Hi I’m Daniel McGeoch and this term we have been reading Bram Stoker’s Dracula it is a very interesting book made back in 1897 the novel is influenced by folk stile stories. The novel was controversial for it’s time because themes in the novel, such as the role of women in Victorian culture, conventional and conservative sexuality, immigration, colonialism, post colonialism and folklore. The book was made into a very successful movie made in 1931 directed by Tod Browing and staring Bela Lugosi. The movie was considered the scariest movie ever made but now day is considered giant flop special effects wise, I mean they had a stupid flashlight on Dracula’s face to add a glowing feel to his eyes. The book was and is a great timeless classic.

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.

I was Year 9 in 09
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.

I was Year 8 in 09
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!
