Holiday Season: Tis the season to be reading.

With the Summer holiday season literally just around the corner, it only seems natural that this is the time of year when people slowly start to lose interest in more important, long term things...like studying and English, for instance. As a result, you can be sure that I most likely won't force you to submit a 2000 word essay and bibliography for marking, nor will I expect you to ( however this might apply only to a select few). If anything, I would just appreciate if your enthusiasm can last through our lessons together and to encourage you all to get READING. If there's anything that'll pay off, it'll be the fact you managed to read a few good novels and watch some amazing films in the extent of the holiday season and the time leading up to this break. Although it may seem like quite a burden, I'm positive you'll thank me later.

Term 4: Topics of Interest.

With the exam period almost coming to an end, it only seems inevitable that the workload decreases and the interest in the topic mildly comes to a distinctive halt. As a result, I've figured that (if you're in year twelve, please disregard) you probably might be more interested in learning aspects of English which may best relate to your knowledge and personal interests. These few weeks, I will be asking you which topics you would like us to go over. Examples of topics may include:
- 19th Century Literature and values
- Australian poetry
- Film studies
- Novel and contextual studies
- Understanding literary genres
- Visual literature and picture books
- Revision of creative writing etc.
If you have any suggestions, feel free to email me prior to our lesson so that I can organise, otherwise please come equipt as usual to go over school based work and assignments and be prepared with a topic of interest in mind.
