Its not as though this person woke up and was a little nervous about an English paper. THEY WERE ON MEDICATION. Of course it's fair. Quit your whinging people.
Keep your clothes on
Dont show graphic rape
Dont be racist
Dont do a piece about something that would seriously offend a general audience
Dont swear too much (they CAN cut this out later, but perhaps a piece about the history of the f-word could be a little better thought out)

I believe its from this play called "The Woman Who Cooked Her Husband" by Debbie Isitt
Re: Public School vs. Private
Quite right, everybody sat down and somehow took an independent predictor of the quality of teaching in every single school. And a completely non-biased body decided that YOUR school's faculty are THE BEST teachers in Australia. EXACTLY RIGHT! I'm so glad that...
Your essay needs to focus on 2 things:
1. DO these plays use stereotypes, and how?
AND
2. Is this a WEAKNESS?
See I would personally argue that while Ruby Moon does use stereotyped characters in certain sections, it is hardly a weakness as it adds to the depth and confronting character of...
Most of the monologues you'll find on websites will be really terrible and written by a twelve year old who is "deep" or "apathetic." You want to either:

Anyone have any ideas about recording?
Just finished studying 'Hiroshima' thankfully. It is so terrible, why we are studying it when the other texts are so fantastic is beyond me. Catch-22 is so hillarious, almost balances out the horror that is 'Hiroshima'
Agreed with AbsoluteZero. But also you need to remember that its drama not music and, much as music is certainly an element of drama, if the whole thing is overwhelmed by a song, then I dont think the markers will respond overly positively. Perhaps Im wrong but I would say that if you do use...
True.
But you can still get a band six and not get nominated. It really comes down to a whim of the markers. Ok, so thats an overstatement, but it is their own discretion. ALSO, for groups, there's no guarantee that every member got a band six.
Re: crucible related texts
There are lots of examples of belonging in The Crucible. At the most basic of levels: Salem wants John Proctor to belong, John Proctor doesnt want to belong. All the other ones stem from that core conflict of the play...
GP: 3 local politicians raising funds for a bankrupted local council. (nope, no deeper meaning at all)
