(aka material or your own choosing)

For those Modules that require you to choose additional materials to support your study, like the Area of Study, it is important to:

* choose material with some length – it doesn’t have to be a novel, but not a news report of two paragraphs – so that there are ideas fleshed out and language features to deconstruct

* choose material that will easily allow you to make connections to your prescribed text. You do not have to have material that makes exact connections but material that has connections in terms of similarities and differences.

You can find suggestions for related material for the different am

* choose material that is mature eg there is a big difference between Finding Nemo and The Rabbit Proof Fence although both deal with journeys.

* you may find you will get better related material if you search sources like the Sydney Morning Herald, Time magazine and the ABC website rather than Woman’s Day and The Australian Women’s Weekly because of the nature of the audience they aim to reach..

* you may find making the effort to read an extra book – a novel, biography etc – or do some research  may be worth the effort in terms of the quality of the related material you can find.
