not every school does crime fiction as the elective module but i like crime it sounds better than some other options

If you do start looking at good Australian texts, our school had a 4000 word essay on stuff like that. If you do I recommend Robert Barrett as the best crime fiction writer.
[CAUTION] Agatha Cristie is really really really really boring.

When i was doing mine, I quite enjoyed it. (though the main reason for doing Ext 1 was to to Ext 2). At least I knew when the test came, I could still watch videos

i know someone who didn't like crime and so didn't like ext. because of this is would not suggest doing it as a 10th unit, do it as a 12th.

i myself liked it after i got my head around what they wanted

I didn't like crime when I was in year 11, did it in year 12, and now can't get enough of it! (bit sad really but anyway...)

(when I say "crime" I mean crime fiction unless otherwise stated)

I'm not a huge fan of crime fiction myself, but I don't find it terribly hard so it's okay. It's not really the genre I don't like - a lot of my related material I love! - it's that I found the set texts to be incredibly boring. I think it really depends a lot on you, what you like, etc..

And, like someone else said, not all schools do crime fiction - there are a lot of other electives within the course.

I'm not fond of the genre, but it's an easy topic.

see it this way... it is not just about crime, but it is "crime fiction". no one likes crime, unless you are a criminimal.

you must watch humpreh bogards film big sleep, that is wonderful
