Titel 2	The Science of... In this unit, we will study the science of the brain especially focusing on the impact of technology. We will start out by groups doing research about different topics relating to the brain in order to acquire some background knowledge and terminology.

At the end of the unit, you should be able to: -reflect on what steals our attention today - use terminology for poetry analysis - use methods (e.g. semantic fields) to open up a difficult poem -analyze non-fiction texts of different kinds including video material -- discuss whether technology is a blessing or a curse in terms of learning -discuss whether or not AI is helpful or not in education and in terms of learning how to write analyses -explain how an essay is structured (e.g. what is a funnel intro? what is the paragraph structure, what is a conclusion) -explain how to write a good prompt -explain the difference between using AI as 'makker' (=study buddy) and as 'maker' -know what concord (kongruens) is and what the rules concerning concord are Material: Emily Dickinson “The Brain – is wider than the sky” (1863) Johann Hari “The 65-second attention span: Technology has stolen our ability to focus.

Titel 8	The American Dream The American frame of mind can be said to have emerged from the settlers, the pioneers, the revolutionary war and the civil war. The unit aims at creating an understanding of core American values such as freedom, individuality and the American Dream. We will explore what the American Dream is and what happens if you are unable or unwilling to achieve that dream. In that connection, we will use Merton’s ‘strain theory’ to understand different ways of responding to the pressures of society. We will also look at how the American Dream has changed through history and discuss whether it is more or less achievable today.
