Ah.. that's the one section I haven't summarised in POM -- I could only remember condensation polymers and ethanol :p I was thinking of electrolysis, but that's only in Shipwrecks.


Hm. I need to find a sup. text for Inner Journeys. Any suggestions? I've got a novel and one of two poems for my other texts. Has anyone just beginning AOS picked all three?

Half of the supp. texts i see in other threads are ones that i haven't seen or read before.
I need a supp. text that im familiar with.

I've had a look in there, but it's mostly just names of texts, and I wouldn't mind discussion on which ones seem feasible and have enough information.
Yeah, me too. I want good, simple notes on these texts and how it relates to journeys. I dunno where to get them from.
Can someone help me?

We had our first official english class, I definately know what we're doing now

AoS - Physical Journeys - Peter Skryzneski's Poems
Mod A - In the Wild - BN/BNW
Mod B - Critical study of texts - King Lear
Mod C - Telling the truth - Frontline

We only just finished analysing Immigrants on Central Station and starting on Feliks Skryzneski

We're really behind, and we have the left overs of 2004-2005 stimulus books :p

Same. I'd love to do one of my favourite movies, Memento or Life As A House, but I don't like analysing great movies, and I know Memento would be hard.
I feel like just doing Huck Finn, and getting my boyfriend's notes from last years Standard course and adding on.

It seems like no-one on here is doing 'My Place', which is a shame. It's a good book, despite the crap ending.
I think everyone must have gotten those booklets, maybe it's just temporary.

Yeah, go frontline!! My english teacher told me that it's probably the only enjoyable part of the course, my english teacher told me frontline is very funny and should be fun analysing.

Same my teacher said that Mod C - Frontline is the most enjoyable, as her 2005 class said :) Looking forward to it

It seems for C, everyone on here is doing Frontline, so it makes me wonder, how can you try and determine whether Sylvia Plath is crazy through her and Hughes' poems?

Do the chaser as an extra text? I wouldnt recommend it though if you were doing Frontline as the prescibed text as they are of similar Text type.

We've been watching Frontline - it's very good. I don't mind the Chaser either, and you probably should be able to use it as an additional text as it takes a similar role as Frontline.

We're doing hamlet, rozencrantz and guildenstern (can't spell it), and frontline. Hamlet's gonna be a hard text, my tutor said so and i believe her. At least we've got frontline to be looking forward to.
