Thank you for such an insightful podcast- it targeted specific areas rather than tackling English with a vague approach.
I went to an English lecture last week and it was utterly unhelpful because it was much too general.
Heath asked great questions, I found I kept saying to myself- oh yeah, I was wondering about that too!
Thanks for this and for answering my question

Fantastic material and a “must listen” for all budding VCE students. A veritable tour de force of VCE English Units. Of particular interest are the strategies for approaching the SAC; a crucial signpost in every students personal journey in VCE English.
Can’t get enough. We want more Ross Huggard!

Did Ross say that our essays should be written using the past tense? Because I’ve been told by my teachers that essays should generally be in the present tense.
