English 2010

[NE2000]

Oh so it was the highest performing one

The report also says:
The highest mean scores were achieved by students who wrote on Hard Times, King Richard III, Selected Poems, (Slessor) and Collected Stories (Farmer).

But I'd imagine AMFAS would be up there. It was the highest performing one out of the 5 most popular ones.

I feel so sad. I remember starting 2009, and seeing the "2009 English students". Now we have the 2010's, naww

Piece of advice? The year fly's by terrible fast. Savour it

[Greggler]

only know my text response texts:
a man for all seasons
1984

[physics]

I'm doing

-A man for all seasons (Bolt)
-1984 (Orwell) Teacher has changed to the movie On the Waterfront

Context: Encountering Conflict
-The Crucible
-The Secret River

Really hoping[working] for 40+working bloody hard for 45+ in reality

same but we have Cosi as a text as well

[vexx]

if i'm forced to do english next year (i will probs cos my school isn't letting me doing EL outside of school >_>):
i think we are doing the Crucible, Life of Pi, Omagh and Cosi.
i'd aim for like 40+, but probs get about 10 ha.

[minilunchbox]

lol ok. So I lied earlier thanks to my new booklist.

I'm actually doing:
Cosi
1984
And then my context is Whose Reality? (omg damn them I wanted to do Identity and Belonging)
The Player (film)
A Streetcar Named Desire

[appianway]

Don't complain about 'Whose Reality'. It's tres chouette.

[ell]

Don't complain about 'Whose Reality'. It's tres chouette.

I agree, I loved Whose Reality, glad my school did it.

[ZachCharge]

We are doing 'The Crucible', 'Maestro', and 'Into Thin Air', so ha (and damn) two ones not mentioned yet.

I wonder how Cosi is going to go. We're doing it too .

Done Cosi this year, it was pretty short, easy and entertaining. Although it did make my teacher admit she is a communist and that she believes all males in our class will someday cheat...

[Souljette_93]

The crucible is one the best text i've read. Glad i'm doing it.

[Nic K]

I am doing:
.1984
.Witness
.Cosi
.The catcher in the rye

[EvangelionZeta]

In your reality, or mine? ^_~

I'm jealous to an extent of every other context in that they get to do some of my favourite texts (The Crucible, Catcher in the Rye).  On the other hand, "Whose Reality?" has the most interesting context topic of them all...

You have opened up a can of worms here my friend! LOL, Identity and Belonging FTW

I have discovered SO MUCH about human minds and about myself! In the texts I have been able to make strong connections etc, to who I am and how I connect to the world! As well as comparing the context with people around me !!!

LOL, nah. IMO i think all the contexts are designed like this, to really enage you, and allow you to be philosophical

Only one thats crap is the Imaginative Landscape, WTF is that? LOL, sounds like you talk about fantasy o.O

[Nic K]

At my school, we get to choose what context we want to do between identity and belonging, whose reality and encountering conflict. It's good that way!! I am doing identity and belonging.

I reckon the imaginative landscape would be interesting!!! I probably would've chosen that if my school offered it.

[xXNovaxX]

What?!

How on earth does that work? The reason schools choose one is so it can be like COLLECTIVE learning, and that we all say ideas related to the ONE theme.

Also, because of financial/resource constraints....it's easier to but a stack load of stuff about one context, than heaps on several.

That's really weird =S

But i suppose it has its merits
