Titel 4	Transcendentalism (Exam theme) The course starts off by zooming in on the philosophical and literary movement transcendentalism, i.e. concepts such as self-reliance, nonconformity and solitude. We read extracts from "Civil Disobedience" and "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau, one of the most important writers from the period of transcendentalism. Furthermore, we read chapter 1 and chapter 18 from the novel "Into the Wild", and watched the movie-version of the novel. The connection between the period of transcendentalism and the main character of "Into the Wild", Christopher McCandless, was established. Lastly, we worked with the legacy of "Into the Wild" by focusing on tragic cases in which people have died as a result of their fascination with life in the wilderness. The course material is the class compendium which consists of the following texts: Extracts from “Civil Disobedience” (1849) by Henry David Thoreau Chapter 5 from “Walden; Or, Life in the Woods” (1854) by Henry David Thoreau Chapter 1 and 18 from “Into the Wild” (1996) by Jon Krakauer Movie: “Into the Wild” (2007), Sean Penn The lasting legacy of “Into the Wild” – and the negligence of the local authorities - www.thehindu.com (2020) Arizona teen’s body found in Oregon after apparent suicide - www.latimes.com (2013)

Titel 5	Great Britain (Exam theme; covered in 2g) The course starts off by zooming in on the British Empire, including a focus on the famous expression the empire "where the sun never sets". Following this, we worked with the idea of multiculturalism with a focus on London as one of the most multicultural cities in the world and multicultural Scotland. The course was rounded off with a focus on Brexit, and, on the more recent trend; that a growing number of brits seem to regret the Brexit decision, as seen in a number of polls from 2023. The course material is the class compendium, which consists of the following texts: “The British Empire” (Targets coursebook, Berntzen, 2001) “The Changing Face of Scotland: What's Driving Its Ethnic Diversity?” (www.theculturetrip.com) “Every race, colour, nation and religion on earth” (www.theguardian.com) “Yes He Khan!

Titel 6	Jamaica (Exam theme; covered in 2g) Initially, the commonwealth was covered very briefly: The Commonwealth consists of 53 countries, and it was created when the colonization stopped, so almost all countries in the Commonwealth are former British colonies. The countries in the Commonwealth are independent. The concepts Jamaican patois and English as lingua franca were also covered. Afterwards we covered the immigration waves from the Carribean to England. The focus was on immigrants from Jamaica from the 1950s and onward, including the Windrush generation and the Windrush scandal. Lastly, we worked with the significance of the district of Brixton in London, i.e. the Brixton riots, Alex Wheatle’s life story, and the gentrification that this district has experienced in recent years. The course material consists of the following texts: What is Windrush and who are the Windrush generation? (www.bbc.com ) “How has Brixton really changed? The data behind the story” (www.theguardian.com) Alex Wheatle: ‘I have nightmarish moments where my past comes back and hits me’ (www.theguardian.com) 'People forget the Windrush generation built Brixton - gentrification is erasing its history' (www.mylondonnews.com)
