As part of our current expedition, year 9 are studying structures and how they impact the world around us. Starting from the structure of the atom, all the way to the structure of the Government. In HUMS we have been studying the impact the Government structure has on us, focusing on Communism and Capitalism. We have studied how Lenin and Stalin interpreted communism and compared this to Mao Zedong in China.
We are also studying the anchor text Lord of the Flies which shows us how societal structure impacts those around us with the emphasis on a hierarchy. We even created a first person narrative from the perspective of a character from the book, gave each other critique and did some redrafting.
Challenging stuff for year 9 – they are smashing it!
