I've been using 'A Christmas Carol', the film Graveyard of the
Fireflies, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Inheritance, Frankenstein,
poetry text Blue Light, Clear Atom and a Shakespeare play. Also did
earlier in year a bit of a Shaun Tan unit using class set of The Red
Tree and short film, The Lost Thing.

We have done 
Beneath Clouds (Great Australian film) but will next year swap to Mary
and Max (animated film by Adam Eliot)
The Longest Memory but will swap to  The Lieutenant by Kate Grenville
(possibly) 
Night 
Medea (but I think I am sick of that)

Cheers, 
Greta

We do Edgar Allen Poe, A View From the Bridge  (as a sort of Views and
Values study), Frankenstein (as a novel into film study), Midsummer
Nights and a short story from Tim Winton's  "Minimum of Two" for the
comparison task, and Chaucer's A Millers Tale for creative response. But
nothing very modern in here...

Just went to a New texts for Year 12 English PD and was told Atwood's
Cat's Eye, Carver's Will You Be Quiet Please and Things We Didn't See
Coming, Steven Amsterdam (I think) would all work well for Year 11 Lit
as well.

Cheers
Alex

We are finding 'I'm not Scared' a terrific choice at yr 11.

We still love Macbeth, always works with Yr 11s with lots of
supplementary activities.

We also look at Paul Kelly's lyrics and again Yr 11s respond to the
familiarity of these.
Good luck, Kathryn
