Hi...
Is it acceptable to have a TV show episode as a related text? I have a gut feeling that it is either not allowed/not a good idea, but there are so many TV shows I can think of that would link in really well with discovery... :-\

Hey,
Yep! Any medium can be used as a related text. Fun fact: I used a video game as my final related text.

Hi...
Sweet, thanks!
That's so cool about using a video game. What game was it?
And also, if I am going to do a TV show, should I stick to one episode, or one season, or something else?

Hey, yeah! It's very difficult to talk about a video game though which is why not many decide to use them haha. I used To the Moon, which is an exploration game about a final man's wish. It's beautiful!
Hm, I've never really thought about using a TV show but if the discovery theme is evident throughout the season, I'd choose to do a season's worth. You have more to explore as well!
Good luck with it though, would be interested to see how you structure your essay around a TV show! :D

Ask yourself: Do you thoroughly enjoy this book? Do you think you will enjoy studying it in depth? Will studying it too much bore you and cause you to loose intrest?
If you answered yes to the first two, and no to the last one, then this is probably a good text to use.
Also consider your perscribed. Is it a story? If it is then doing a story for a related isn't the best way to go. It is usually best to do two different contrasting text types (E.g my perscribed was the tempest, a play so i did a short story as a related).
If you're still stuck for ideas, then the list at the beginning of this thread would be a good place to start. You can find that Here
Hope this helps! :)
