Students will submit their major work, a journal and their reflection statement to the Board of Studies. Students are expected to spend the entire year working towards this goal, which can be daunting. The English Extension 2 unit expects students to work without the instruction and tuition they have been provided with until now. One on one tutoring can help students organize their ideas so that they are able to cope better with the challenges of working independently.

The major work is a text compiled by the student can essentially encompass whatever the student wishes as long as it is justified and documented through the journal and reflection statement. What we can help with is encouraging the student by broadening their horizons and introducing different ways in which we can write and communicate with our readers, studying genres and forms as well as exploring fiction and non-fiction.
