Year of Wonders & Imaginative Landscape

Very good initiative, me like

Thanks luken93!

I'll add it to the list. Don't worry about stating your context everybody - I'll collect prompts for all 4.

Year of Wonders and On the Waterfront - I already PM'd you, Andrew (sorry but typing werdna just feels weird, when I know it's obviously your name backwards).

Context: Encountering Conflict -
The Crucible and Secret River

[werdna]

Thanks!

Are we all happy with the changes I've made?

I think the first few months (until around when unit 3 finishes) should operate differently. This is because most schools go from language analysis to text response, then lastly to context. Until people do these respective sections in class, I don't think it's a good idea to start doing them yourself.

Hey. I'm up for this I think... Defs need improvement and motivation ><


I know the first text we're studying is A christmas Carol - Charles Dickens
We're also studying Cosi & The player (movie) - I'm not quite sure what heading they fit under

The Rugmaker of Mazar-E-Sharif isn't for text response, it's for context (Encountering Conflict).

Yeap I mentioned this in the first post - I will phase in text response topics and context prompts once most members have covered the work in class.

Ah sorry, didn't see that. Just saw the timetable and thought of that problem. Also, put me down as a marker. I assume I'm qualified

That's alright. Yeah, I was hoping you'd help mark some of the work.. thanks!

funkyducky we are doing very similar texts
On the water front and COsi are the text responses; The crucible and The secret river are our contxt novels.

Woahwoahwoah, I'm not doing this I'm marking EVERYONE'S essays D: Let's hope some others jump on board too. There's no way I can mark that many with my course commitments.

[eeps]

I'm in.

I'm doing The Secret River by Kate Grenville and The Rugmaker of Mazar-e-Sharif by Najaf Mazari and Bob Hillman - context is Encountering Conflict. Presumably my text responses are Richard III and Years of Wonder.
