English with Aljaz

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!

You need to practice the vocabulary from Quizlet , read through the handout and repeat the background of the movie (political situation in Germany in 1936, who was in power, what was their ideology?, etc.), and prepare to write a bit about the main characters from the movie. The test will take one lesson. If you miss it on Wednesday, you'll have to take it on Thursday 31st May. See you soon!
