Titel 1 Grundforløb: The English and the World

Alle 1.g-klasser på Svendborg Gymnasium arbejder i grundforløbet med tekster, der passer til temaet ”The English and the World”. I forløbet kommer vi rundt til forskellige tidligere kolonier og fokus er på det engelske sprog og dets historie, tekstanalyse og grammatiske emner, specielt ordklasser. Der arbejdes primært med analyse af fiktion og eleverne har derfor specielt arbejdet med personkarakteristik, temaer, fortællestil, stemning, budskab og billedsprog.

Titel 2 Important American Speeches

Rhetorical Analysis and Important Speeches
Efter det fælles grundforløb på SG, hvor vi primært arbejdede med fiktionstekster, er det første studieretningsforløb bevidst tonet hen imod den valgte studieretning med EN A og SA A og arbejdet med non-fiction tekster.
Der er arbejdet med retorisk analyse med fokus på kendskab til og anvendelse af det retoriske pentagram og appelformer.
Der er arbejdet med analyseteori og tekstanalyse, klassen har holdt oplæg og skrevet essay.
Udgangspunktet har været den helt aktuelle tale Biden holdt efter Hamas’ angreb på Israel, efterfulgt af Bush’s tale efter 9/11. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream Speech” afrunder forløbet.

Titel 3 Setting out in Life

Formålene med dette skoleår har været:

Sprogfærdighed:

- At eleverne kan udtrykke sig flydende og spontant med formidlingsbevidsthed i præsentation, samtale og diskussion på nuanceret og velstruktureret mundtligt engelsk om en bred vifte af almene og faglige emner med høj grad af grammatisk korrekthed og med evne til selvkorrektion
- At eleverne kan læse og forstå lange og komplekse tekster på engelsk i forskellige genrer og stillejer
- At eleverne opnår forståelse for forholdsvis komplekse mundtlige engelske tekster og samtaler af en vis længde

Sprog, tekst og kultur:

- At eleverne kan gøre rede for indhold, synspunkter og sproglige særtræk i engelsksprogede tekster
- At eleverne kan analysere og fortolke forskellige nyere og ældre tekster med anvendelse af relevant faglig terminologi og metode
- At eleverne kan perspektivere tekster litteraturhistorisk og kulturelt

Formålet med dette specifikke forløb været at give eleverne et dybere indblik på opvækst og hvad det kan indebære i andre kulturer og under problematiske forhold, såsom mentale udfordringer og hvad der kunne betegnes som  privilegier hos nogen, men som er en forhindring for andre. Ydermere har eleverne haft fokus på betydningen af ensomhed, da dette er blevet stigende problem, som fortsat flere unge oplever.
For at udvide synet på opvækst blandt eleverne, har de arbejdet både med fiktive og ikke-fiktive tekster.
Under analysering af de fiktive værker har eleverne haft fokus på og udarbejdet forståelse for analytiske værktøjer, såsom:

- Setting
- Characters
- Theme
- Message
- Narrator
- Language

I forhold til de ikke-fiktive værker, har de taget udgangspunkt i det retoriske pentagram, med fokus på:

- Topic
- Reader
- Circumstances
- Intention
- Tone

- ”Indian Camp” – Ernest Hemmingway (”Contexts”, Jonna Engberg-Pedersen et al.: 12-16)

Titel 4 Horror (EXAM)

Med dette forløb har eleverne haft fokus på ”horror” genren, som kontinuerligt er steget i popularitet siden de første folklore og almuehistorier kom til, både fra Europa men også dele af Afrika og Nordamerika. Selv om mange ville mene, at ”horror” er meningsløst og kun bliver brugt til at få adrenalinen i kroppen til at stige, har genren en dybere mening og er oftest en afspejling af os mennesker og vores onde natur.
For at sikre, at eleverne har dannet forståelse for dette, har de ikke blot læst fiktive tekster, fra ældre og nyere tid, men også artikler samt TED-talks om bl.a. vampyrer.

Under analysering af de fiktive værker, har eleverne fortsat haft fokus på og udarbejdet forståelse for analytiske værktøjer, såsom:

- Narrator
- Symbolism
- Imagery
- Psychoanalytical criticism

Endvidere har eleverne lært og dannet forståelse for filmanalyse og brugen af filmiske virkemidler, såsom:

- Framing and focus
- Camera angle
- Editing
- Sound track
- Wider contexts

Under dette forløb har eleverne ligeledes haft størst fokus på mundtligheden, hvor de har lært at argumentere for egne holdninger, blandt andet ved at bruge relevante tekster til at støtte deres argumenter, eksempelvis under diskussioner for klassen.
