ak18 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 We had the Kite Runner, The Importance of Being Earnest, The Great Gatsby, and Pygmalion. All 4 were interesting, even though I'm not particularly fond of Pygmalion. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charliepants Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) In English A L&L the SL students have been given these books so far:- Pygmalion by Bernard Shaw (Enjoyable, funny at times, really liked it)- A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen (I'd read it before, funny to see how the work was translated into English)- Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe (Very interesting, nice to read some African literature in English class for a change)- Hamlet by Shakespeare (I'd read it before, but I saw a lot more interesting aspects of it this time since I tried to analyze it more)The HL students have read Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi (funny, strong message) as well, but that's the only difference so far.

J. Gibbs Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 So far, we're reading Huck Finn and The Great Gatsby. The Great Gatsby was pretty good, but I can tell I'm not gonna like annotating Huck Finn. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboro76 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 We have done Kenneth Slessor poems (some were good others not as much), Othello (Surprising liked it, which is the first time I can say that for a Shakespeare play) and A handmaids tale by Margret Atwood (interesting, although it was slow and nothing really happened. It was a bit like a boring 1984) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
