NOTE: The films have to be by certain directors and of course you can't pick a text which you are doing already for your single text.

EDIT: Take no notice of the highlighted texts. That was just for my use and it wouldn't unhighlight

If you don't want to do King Lear in detail with all the quote learning you could do Lear as part of the comparative and pick one of the following (apart from King Lear) as your single text. You obviously have to pick one with 'H' if you are doing honours

2010 SINGLE TEXT LIST

Wuthering Heights (H/O)
Dancing at Lughnasa (H/O)
Sive (O)
Lamb (O)
Lies of Silence (O)
Panther in the Basement (O)
King Lear (H/O)
The Grapes of Wrath (H/O)
The Blackwater Lightship (H/O)

I was thinking of that but Higher Level students have to do Shakespeare (says in syllabus)

Yep. Higher level students have to do Shakespeare but you can do it as either the single text or as part of the comparative.

The letter beside it refers to the level if you're doing it as the single text only. You can't do Lies of Silence as a single text, but for the comparative it's grand.

I don't really get why you are so obsessed with the texts done in the IOE, it's just a selection of texts that work well together for them. The same combination could be done up and down the country.

Seeing as you have a grinds teacher who knows the texts they do, ask her and get them read over the mid-term. Isn't that what you're paying him/her for?

Did anyone actually tell her the texts?

Yep you're right Panther in the Basement is higher level (and ordinary) for the comparative section as in my first posting above.

Panther in the Basement is ordinary level only for the single text as in my third posting above
