This term in Stage 4 English we have been studying the film Edward Scissorhands, directed by Tim Burton. Students have considered issues such as, “What makes people different?” and “How does society treat difference?” We also looked at The Hero’s Journey and whether Edward Scissorhands was a Hero or Monster. Students devised an interesting variety of group presentations which included interviews and their own interpretations of scenes from the movie.
Meanwhile in Art, Dean engaged students with some fantastic activities related to the investigation and interpretation of the art of Tim Burton. Through this cross curricula study students again came up with some interesting group presentations that included some imaginative representations of Tim Burton’s character Edward Scissorhands.
