Overview of last week. (9.9 - 13.9.)

This week its my (Amys) turn and I'll give my very best to inform you about everything we did in class.
Our topic dealt with the three sciences chemistry, biology and physics. In groups of three people we took one special science out of that and prepared a prensentation about this science and the most important words.
With this knowlegde we started a discussion:
Why is my science the most important and best science ever?!

Obviously we bored Mr Schütt to death. To not let that happen again I searched for some important aspects for improving our discussion skills.:

Observe

Notice what other students do. Ask yourself:

• How do the other students ask questions?
• How do they disagree with or support the topic?
• How do other students make critical comments?

Listen

Effective listeners don't just hear what is being said, they think about it and actively process it.

• Be an active listener and don't let your attention drift. Stay attentive and focus on what is being said.
• Identify the main ideas being discussed.
• Evaluate what is being said. Think about how it relates to the main idea/ theme of the tutorial discussion.
• Listen with an open mind and be receptive to new ideas and points of view. Think about how they fit in with what you have already learnt.

Practise

Practise discussing outside class. Begin by asking questions of fellow students. Ask them about:

• the course material
• their opinions
• information or advice about the course

So in my opinion this are the most important aspects. On the page where I get the information from are a lot more aspects and examples. If you want to read all of it, click on the link:

And (really important): Use personal examples and experiances! Don't be boring!

Plüschi was so kind and sent me a picture of her structure for the outline:

And I took a picture of Mr Schütts wonderful board graphic so you have two examples for the struture:

Next week we will wrtite our Klausur ( :'(  ) and go on with the proposal for a talk show. On Thursday we built some groups (you know i hate that!) and already started the proposal.

What is a talkshow?
- discussion round that boraches on one topic
- usually on TV
- hosts and guests
___________________________
anticipation based on hosts, guests and te audience

That should be enough. If you miss something I'm really sorry and I will post it later. But as you know you have to tell me :D
Have a nice weekend,
Amy ♥

Overview of last week

Overview of last week

(02.09- 06.09.2013)

Our Topic of last week was "identity and privacy". We worked with movies and compared three trailer:

The Net (trailer)

Untraceable (trailer)

A Scanner Darkly (trailer)

In Groups, we discussed the trailer (contents, style, music, sound effects) and compared all groups. 
Our homework was to find important elements for a trailer... but no one made it.

American Trailer


-a guiding voice --> to explain the content

-background music --> to convey the mood

-sound effects --> to make it exciting

-jumpcuts --> to make it exciting

-only most important scenes --> to submitted the content

-the famous actors names --> to attract the audience 


Here is an EXTRA INFORMATION about How to make an Trailer(<--click)!!



Our task for the week was to creat an own trailer.
A fictional movie broaches on surveillance(<--click) and voyeurism(<--click).

On Tuesday we divided us into Groups and talked about our proposal for our trailer. We talked to Mr. Schütt about it and started recording.

On Thursday we watched the trailer and talked about it.

What is science? 

(click-->)Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy.

(click-->)Chemistry, a branch of physical science, is the study of the composition, properties and behavior of matter.

  

(click-->)Physics is the natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force.

On Thursday we also started a new theme: science. We divided up in groups and visited the three praparation rooms of biology, chemistry and physics in the school. We got a worksheet and had to write down the materials of every science. 

Back in classroom we structure our notice and evaluated it. 

I hope my weekly overview helped you to repeat the last week.

BJ's proposal

Writing a proposal for a flyer – Surveillance in Clay-school

This flyer should address the teachers and students from clay school. Do you want to be seen everywhere in every place nevertheless it’s private or open?  Cameras are okay BUT not at all extents. We just need cameras where there are necessary. So when the students will read the flyer carefully it will convince them to vote the correct way. A WAY FOR SECURITY AND PRIVACY.

To catch the reader’s attention we decided to put an image or illustration of two cameras on the top of the flyer. It also stresses which with problem we have to deal.

All the words which are written in red or were been underlined are words which emphasis the problem of being seen everywhere at every time.  The language which should be used is appealing to the students and very easy to understand. The letters are large so it’s easy to read for all.  

The students should vote. So the table below should facilitate the voters for choosing the correct way. It shows that it’s okay to have cameras in playgrounds, halls, entrances and classrooms to stop vandalism and violence BUT that it is not correct to put cameras in private places like the changing room in the gym, the toilets, or student-/ teachers lounge. 

All in all the camera on the top catches the reader’s attention. The question below: How can we still differentiate between surveillance and voyeurism in school? stresses the topic we worked with. And the table below shows and should convince the students that a way of security and privacy is possible and the arguments in which parts of the school convince them.
