If you finished your Great Depression task today or on Monday please use your class time to complete this quiz about World War Two. You might already know some answers but you will need to search for most.
If you are interested here is the original script for Good Will Hunting.
Your film reviews are due in tomorrow and then we will be watching Good Will Hunting one more time and writing our essays. Here are the questions.
1. How do the stories that characters tell in Good Will Hunting advance the story and tell us more about the characters.
2. Good Will Hunting has a number of intelligent characters. What are the different ways they demonstrate their intelligence?
3. How closely do the major characters in Good Will Hunting fit character archetypes. Provide examples of behaviour in this story to prove your answer.
You can find these questions and some useful links by going to this page – Good Will Hunting – Red Space Rocket Wiki

And here is the assignment.
We have been concerned about a shortage of water in Australia for years and years now. In this context I found this article interesting.
MELBOURNE will have so much water in the next few decades it will no longer make economic sense to install rainwater tanks or greywater systems in new homes, a State Government-commissioned report has found.
Report says no rainwater tanks or greywater systems for Melbourne
Write a fictional interview with someone about their life during the Great Depression. You can make up the details of this person’s story but the general information needs to be historically accurate.
If you are in my English class you should spend all of both sessions working on your two film reviews. This is the last class time you will get for this and I will mark them on Tuesday next week.
Please read the description at the top of the Wiki page before you decide your work is either perfect or finished. I expect Year 10 quality work for this piece and that takes concentration and re-writing.
Here is the task for today.

This is the review we wrote in class.
Crackerjack, by Paul Maloney and written by Richard and Mick Malloy, is a comedy about the sport of lawn bowls. Mick Malloy stars as Jack Simpson, a slacker who gets forced to play bowls and finds himself fighting for Bayside, a Melbourne club. Funny and friendly minor characters are played by Bill Hunter and John Clarke. This film is classic Australian humour, inspired many to play this sport, and would appeal to young and old.

Yesterday in History we experienced a very simple version of the stock market rising then falling. Now I don’t know about you but this helped me be quite worried by the headlines in 2008.
NOT for more than 20 years have Australian shareholders seen a day as bleak as yesterday, as more than $90 billion was torn out of the sharemarket as crisis meetings of the world’s financial leaders began in Washington.
