Hi everyone,
Welcome to Year 12 ATAR English. This is the course blog and over the year, we will be using this space to give, interact with and receive a bunch of information.
You will be expected to post and comment on posts on a regular basis.
I have included two pages of work already! On these pages, you’ll see documents and activities. We expect that you read these documents, and all others that are posted over the year, and do the activities in a timely fashion. As a result, you will be able to demonstrate a deep and broad level of understanding which will absolutely contribute to your success in this subject.
To frame the year, it is important to understand that there are no quick fixes to English. To read well, you must read often. To write clearly, you must write regularly. This is not Year 11 and whilst you may have been able to cruise and / or find short cuts through that year, this year requires your best, consistently.
As the famous Greek philosopher Aristotle says:
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
Establish good habits early and maintain them.
We wish you the best for the year; if you ever have questions, always ask them.
Work hard, be good.
Mr Taylor
