there is also something to do with "toad hall" as well i don't know what tho.

STUPID QUESTION: in the HSC exam do you get a copy of the stimulus booklet or is all from memory???

 

[Chand]

memory...cause u only need to choose one n look at techniques n have qoutes for those techniques...

 

[Will_Sparky]

Isnt a shakespere compulsory?? I thought it was... well u wont get ur booklet till next year... and u need one text from that... plus u got ur electives... how many schools do Emma and Clueless?

 

[abby]

It seems that although the AoS has changed, many of the texts stay the same, as our school is doing
-Immigrant Chronicle
-On Giant's Shoulders, which are both in new and old AoS
as well as King Lear, Hamlet/Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead, Emma/Clueless, Frontline and others

fun times ahead!

 

[grk_styl]

We just got our booklists so King Lear is definetly one of our texts. Plus the Immigrant Chronicle and Emma/Clueless. Doesn't seem like many texts, but it'll probably be heaps of work

 

[Supra]

yah we're doin king lear as well as justice game and brave new world...plus there will b related tests for the aos (i think the movie bladerunner)

Furthermore: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/syllabus2000_liste.html#earthenviroscience

go there and scroll down to english, u will find the a3 poster for texts for the aos (2004/05) and the stimulus booklet for the 2004/05 AOS (journeys)

 

[+:: $i[Q]u3 ::+]

you do actually HAVE to do a shakespeare.. though when u do it is depends on which modules u doin.

you HAVE to do a shakespeare, a drama, a media thing, a novel and poetry. one of each. for each module u can do different things.

Thats an excerpt from Wind in the Willows

 

[frodo]

we're doing Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card as our prescribed text for Journeys. anyone else read it? it's really interesting and disturbing. Now i want to read the other books in the series, which is annoying argh

 

[Zarathustra]

Is anyone doing Coleridge for imaginative journeys?????
(selected poetry I presume??????)

 

[babygoose!]

yeh my teacher said we were doing coleridge in yr 12 so i guess we're doing journeys as well

 

[picaresque]

Coleridge isn't bad, but he's a bit tame - pretty descriptions and rather refreshing - compared to the other romantic poets. Give me Wordsworth or Byron anyday.

Um, Yeah. We're doing him in class too.

 

[Tenille]

were doing the physical journeys one, or something

 

[MissSavage29]

We're doing Immigrant Chronicles for our AOS - we are doing the journey but our teacher said soemthing about a physical journey being focus or somehting - i've got no idea.

For Moduals we do emma/clueless, anthony and cleopatra and wild swans.
So that is going to be a huge amount of work - wild swans alone is soooo thick. I'm trying to read all my texts over the holidays, just finished extension book - You just dont understand.

With all the texts do we have to have our own private supplimentary material? Cause we've been instructed to get material over teh holidays and say how it relates to the Journey so that would mean we have the main text, plus school sup material, plus the stimulous booklet, plus our own info...That seems like a lot of work to remember.

 

[Tenille]

where doing the Immigrant Chronicle as well, not looking forward to having to spell that guys name lol

 

[Supra]

i think we're doin coleridge as well---therfore we're doin imaginative journeys
