Titel 4 Literary Minimalism EXAM

The purpose of this unit is to focus on genre features of short stories and poems and to become familiar with the literary genre 'Minimalism'. We look at characteristic minimalist features in short stories by Ernest Hemingway and poems by Raymond Carver, and we read about the authors' own lives in order to put the texts into perspective. In continuation of this, we focus on, among other things, the topic 'communication' (or lack thereof). Finally, the students remediate a Carver poem. The students present their product and share their thoughts and decisions during the process and in relation to the final product.

The students choose from the following Carver poems:

"Happiness"
"My Daughter and Apple Pie"
"To My Daughter"
"What the Doctor Said"
"Your Dog Dies"
"The Cobweb"
"Drinking While Driving"
"Locking Yourself Out, Then Trying to Get Back in"

Relevant terms:
- The Iceberg Theory
- The Code Hero
- The Concept of Nada
- The Lost Generation

Titel 5 "Of Mice and Men" (værk)

Taking our starting point in the 1930s in America, which is marked by The Great Depression and The Dust Bowl, we read and analyse John Steinbeck's classic piece "Of Mice and Men". In the novel we see the flipside of the American Dream, where many Americans were forced to leave their homes to find work as migrant workers and were consequently degraded to second rate citizens. Through Crook's character we talk about what it meant to be black in the 1930s and through Curley's wife we see what it meant to be a woman in the same period. Analytical focus points are setting, characterization, themes and symbols. We also see the 1992 adaptation of "Of Mice and Men" which we analyse using The Hollywood Model.
Finally we talk 'metoder' in relation to SRO and, eventually, SRP and, in groups, the students present different readings of the novel.

Titel 6 Sex, Gender and Identity - Optakt til SRO (EXAM)

During this topic we have focused on the differences between sex and gender and what gender stereotypes can mean for a person’s sense of identity. We have talked about gender neutral parenting as well as the importance of body language in a world where heteronormativity still is the norm. And we have focused on gender norms and stereotypes. Overall, the importance of words and how the words we use influence our perception of ourselves and our surrounding world has been an important element of this unit.

Central terms are:
Toulmin’s Model of Argumentation: claim, ground, warrant, backing, re-buttal and qualifier.
Rhetorical devices: modes of persuasion (logos, ethos, pathos), allusion, antithesis/contrast, connotation, denotation, irony/humour etc.
Film analysis: characterisation, setting, symbols
