Doing journeys, we're studying a whole lot of Robert Frost right now.
In Ext. 1, we're doing fairytales and currently focusing on Little Red Riding Hood.

ME TOOO! Mostly about gender relationships. After learning about the conventions of a bildungsroman, this is so much better.
Advanced: Identity using '1984' by Orwell

AoS in Prelim is Journeys... (smashed the assessment task, 97.5% come at me! )
We studied Othello as a prescribed text and my ORTS were 'Changes' by three doors down and 'House' (season 5/6 - when he is a mental patient).
Extension is the archetypal quest... studying gilgamesh and mulan (watching Disney in extension for the win!) and my ORT is season 1 of Underbelly... Managed an 88%
Yeah, loving english
Extension 2 cannot come around quick enough!
