BELONGINGS ideas list now available

In 2009 the HSC students stop doing the subject "Journeys" and start doing the subject "Belonging". This means they will be coming in asking for texts (fiction, non-fiction, dvd's etc) to read or watch about this theme. On the www.insidebreak.org.au
website is a list of ideas for the students to use, also on this website is a list of theme words of relevance to the topic. Always remind the students to check with their teachers about the suitability of the text they have chosen.

Bibliography help

At a recent 2008 HSC seminar Lyndon Sharp from the NSW Board of Studies recommended the http://www.noodletools.com/ website for making bibliographies. NoodleBib is available on the site and is a comprehensive and accurate bibliography composer with fully-integrated note-taking.

Journeys - ideas lists

I have put 3 booklists on the desktop on the PC near the phone - they give ideas for English students who want ideas on what to read or watch for Imaginative Journeys, Inner Journeys and Physical Journeys. These will eventually be on the HSC website as well. Any more ideas for these lists please let me know, am particularly after any fiction that could be used for inner journeys.
