Help is available as you study the English books and films.

We all need fresh ideas at times as we discuss the English books and films and begin to build our own ideas about them.

Helen McAlley, BA, Dip Ed. (Melb.) BEd. (La Trobe), who has taught and coached at Year 12 level, has produced CDs or audio tapes on over 70 books and films.

Each commentary gives a detailed analysis of the particular work, discussing background, character development, issues which arise, etc.

Each commentary runs for 60 minutes. Students find them useful to listen to at home, to discuss with other students, to use in walkmans etc. Teachers buy them for their teachers’ resource centres, for private use, in the classroom or in the library.
