M3: Globalization and Citizenship, the subject was taught by two teachers, Torbjorn Ydegard who is very friendly and exudes serentity and spreads peaceful atmosphere all around himself and Henrik Baekgaard whose lessons were very amusing and incetative and who uses modern means( eg. movies) to involve students and make them thinking about the problems of todays world....thats why I like both of them:)
We were dealing with many things, maybe the most important was the freedom of speech:where are the limits and where they should be, is freedom of speech endengared?----> eg. by DURAN II and the claim that talking openly about religious thinks could be outlawed.
We realized many interesting thinks, but I can give here only few examples: - that tolerance in society and at school may have something in common with religion----> Catholic( only one way of doing thinks...) vs. Protestant( many smaller churches, liberal....) countries.
- we tried to decide how the pupils could be taught in democratic way---->note: I also appreciated that Torbjorn always writtes our ideas on the blackboard and then we discussed them.
- Marshal Rosenberg and his non violent way of communication was introduced to us-----> giraffe vs. jackal + we should be familiarized with peoples NEEDS.
- we worked with Obama`s inaugural speech---- we tried to search sentences with the theme of citizenship and then we made short pocked video about democracy( arguing about the last piece of cake and how to solve it in democratic way)
- when using short movies in order to teach pupils about evil in the world we should choose characters that are complicated, not black and white, so that the pupils could identificate with them....
I enjoyed this lesson not only because it isery similar to what I study but it also gave me many topics to think about.
