Any ideas on which related texts would work well ?
I'm thinking of doing a picture book: The Island by Armin Greder for my main related text but I can't seem to find aspects of the rubric that relate explicitly to each module.
Thanks in advance !! :)

The Island definitely works for discovery, for a moment there it was almost my related text. I think it is limited though, for Module C specifically. For discovery, it works on a number of levels. With trials around the corner, you want to be comfortable that your selection is rich on surface value, seeing as you don't necessarily have weeks and weeks of time to analyse the text. As Jamon suggested, definitely look at the other threads (Jamon linked to them) and see how other people have dealt with their own related texts :)

I didn't do Discovery, but I know Elyse would suggest Distant Lands - Tim Winton. It is a very powerful ORT, might be worth a look?
For Module C, I used V for Vendetta against Shakespeare's Tragedy of Julius Caesar. The key to that was that both were fairly political, but that might not match here. Hopefully someone can be of more help!
You should flick through our Module Marking and AoS Marking Threads to see what other people have used! It might give you some inspiration ;D

Thank you, also do you by any chance have notes that you previously wrote for The Island that I could use as a guide for my own ?

What would be a good ORT for The Tempest for AOS other than Heart of Darkness by Conrad? And what would be a good related text for Wag The Dog for Mod C?

I'd love to say yes! But the study we did on it was as a class and there was a powerpoint our teacher showed us, which I no longer have access to because it was on the school drive :( :( :(
From memory, there are a few bits and pieces of analysis floating around on the internet!
