Beskrivelse af de enkelte undervisningsforløb (1 skema for hvert forløb)
Titel 1 George Orwell: Animal Farm

We'll start our English course with a classic novel, George Orwell's "Animal Farm" from 1945. You will be reading quite a lot of text - an entire novel - which will be a pleasant experience. Besides, "Animal Farm", which is an allegorical study of power and politics, might seem quite relevant today.
We'll focus on vocabulary, analysis of setting, social environment, characters (a lot!), but also rhetorical analysis, analysis of argumentation and of commercials and propaganda.

Titel 2 Northern Ireland - Still Troubled?

Alessandra Celesia's new documentary tells the stories of people in today's Belfast who are still affected - troubled - by the Troubles in the 1960s to 1997, specifically on the so-called Bloody Sunday in 1972. We'll study the differences and prejudices about each other that exist among Catholics and Protestants - Republicans and Unionists, learning about the fairly recent history of the Troubles, how they ended - politically - in 1997, but still seem to haunt individuals in Northern Ireland.

Titel 4 Scotland: Whit Like?

Our study trip will take us to Scotland - with social studies. So, what is it like, this country, which is a part of the United Kingdom but both historically and more recently has fought against the English? So, the focus will be on Scottish national identity then and now.
In English, we'll begin with a modern (American!) representation of an important period in Scottish history with the popular tv series Outlander. It will be an opportunity to learn some history as well as using your skills at analysing a visual text. More history is found at Bannockburn with national poet Robert Burns. Then we'll move quickly to the present and study what modern Scotland, especially regarding social class and modern Scottish politics look like so that you'll be prepared for your tasks on the study trip.

In Scotland, main points of interest (here in our UVB) are:
In Edinburgh:
Guided tour at the Scottish Parliament + meeting with MSP Emma Roddick. Your interviews with random Scots about their views on Scottish national identity, independence and Brexit.
Traditions: Ceilidh dancing!
In Glasgow:
Guided tour with Invisible Glasgow, a former homeless person. Your own field studies of selected areas in Glasgow.
In the Highlands:
ALMOST in the footsteps of the Scottish rebels in the 1700s :)

Texts:
Most of the texts are from Finderup & Fog: Worlds of Scotland. Systime 2024. We'll read the background texts about Scottish history as we go along.

Titel 5 USA: Presidential election and the abortion issue

A presidential election is coming up in America - in case you hadn't noticed :) We'll study the political system with its Constitution, its Checks & Balances, and the two presidential candidates, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, and their views on selected issues before we focus on the abortion issue. Analyses of argumentation, rhetorics, modes of appeal, and use of rhetorical devices will be the main focus. This will also be the topic of your SRO - in English and social studies.

Titel 6 Black America

How is America doing when it comes to fulfilling the lofty promises stated in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence? Some claim that it is actually the Black Americans who are working the hardest to make those promises a reality - and who are facing the most obstacles.
We'll go back a bit in American history and trace the discrimination against Black Americans as well as some important Black voices of protest and strength.
