Titel 1 Playing with fear: Monsters

Forløbsbeskrivelse
I dette forløb introduceres eleverne for fænomenet “rekreativ frygt” (recreational fear). På baggrund af en samling tværfaglig forskning undersøger vi hvordan og hvorfor vi mennesker kan lide at lege med frygt. Denne teori bruger vi til at analysere bl.a. fortællestil, stilistik og personkarakteristikker i en række forskellige medier med horror-elementer.

Titel 5 Black Lives matter

This Black Lives Matter topic attempts, through a variety of texts, to give the students, among other things, a historical perspective on race in the US today, and therefore the topic takes as its point of departure slavery and moves from there through the Am. Civil War, the Gettysburg Address, the Jim Crow Laws, the Civil Rights movement to today where the US still seems to have a degree of structural racism in its institutions resulting, for example, in the death of George Floyd. We read diaries, song lyrics, poetry and speeches.The students make presentations on various subjects and we watch Matsouka's Queen and Slim (2019)
