I actually used this picture, and to my surprise i got a better mark then my text based material. So yeah if you use it as i believe it's a pretty good related text

suits both Physical and imaginative

 

[Waitey]

Hey mate... just wondering how you analyse a picture like that soo much to get a top mark ?

 

[Harry Seacombe]

I found Castaway worked pretty well for Physical Journeys. You should stay away from any text that is the same type as your prescribed text

Lord of the Rings

Children's picture books are great for physical journeys.
I used Margret wild and ron Brook's book "Fox"
Fox is great if u r studying Rabbit proof fence because there is lots of links between the two text
hope i was of some help.

The novel Shiver by Nikki Gemmel

Im using The Rabbits by Shaun Tan. Its a quality picture book says my teacher lol. and the series of novels by Dave Pelzer...

Shaun Tan has alot of good books that involve physical journeys. he just put out a new one, i cant remember what it is called, but tis like 128 pages i beleive of just pictures hes drawn. its inspired by stories of refugees and stuff i think. even if you dont do it for your assessment, its worth looking at because it captures the emotions of the people just so so well.

I am doing Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, i reckon its a pretty good text to use.

 

[Jesykka]

Our english teacher told us it was probably better to avoid Lord of the Rings although she didn't explain why. Anyone with similar thoughts?

 

[mattinnes]

I need some suggestions for non-fiction texts. Can someone please help..

Thanks matt

HEy jess is ashlea, doc said don't used lord of the rings coz its 2 much of a imaginative journey... but she also said u can use shrek but not finding nemo.. i have no idea???????????????

 

[Jesykka]

Fancy running in to you here Ash! Lol.
Yeah, weird. I had wanted to use Finding Nemo too lol.

 

[rosietaranto]

I'd suggest to everyone not to use such well known and popular texts as Lord of The Rings, for obvious reasons that so many other people would pick them, that markes generally become really sick of marking the same continuous thing.
It's like doing Van Gough or Monet for an art essay.
Stay clear of it.

Think orignal. Anything by Isobelle Carmody is a good choice. Documentarys. ABC is good for that. I would stay clear from cartoons by Disney.
Although I am choosing The Lion, the Witch and the Wardobe, but that is because of it's links to 3 of my other texts. Like Wind in the Willows, Darkfall, and Crossing the Red Sea. All new things! All going towards the new and unknown!
Go with something different.

 

[blondesdoitbeta]

Ahhh yeah its just sooo confusing cuz all 3 journey aspects can tie into the one.. but the important thing is 2 note which journey (physical, inner or imaginative) is most predominate and then u have 2 back it up with evidence...... arrrrghhhhhhh

yeah jess, i know... of all the internet sites in all the land and all the conversations....oooooh freaky!!!!

[dracnom]

How bout your BOS text, you have to do one, but prepare two just in case one doesn't fit the question. Im doing the wind in the willows for the BOS, prescribed skryznecki poems and still thinking on what to do for related.

U cant use rabbit proof fence as a related text as it is a BOS prescribed text.. Hope i was some help..

Not sure if you realise... but none of those are really new things.
