Titel 2	Gen Z Challenges Forløbet handler om globale udfordringer for Gen Z med særligt fokus på polariserende emner som pandemien, klimaforandringer, mentalt helbred og generationsforskelle. Vi arbejder med digt- og argumentationsanalyse, som deler sproglige fagtermer, samt globale kompetencer, demokratisk dannelse og karrierelæring/-refleksioner. Argumentationsanalysen er koblet til praksis i arbejdet med selv at konstruere overbevisende argumenter for et synspunkt, bl.a. når vi arbejder med verserende retssager, der drives frem af unge aktivister. Forløbet udmunder i et større tværfagligt projektarbejde med fysik (FS4) om innovation og formidling, hvor Toulmins argumentationsmodel, retoriske greb og overvejelser om kommunikationssituationen anvendes i praksis af eleverne, der udvikler og præsenterer et konkret produkt som løsning på en global klimarelateret problemstilling. I det hele taget fremhæves elevernes egne handlemuligheder i form af diskussioner om aktivisme, om at gennemskue klimaretorik, argumenter baseret på patos og fejlslutninger, og om hvilken rolle Gen Z kan og bør spille i klimadebatten. • Worksheet on current global challenges, vocabulary, images, discussion, reflection, data and characteristics of Generation Z. • Intro to poetry analysis, lyrical devices • Anonymous: “Twitter Poem” (poem, 2020) • Hannah Myriam Baptiste: ”It’s (Not) Showtime” (poem, 2021) • Daphne Matsakis: “Balloons” (poem, 2021) • Intro to argumentation analysis (Toulmin), rhetorical pentagon / communication situation, forms of appeal (PP + small exercises). • Rhetorical and linguistic devices (tropes and figures), semantic fields, word classes. • Student debates – construct arguments (pro/con) on current polarizing topics using Toulmin’s model. • Rhetological fallacies website - types of arguments / tricks. • Donald Trump, Barack Obama: “Tweets on Global Warming / Climate Change” (tweets, 2017) • Greta Thunberg: “UN Speech” (speech, 2019) + video + written assignment. • Kelsey Piper: “Stop telling kids that climate change will destroy their world” (commentary, VOX, 2022) • António Guterres: “Remarks at the opening of COP27” (speech, Nov. 2022 - excerpt) • Amy Harmon: “Climate Science Meets a Stubborn Obstacle: Students” (article, NYT, 2017) + intro the feature as a genre • Tessa Koumoundouros: “These 4 Factors Can Explain Why So Many People Are Rejecting Science” (ScienceAlert, 2022) • Lauren Sommer: “Coping with Climate Change: Advice for Kids – from Kids” (NPR, audio, 2023) FORLØBET OPGIVES IKKE TIL EKSAMEN
