Hey guys! I got my half yearly marks back on my Discovery essay recently and the analysis of the prescribed text (Go Back to Where You Came from - documentary) was really good, however my teacher said the only thing that stopped me from achieving top range of marks was my related material (Mending Wall - poem by Robert Frost). It doesn't have enough conceptual ideas in it to suit some possible questions so I need to change it and that's what I'm struggling with.
If you have any suggestions of discovery related materials I could have a look it I would appreciate it so much!
Thank you!

Hi I was just wondering if you know of any good related texts for The Story of Tom Brennan. It has to be Australian too. The module is 'Exploring Transitions' :)

Hey there, welcome to the forums!! ;D
Awesome to hear that your analysis of the core text went well! Our resident Discovery expert is taking some time off at the moment, but I know she would recommend two texts: Neighbours or Distant Lands. Both are written by an Australian novelist, Tim Winton. One can be found in the anthology called Scission, another can be found in the anthology "Minimum of Two." Elyse recommends these stories to everyone, and I know they are both very conceptually rich. Hopefully one of them might work for you!!

Hey Hannah! I didn't study that module, but I know of some good short stories by Australian novelist Tim Winton. Neighbours or Distant Lands are great, they were the Related Texts used by Elyse (our resident Discovery expert) for her Area of Study. They might be applicable here!! One can be found in the anthology called Scission, another can be found in the anthology "Minimum of Two." I hope this helps! ;D
