Like many of the other people here, my prescribed text is Cosi. My related ones are 'Miracle on St. David's Day' and 'Once were Warrior's.' Nothing very exciting... oh well, better than having nothing at all.

obimoshman1234, the journeys part of the syllabus is opened to both of the English levels. So either can do anyone of these areas. I am also in Advanced English and doing Inner Journeys.

There's only one standard class, and they're doing inner journeys (Cosi) as well.

I go to the same school as Azriel, and we have 7 Advanced english classes and one standard. We didn't have a standar until year 12, everyone did advanced in year 11, and people had already started or finished journeys by the time they dropped to standard, so it makes sense that we are all doing the same focus and text.
