So excited. I don't know you, I just saw Edward in your avatar and had to brag about it to someone who's not sick of me saying it.
I have all 3 trailers on my iPod and I watch them daily, hahaha.
I know this is probably the wrong thread...there's bound to be an off-topic Twilight thread, but I'm new here, so...meh. I'll find it soon.

Wow seriously? thats awesome! Whens the premiere? how much was it? you're so lucky!

[the-derivative]

Umm we're doing

[kaz1]

Area of Study- Romulus, My Father
Modules: Hamlet, Blade Runner, Frankenstein

 

[freaky.styly]

I know we're doing Frankenstein and Bladerunner

i'm so disappointed they chose Hamlet over Julius Caesar, i really wanted that.

i believe we're studying emily dickinson also.

for extension we're doing Romanticism which seems pretty awesome.

belonging seems very easy to pick up, and after looking at this years Paper One for Journeys, i think it will be easy enough for plenty of people to get band 6 this year as well as the next. regardless of the AOS. not as hard as i expected..

 

[shantu1992]

Area of Study- Romulus, My Father
Modules: Hamlet, Blade Runner, Frankenstein

majority will follow that ^ schedule

 

[Mithead]

AoS: The Crucible
A: Austen/Weldon
B: Yeats
C: Julius Caesar

EXT: After the Bomb
Hiroshima
Catch-22
The Spy Who Came in from the Cole.

Quite pleased really. And I agree with shantu1992 that most people will do Romulus, Hamlet, Blade Runner, etc. Certainly most classes in our school are doing it.

 

[jet]

We started After the Bomb in extension and it is really interesting. We are looking at how the bomb affected people's psyche and so we discuss existentialism and we had tis really good argument about the cold war. We start Sylvia Plath on Monday, and Catch 22 is hilarious.
Overall it looks like it will be good.
