VOCABULARY AND HOMEWORK AFTER LESSON nr. 1 (Friday 13th October)

So, we're underway! We've talked about culture a bit today and I was impressed with your knowledge (kunskaper), awareness (medvetenhet) and understanding (förståelse) of the subject. But we'll go even deeper and try to expand your horizons (vidga er horisont) even more.

Here is some useful vocabulary that we've used today. Make sure you practice these words via conversations in the classroom and in the texts that we'll write throughout the project. Here it goes: 


Building blocks (byggsten) of culture: 

traditions and norms
perspective
values and religion
music, dance, literature, the arts in general 

Some features (drag) of Swedish culture:

reserved (tillbakadragen) or low-key
equality
democracy
fairness (rättvisa)  
secular society = where the religion and the government are separated 

Homework by Friday 20th October:

Write a short description of yourself (check out the descriptions of American students HERE) and email it with a cool picture of yourself to aljaz.kovac@stockholm.se

And think of how we can make a cool class video to present ourselves to our partner class!
