What started as two of us getting sick of being asked "is Hitler part of WW1?" and various other questions (and repeating the outline several times) turned into me creating subject posters for each of the subjects that we either teach, have the potential to teach, or currently teach. They took a while and did end up on the back burner while Stage 2 Media Studies was wrapped up but I am so glad that they are finally done! ** Post will be updated with the PDF's.

I think I said that my last lot of displays would be it ... well, they've been added to. I've added some key terms that are featured in both of the current units as well as printed and laminated an alternative title for "Natural Disasters" - "Hazards" instead. Now, do I **finally** think my class will remain until its time to take it down? Yeah, I think this is it!  Our final units for the year! Geographies of Human Wellbeing for Year 10 Geography and Natural Hazards for Stage 1 Geography. Both units I enjoy teaching quite a bit (although I do have to encourage the Year 11s to pick a natural hazard other than bushfires for their final assignment!) but next year, I think I'm going to re-order the Stage 1 Geography tasks or maybe re-do some parts of the course ... we will see! This was my first experience at a large scale SACE forum, and it was fantastic to be able to work with fellow Media Studies teachers to start to map out our journey to subject renewal.  When I opened the email, I couldn't believe it. I've been teaching Media Studies for the first time this year (at Stage 2 nonetheless!) and decided to throw my hat in the ring for the SACE Subject Renewal Group for Media Studies as my number one and Geography as a back up. Well, I didn't get Geography but I did get Media Studies! I can't wait to work with colleagues at other sites (both public and private sector) and look at how Media Studies can be improved and what changes can/should be enacted. I'm also looking forward to trialling new curriculum as we see where Subject Renewal process takes us! |
