Hey blogger, it’s your pal Wes (Year 8) here. I would just like to tell you what classroom ‘G7’ have been doing over the past semester. The things we have done include studying magazines, looking at different magazines, designing our own magazines and much more.
It has been real fun especially with our home dog, Mr Excell. He is the ‘bestest’ teacher, he’s fun to be around with, very kind, smart and the thing I like about him the most is that he’s more like your friend than a teacher.
I love English and the things we do in it, I hope we do more fun things like this in the near future (:

I was Year 10 in 09
In Term 3 my Year 10s began to look at popular culture, fads, icons and celebrities of the last few decades. From Marilyn Monroe to Marilyn Manson, The Beatles to The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and roller disco rinks to hip hop street culture! We are also looking at song lyrics, dance moves and music videos and their place in our own culture.
In Term 4 we dove into some classic gothic fiction tales such as Dracula and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and began comparing them to contemporary novels such as Twilight.

Up, up and away! In Term 3, my Year 9's began investigating some of the world's most beloved comic book heroes. Why isn't Super Girl and Bat Woman aren't as popular as their male equivalents? Are girls just as tough as boys? Can boy's be sensitive nurses too? Should there be an all female AFL team? We will continue to uncover these and other tired, old gender stereotypes.
In Term 4 we looked at Television genres and wrote about Australian soapies Home and Away and Packed to the Rafters. We are working on the assignment of creating our own television shows that will appeal to a teenage audience.

In Term 3 my Year 8's got to feel what it was like to walk in the shoes of a magazine journalist. After checking out some of the most popular magazines in Australia today, we decided that we could do that! Stay tuned to see the fantastic magazine we will have created by the end of this term.
In Term 4 we investigated advertising techniques and did a range of activites from creating our own billboards to writing our own radio ads!
