Rel mat same as another core material? (1 Viewer)

[Marcus Aurelius]

Hey guys,
Just wondering if your allowed to use a related material that is also a focus for other schools. For example, for imaginative journeys our school has got the tempest as its core text. For my related material i want to use alice in wonderland (so that ones fine) and this lime tree bower my prison, but that ones done as a focus for some other schols. Am i allowed to do that or do i need to use a text not studied as a focus in other schools?
Im thinking im not allowed but i thought i'd just check cause I'd like to use that poem.
Cheers

i heard that alot of people are doing "I have a dream" by Martin Luther King for journeys and it's a prescribed text in speeches for module b in adv english.

So i should be fine to use it then.

You should check with your teacher because they will be the ones marking. Our teacher told us that you're not allowed to use prescribed texts as related material but I think he meant other prescribed texts in the same module. So if you use King's speech in journey's, it should be fine... Whereas say "rabbit-proof fence" would not be allowed as a related material for journeys.

Hmm, but this lime tree bower is from the journeys module (I'm stuying it in imaginative journeys) I had this same problem where I wanted to use 1984 as a related text for telling the truth, and I was told not to for in school assessments and strongly advised against it for the HSC..

Well my teacher had no objections for me using it in my trials, but I will probably use something else for my actual hsc exam to be on the safe side.

you are allowed to use a prescribed text from a different module in the HSC, HOWEVER it is not looked well upon. you've had a year to find something different after all, using a prescribed text doesn't say volumes for independant research does it?
