Engelsk grundforløb
Forløbet fungerer som en introduktion til engelsk i gymnasiet.
Emnet behandler temaet ”Overcoming Challenges” og har genren ”eventyr” som rød tråd i det valgte materiale. Hovedpersonerne i de fire kernetekster står alle over for nogle udfordringer, som de forsøger at løse gennem en kontraktmodelsstruktur (home-away-home). Derudover har hver tekst også et metodisk-analytisk fokus, hvor eleverne introduceres til centrale, faglige begreber: narrator, characterization, setting og theme. For hver tekst bygges der således ovenpå.
Forløbets grammatiske fokus omhandler ordstilling og kongruens. Der har i løbet af forløbet været to obligatoriske afleveringer; en skriftlig og en mundtlig. Eleverne har ved forløbets afslutning fået feedback.
Kernestof:
Angela Carter. "The Wherewolf" (short story)
Fell, Alison. ”The Shining Mountain " (short story)
“Grimm". S01E01, 2012 ( pilot episode of a tv-series)

1g The American Dream - then and now
Med udgangspunkt i det amerikanske præsidentvalg i november 2024 fokuserer dette emne på en undersøgelse af begrebet "The American Dream". Fra denne aktuelle politiske situation i USA ser vi tilbage for at forstå, hvordan drømmen har udviklet sig gennem tiden.
Eleverne læser og analyserer forskellige materialer, der tilsammen giver perspektiver på den amerikanske drøm. På den måde opnår de en grundlæggende forståelse af de oprindelige amerikanske værdier og landets historie. Emnet berører blandt andet borgerkrigen, der splittede nationen, borgerrettighedsbevægelsen samt nutidens debat om ulighed og USA som en fortsat destination for dem, der søger drømmen om et bedre liv.

From Slavery to #Blacklivesmatter"
Description:
The year 2019 marked 400 years since the first enslaved Africans were brought to what would later become the colony of Virginia. The legacy of racial slavery continues to shape American society, influencing its institutions, inequalities, and dominant discourses.
This course examines both historical and contemporary forms of racial discrimination, as well as resistance movements. It traces key developments from early abolitionist efforts and anti-lynching campaigns to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, and further to present-day activism such as the Black Lives Matter movement. Through this progression, students will explore how struggles for racial justice have evolved—and how they remain relevant today.

Dystopia and Utopia EXAM
Theme: Dystopia and Utopia
This course explores the key characteristics of dystopian fiction, with a primary focus on how the genre constructs imagined societies shaped by control, surveillance, and restricted freedom. Students will examine how dystopian texts reflect real-world issues and function as critical commentaries on contemporary social, political, and technological developments.
A central aim of the course is to develop students’ ability to analyse how dystopian fiction not only warns against potential future dangers but also encourages critical thinking about present-day society. Since dystopian narratives often contain elements of utopian ideals—either as contrasts or distorted versions—the course will also address the interconnected nature of utopia and dystopia.
Materials:
- George Orwell: Animal Farm (novel)
- The Hunger Games by Gary Ross, 2012 (film)
- Jackie DiBartolomeo: "The Dystopian Genre May Never Die", July 19, 2021 (article)
Supplementary materials:
- Handout about Utopian and Dystopian characteristics
- Raoul Peck: "2+2 =5". Documentary, 2025.
Useful terminology:
Utopia, dystopia, totalitarianism, individualism, lack of freedom, propaganda, control of information, surveillance, dehumanization, illusion
DEFINITIONS AND CHARACTERISTICS
• Utopia: A place, state, or condition that is ideally perfect in respect of politics, laws, customs, and conditions.
• Dystopia: A futuristic, imagined universe in which oppressive societal control and the illusion of a perfect society are maintained through corporate, bureaucratic, technological, moral, or totalitarian control. Dystopias, through an exaggerated worst-case scenario, make a criticism about a current trend, societal norm, or political system.
Characteristics of a Dystopian Society
• Propaganda is used to control the citizens of society.
• Information, independent thought, and freedom are restricted.
• A figurehead or concept is worshipped by the citizens of the society.
• Citizens are perceived to be under constant surveillance.
• Citizens have a fear of the outside world.
• Citizens live in a dehumanized state.
• The natural world is banished and distrusted.
• Citizens conform to uniform expectations. Individuality and dissent are bad.
• The society is an illusion of a perfect utopian world.
Types of Dystopian Controls
Most dystopian works present a world in which oppressive societal control and the illusion of a perfect society are maintained through one or more of the following types of controls:
- Corporate control: Society dominated by corporations through media, products, and advertising
- Bureaucratic control: Oppressive regulation and inefficient administrative systems
- Technological control: Domination through technology, science, or surveillance systems
- Philosophical/religious control: Enforcement of ideology through authoritarian or theocratic rule
The Dystopian Protagonist
- Feels trapped within the system and seeks escape
- Questions societal norms and power structures
- Senses that something is fundamentally wrong
- Serves as the reader’s/viewer’s perspective on the flaws of the society
Kompetencer ift. lærerplan
- Fortolke tekster I en historisk sammenhæng
- Værklæsning

True Crime and Evil EXAM
Description:
This course explores the concept of evil from psychological, ethical, and cultural perspectives. A central focus is the difficulty of defining evil and understanding how it is represented in popular culture, particularly in crime narratives and true crime media.
Students will examine explanations of evil behaviour from both nature and nurture perspectives, including genetic predispositions, socialisation, group dynamics, upbringing, and deviant personality traits.
The course also investigates why true crime stories continue to fascinate audiences and raises ethical questions about how such stories are told and consumed.
We will distinguish between moral evil versus natural evil and use Svendsens 4 types of evil to categorise evil deeds - demonic, instrumental, Idealistic, stupid
Central questions:
- What is evil?
- Are all humans capable of committing evil acts?
- What factors contribute to the development of a serial killer: nature (genetics), nurture (environment/socialisation), or a combination of both?
- Why are crime stories and true crime narratives so appealing?
- What ethical dilemmas arise in relation to true crime storytelling?
Materials
- Sean Spence: Bad or Mad (from Engberg-Pedersen et al., Wider Context, pp. 137–140, Gyldendal, 2012)
- Derf Backderf: My Friend Dahmer (true crime graphic memoir, 2012)
- Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes (Netflix, episode 1)
- Joseph Earp: Where Are the Victims? The Ethics of True Crime (article, 2023)
- Jim Fallon: The Mind of a Killer (TED Talk, 2009)
