hello!
(I'm not sure if this is the right thread ??? so I'm sorry if its not)
I'm doing (well I did lol) The Tempest for AOS and was tossing between these related texts, any help is appreciated. Ty!
* Gwen Harwood "Father and Child Part one: Barn Owl "
* A Tropfest short film "Revive"
* Tim Winton " Neighbours"
* this short film I found on FB https://www.facebook.com/tedtalkvideos/videos/703666509821897/
NOTE: "father and child" and "revive" are already analysed in terms of technique not in terms of discovery YET. the other two however I haven't analysed.
ALSO: my teacher did recommend "Invictus BY WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY"

I haven't looked at many of those texts (although that facebook video piqued my intrest) but...
I took AGES to find my related text and i finally came across tim wintons work
I would greatly recconmend him! Also check out another one of his stories "Distant Lands" as an alternative
Also, it's about personal preference, what you believe would be the best choice in your heart. If you like them all equally, then you're just going to have to pick one and roll with it!
In any case, Good luck! ;D

Thank you for your reply but I searched for distant lands but I couldn't find it anywhere. There was only an audio book available which is pre annoying :(
I know this is dumb but... even after I do chose 2 texts idk what to do after that. I don't know how to analyse it in terms of discovery. Everyone says look at the rubric but how do I use t rubric.

Hi...
I was wondering about this only a few weeks ago... Thankfully I talked to my teacher, and she introduced me to a simple approach to start analysing and comparing between the prescribed and related texts. They are called TEE tables.
With these, the rubric is broken up into four aspects: process, perspectives, contextualisation and ramifications/transformations. The aim is to try and include an example, technique and effect for a few rubric points for each of the four aspects. Note: You don't need to try and 'force in' random examples from your texts to match EVERY point, as not all of them are going to be relevant for the text. E.g. You don't need a confronting and provocative discovery for Prince Charming finding that Cinderella's foot fits the glass slipper. (Sorry, it was the first thing that popped into my head ;D).
I've attached a sample table, so feel free to check out the layout! Hope this all makes sense! :D

Your local library is worth a look! I know Distant Lands works really nicely (one of our English lecturers Elyse praises it highly) so if you can't find something else, worth a quick trip to see ;D
