I'm worried that BOS is going to trip us up with really hard questions.
+1

I'm doing language and gender, and a lot of the practice questions we got are quite hard to understand. Three prescribed texts would suck as well. Orlando has got to be one of the most boring books I have ever partially read.

I doubt they will. They've never done it before, and extension is more about the ideas associated with the texts than the texts themselves. They're going to want to see how you apply your understanding of the things you have learnt about these ideas rather than churning out ideas spoon fed to you by your teacher.

That being said, be prepared. BOS can be dicks.
Don't count on your luck, we already got fucked over for Module B

Oh oops, my bad!
Umm im not too sure actually, i know Baulko, HGHS, Sydney Girls and Parra Marist run classes with it. And you guys :) But i think maybe with small classes in a bunch of other schools that i dont know about there'd be more that 100 =S nevertheless, it isnt a popular elective at all...which can be a good thing haha!
Also id reckon its the hardest Ext English elective they offer, so if you can do well in it then you're set! But thats probably another reason why its not so popular.
Our teacher is super good with it as well! Id think though that any teacher that wanted to teach TD would have to have a passion for the elective, so they'd all be good.
I go to Parramatta Marist. We do The French Lieutenant's Woman, Night Letters and Orlando. I never really liked Night Letters, I loved The French Lieutenant's Woman though! Orlando was alright I guess, but I think i would have preferred Calvino!

Wow I never knew Baulko, HSGS and Sydney Girls do Textual Dynamics! It can get confusing at times, but I really enjoyed it! How did you go today?
