Titel 1 School system in the UK

In this unit we have talked about the school system in England, with focus on boarding schools/prep schools. Our focus has been on the downsides to a life in a boarding school. Through our material we have introduced the students to different genres and analyses of both fact and fiction.

We have seen the documentary "The Making of Them" and read "The Happiest Days of Your Life" by Penelope Lively. Watched an episode of "The Crown: Paterfamilias" and read two articles; "The Uniform Approach" from "What's Up Britain" and "Boarding Schools can do tremendous harm..." from The Guardian. The students have also written their first analytical essay about the short film "New Boy": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdeioVndUhs

Focus has been on the literary analysis of the short stories, through comparative analyses of the different stories in "Short Cuts".

Titel 4 Different Worlds

This subject deals with different ways of life, different cultures and ideas. We have focused on the aboriginals of Australia and the Maori of New Zealand, as other English speaking country, and the idea of being caught between two cultures and the consequences of this. We have also talked about both history and mythology (The Myth of the Rainbow Serpent). Again we have worked on both fiction and non-fiction and also the cinematic analysis of a film. Work forms have been group work, pair work and individual work.
