The topic this time is “Indien 2009: Auf der Suche nach Gandhi”

There is a blog on the matter as well as an animated project on the journey.

Well, for those who are still interested in the topic. 🙂

And here it is:

Mass Manipulation by Carolin and Dagny

And a remark on the idea of handing out the exams again which it seems I am not allowed to do. The risk of not getting them back before the final exams seems to be too high especially as they have to be archived in the school. Only thing I could do, is to offer you to have a look into them during schooldays after the easter break, i.e. from the April 15th onwards. I do not know how much good that does so close to the exams, in fact in the time of you writing your exams. Still, if you would like to have a look on one of your free days, let me know and I’ll have them in school and you can read them in the library which should be open during most of the day.

What I will do, however, is to post the exams and the expectations for them. So, keep checking the blog.

If you want to practice your grammar a bit I remind you of www.ego4u.de (especially if-clauses may be interesting).

and here are the results from Ganderkesee … well, the results of the group work on Friday.

Feel free to download them.

As requested, please revise SiZa pp. 63 – 68 “Text Analysis: Audiovisual Texts” to be able to use those technical terms in the lessons prepared by Dorothee, Tobias and Laura.

As I might have mentioned before especially in this time with the final exams closing in on us, make use of the internet and the blogs you and other courses have worked on:
The links for our course members’ blogs you’ll find on the pages within this blog but also make sure to check these pages:
Mr. Donath’s ErNi: http://donathlk.wordpress.com/
Mrs. Münch’s ErNi: http://muenchen74.wordpress.com/

Also have a look at this short report on their and our visit to the theatre in Delmenhorst and think about what your review would/will read/sound like: http://www.ulricianum-aurich.de/news/2009/februar/24_moon.htm

If you haven’t done so so far, NOW is the time to get active, to do more than in and for the lessons, use the ressources that are available to you and get all the information, all the background, all the opinions and ideas you can get. These are YOUR final exams, make them the best exams you will have ever written!

For March this (“Hit British film Slumdog Millionaire has won the top prize at the Academy Awards, winning eight Oscars including best director and best picture. ” >>BBC >>wikipedia) may be something for us to fill an evening with, especially if we can get Dorothee’s uncle to visit us in the last week before the Easter Break.

After a quick review round on the performance we saw today, we are going to deal with your homework on the “City of Final Destination” by E.B. White, especially including the comparison of task 6.
We are also going to work on the lesson prepared by Svenja, Laura and Gerrit on Moon Palace resp. Big Cities.

Please visit the blog tomorrow for additional information on this matter.

Nice one! I like the last picture best!

I hope everyone did well in their exams this week and used the time that I did not fill with homework for last minute preparation.

For the lesson tomorrow Steffen, Florian and Kai are asking us to get basic information on the “Big Apple” as well as read the poem “Don’t take my Air Jordans away“. Also get some information on the author.
