Beskrivelse af de enkelte undervisningsforløb (1 skema for hvert forløb)
Titel 1 Grundforløb; Zombies

Forløbet præsenterer eleverne for genrer inden for både fiktion og non-fiktion og introducerer dem samtidig for basale tekstanalytiske begreber – alt sammen gennem tekster, der på forskellig vis har zombier som omdrejningspunkt. Zombier (og monstre i det hele taget) kan ses som forvrængede spejlbilleder af noget menneskeligt – ofte noget, vi selv har svært ved at se i øjnene – og teksterne kan derfor fortælle os noget om både det at være menneske og om vores samfund.

Forløbet er bygget op over en rækker overordnede, engelskfaglige læringsmål, så alle elever i grundforløbet sikres det samme udgangspunkt når grundforløbet er slut og studieretningsforløbet begynder.

Forløbet strækker sig over 14 moduler, og nedenfor findes læringsmål og tekstoversigt samt forslag til forløbsplan, arbejdet med grammatik og en samlet skriftlig opgave på 5 elevtimer.

Tekstanalyse
• At kende til de overordnede forskelle på fiktion og non-fiktion
• At kunne give eksempler på genrer indenfor både fiktion og non-fiktion
• At kunne anvende basale tekstanalytiske begreber inden for fiktion (narrator – point of view – setting – characters – themes) og non-fiktion (modes of persuasion – intention – topic – sender – audience – context)

Grammatik og sprog
• At kunne identificere de vigtigste ordklasser i en tekst (verber, substantiver, adjektiver)
• At kunne finde neksus (subjekt og verballed) i en sætning
• At kende til begrebet (verbal)kongruens og kunne forklare den mest simple regel: -s på 3. ps. ental

Skriftlighed
• At skrive i præsens
• At bruge linkers/forbinderord
• At skrive et summary
• At skrive en lille diskussion
