[English] RE: new English course

Oh dear, I should have written hear hear! I just reread my own message. Did you read the article in the Australian by Mark Lopez on Tues about left wing bias in Victorian english curriculum. It's an interesting one to do with students. My goodness, it's raining.

Does anyone out there know when we will have access to the sample Year 12 English paper for 2008? Whilst I don't want the Y12 paper to drive what we are doing in Year 11, a bit more direction would be welcome, VCE is meant to be a two year program!
 
 (It does strike me as odd -- to say the very least -- that the Study Design and assessment processes should be seen as two separate entities when, from my viewpoint, good teaching demands that a course should be designed knowing what you are teaching, why you are teaching it AND how you will assess it, in one integrated process!)
 
I'd also be interested to hear about the processes others are implementing and the kinds of decisions you are making to structure the new course.
