looking for Alibrandi last term....and YES, I'm in year 10...and yes, 99.9% of the class read it in year 5

you never read novels in class. your much better off just reading notes and essays.

my english teacher even confessed to our class that she never read BNW when she was at school, just used notes and such.

One of the classes we listened in on last year did that because our teacher was marking. Every speech was like the same thing. Even the wording was that close. It was hilarious. Because no one wanted to get up because they knew it was the same thing

I do the voices when I read plays by myself.

that is the funnest thing ever. in class it's comical, esp. when you and your friend/academic rival play othello and iago [respectively].

since year 10 , we've read animal farm, a gothic text of our choosing [mine was confessions of an english opium eater by thomas de quincey], p!nk song lyrics [that entire "p!nk as a modern-day poet" module was a crock of shit], tess of the d'urbervilles by thomas hardy and a buttload of shakespeare [othello, taming of the shrew, macbeth].
