Site purpose & Audience

This site has been designed to assist my senior students
focus on the essence of their English Studies, including the Area of Study and  Modules as well as the English Extension 1 Elective for the NSW HSC.   In addition, it will give them a place where they can find
material which was covered in class which they might have missed or would like to go over again at their leisure. 

Why QUIDDITY???
Quiddity (from La.  quidditas) literally means the essence of something
- "what" is an object(s) or it's core.   This is opposed to the "quam" or the "how" (again from La.) - English is always about the "what" and "how" (quid et quam)!!
