Beskrivelse af de enkelte undervisningsforløb (1 skema for hvert forløb)
Titel 1 Crime

The focus of this theme is Crime. The students have worked with different perspectives on crime in both fiction and real life. The focus has been on understanding why we as people are fascinated by crime stories, both real and made up.

In this theme, the students have worked on analysing many different genres of texts, including song, documentary and short story. This has given the students a varied view on the theme and enabled them to practice their analytical skills on many different genres of text.

The students have worked with the following texts:
- The Man Who Loved Flowers by Stephen King [Short story, ~5 ns]
- A Study in Scarlet, chapter 1 by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle [Excerpt of short story, ~5 ns]

- True Crime projects. The students chose their own True Crime documentary to analyse.
- Murder Ballads. The students chose their own murder ballad to analyse.

Titel 3 Black America [EKSAMENSFORLØB]

The theme has focused on the black experience in past and present USA and the history of black people in the US from the antebellum period to the present day.  As such, the theme was kickstarted with an exercise in which the students created a timeline of black history in the US with predetermined events which became the guideline for putting the texts we later worked with in a broader historical perspective.

In working with the theme, the students have been presented with a wide variation of genres including an excerpt from a slave narrative, short stories, a novel, a documentary and non-fiction works.

Throughout the theme, the students have worked with different methods for analysing texts both in terms of analytical approaches and work methods (both group work and individual work, and written and oral focus).

Titel 4 Gender and Gender Identity [EKSAMENSFORLØB]

For this theme, the students have worked with the concept of non-traditional and non-binary gender identities. The students have been made familiar with a broad vocabulary to talk about gender in a varied and respectful way. The students have been made familiar with the concepts of gender as a binary as well as a spectrum and been exposed to various stories (fictional and real life) about and by people who have non-traditional gender identities.
In working with this theme, the students have gained an insight into a highly debated issue in contemporary society which had previously been unfamiliar to many of the students in the class.

Titel 6 Digitale Hjælpemidler til Årsprøve og Eksamen

Du må medbringe alt materiale, som er i fysisk form, eller som kan opbevares lokalt på din computer. ”Opbevares lokalt” betyder materiale, som er gemt på din computer og ikke fx i et digitalt værktøj eller program (dog må du gerne have materiale liggende i et noteprogram).

Hvis du bruger et noteprogram (som fx OneNote) skal du kunne tilgå dine noter uden internetadgang. I OneNote gør du følgende: Synkroniser de notesbøger du skal bruge, hold dem åbne og slå automatisk synkronisering fra under eksamen.

Du må medbringe computer men IKKE telefon eller andet kommunikationsudstyr (som fx smartwatch eller smartglasses).

Du må ikke bruge digitale værktøjer og programmer m.v. (herunder AI) – dog må du bruge et tekstbehandlings (skal fungere offline).

Som udgangspunkt må du altså IKKE tilgå internettet, men følgende online materiale må tilgås under den skriftlige eksamen og i forberedelsestiden til den mundtlige eksamen:

Titel 7 War Poetry [EKSAMENSFORLØB]

This theme has focused on how poetry has been used as a form of expression to handle the experiences that come with being at war. The theme has included poems related to wars beginning with the Crimean war in 1853-1856 and ending with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in the 2000s and 2010s. The focus has been on analysing and interpreting poetry and song lyrics  as well as on how both the form and themes of the war poems have changed and evolved throughout history. As such, the theme has included both structured poems, e.g. sonnets, and free verse poems and both poems written by soldier and by civilians living through a war.
In addition to the in-class work with analysing and interpreting poetry, the students also visited Gdansk in Poland, where they visited the WWII museum and the Nazi concentration camp Stuthoff. Based on their experiences in Gdansk, the students had to write their own poems about war and its effects on a person and/or a society. This exercise has the double function of being an opportunity for creative writing and to illustrate how difficult it is to write a good structured poem (one poem had to be written as a sonnet).
