Do not use The Castle. It was previously a prescribed text in the Retreat from the Global module. I'd hazard to guess that it was pulled off because too many kids were analysing it in too much of a simplistic manner. One of the objectives of the extension course is to promote independent...

Sam, can you provide some sources to back up your views about sharia only existing in a state of unified Muslim peoples? Does it say it in the Koran? As far as I knew, any laws or rules derived mainly from the Koran, and to a lesser extent, the Hadith. Now if this is true, then Sharia exists...

What HP7 epilogue? (I deny its existence.)

Because the extension two course is meant to be an extension of the knowledge and skills learned in both advanced and extension, I don't think it would be a very wise idea for your project to be merely an exploration of the crime module in the 3unit course. If you were to pursue this idea, you...

Honey, I was suggesting Verne for possible study. Anyone with half a brain would know that he wrote science fiction.

My teacher told me to never ever compare or contrast the sources.

Jules Verne? =P

Aw, that sucks. All that suspense for nuttin'.

Twilight Zone. I Meant Twilight Zone. Twilight Zone!!!

Not all languages scale well. French continuers scales only slightly better than chemistry/physics, and not as well as history extension. But I guess that's pretty good scaling. Arabic and Vietnamese etc. scale... not too well. EEI and EE2 are about the same in terms of scaling. And yes...

Would there be any historians on him?

Acceleration does relieve the workload in year twelve, but I would contend with the fact that it acceleration thereby increases your UAI. Sure, for some exceptionally talented kids, they can get state rankings in year 11. But for the vast majority, the marks accelerated kids get are not what...

Lawl Char, most of us had an idea that they were trolls but didn't want to say it for fear we would be labelled as bitter/sour/sore loserz.

Speaking of awards, has anyone gotten a notification yet? I'm getting tired of waiting! lol I found my reflection statement this morning! While I was cleaning my room.

No! Snape's actually a good guy. Who died for Harry. *pouts* Can't have many good things to say about Harry's name for his son... Albus Severus I ask you... I loved Snape after HP7. What a beauty of a character by JKR.

What about, don't do the text because it is really overdone? I'm being honest with you...

I was school captain. It was pretty good. You had to take on quite a bit but it allows you to create more efficient study patterns. It is an invaluable experience as Morning Storm said, and yeah don't let the inconveniences bother you. Because what you gain outweighs all the negatives. For...

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis if anyone is interested.
