Maestro, King Lear and Pride and Prejudice are on the HSC lists.
Your teachers arent allowed to teach you these texts in year 11.
very interesting.

2U - Catcher in the Rye, Ferris Bueller's Day Off , Robert Frost poetry, All My Sons. Enjoyed all of these very much.
3U - Frankenstein, Dracula, Interview with a Vampire. Did not enjoy any of these at all. I have only read half of Dracula and I always considered people who didnt read prescribed texts lazy and never thought I'd neglect doing so myself.

2 Unit: The Crucible, Maestro, Shine, Othello

3 Unit: The Great Gatsby, American Beauty.

We've only done two texts for extension, and no major work, I seriously dont understand why the hell our english extension teacher hasn't given us more work than what we get.
