8B - Violence in school
Violence in school - A writing assignment
Read the following questions and use them as a starting point for your essay on violence in school. Make sure that your personal thoughts and opinions are visible in the text.
What are the reasons behind a school massacre? Are there simple answers, like; Public opinion and laws about weapon? Computer games? Drugs? General frustration among teenagers? Or is it more complicated?
Why haven’t we experienced these events in Sweden? Why have they in Finland?
How is the mental health of teenagers in general today? In Umea, in Sweden, globally?
Is it possible to prevent these school massacres from ever happening again?
What kind of violence DO we have here? Physical? Mental? Why is that, do you think?
Excerpt from Bowling for Columbine:
Use this lesson and the lesson next week to complete the essay and remember:
You HAVE TO run the text through SpellRight! (Copy the text, paste it in a Word document and click the tab Oribi. And don’t forget to copy+paste it back in the Google doc when edited.)

World War II - year 8
Since you are currently working with World War II in social science I figured we might as well do some reading comprehension activities in English connected to the subject.

Write your answers to the questions below in a Google doc and save it in your English folder on Google Drive.

Mobile phones - year 8
Read through the instruction below, then follow the link to the article here.
Read the article, then do the exercises:
- check your understanding: true or false
- check your understanding: gap fill
- check your grammar: multiple choice - prepositions
Then decide your opinion for the discussion question in red:
Some parents confiscate their teenager's phone as a punishment for poor behaviour. Is that a good idea? What's your opinion?
Read the comments from other viewers and the write and post your own answer as a comment on the page.
Then write a post about mobile phones and post on your blog. You can regard the following: How important is the phone to you? To your friends? To your family? Should mobile phones be used in school (and how so or why not?) Your post should be at least 100 words long. If you use any sources in your text, make sure you link to them.

Game production - year 8
You have tried programming your own games with Skratch, great wasn't it?
Now, let's try a slightly different approach, it's a lot easier than programming but it's still game production. I want you to go to Gamestar Mechanic and get an account.
To become a Mechanic you need to do the quests, from them you get skills and the components you need.
It's important to read each instruction carefully!
And then I want you to evaluate and write a post on your blog; What are the pro's and con's of using games and game programs in school education? Are there good/bad games? Games for different school subjects? Do you have examples? Is it equal for all students?
Stretch yourselves this time and make a post you have really thought about, worked through and spell checked. And linking is nice - link to a source of sorts (facts, opinions, games, learning sites etc)

Skratch
- Gå till http://scratch.mit.edu/studios/290037/ och klicka på länken ”Följ” uppe till höger. Detta är klassens galleri och här lägger du till din produktion när den är färdig.
- Ta del av några olika exempel på produktioner av olika slag (berättelser, spel etc) som är skapade med Scratch. (Klicka på knappen Utforska)
- Välj en av de produktioner du tittat på som du tycker är särskilt intressant och lämna en kommentar i klassens Scratch-galleri där du kortfattat beskriver varför produktionen fångat ditt intresse.
- Öppna Scratch editor och skapa en enklare produktion, det kan vara en digital berättelse eller varför inte ett litet interaktivt spel? Ta inspiration av de olika exempel/övningar du tittat på. Produktionen ska vara levande (innehålla rörelse) och innehålla ljud och bild (kan även vara egenproducerat). Försök gärna få den interaktiv, d.v.s. att den som kör produktionen på något sätt behöver vara aktiv genom att klicka nånstans, skriva nåt etc.
- Produktionen laddar du därefter upp till kursens egna Scratch-studio (CH teknikstudio)
- Skriv ett blogginlägg om din programmeringsupplevelse; vad gick bra, vad gick mindre bra, är det här intressant att hålla på med eller rena döden :)
- Välj en av dina klasskamraters Scratch-produktion, klicka på knappen "Se inuti" och prova därefter att remixa denna. När du är färdig publicerar du din remix i klassens Scratch-studio (CH Teknikstudio).
- Skriv ett blogginlägg om arbetet med remixen och vad du lärt dig av att titta på någon annans produktion.

8 B - TV series
Watch the pilot of your chosen series and answer the below questions:
How does the episode start? How does it end? Is there a purpose to that??
Who are the main characters??
What is the main plot??
What genre is the series? ?
Who is the targeted audience??
What kind of surrounding elements does the series have? (Fansite, web page, clothes etc) Is that important??
What makes you want to continue to watch the series? Or don't you?
Write this in a Google document and save it in your English folder in Google Apps
Please do this during the lesson, I don't want to hear from my fellow teachers that you use all your work periods during the next weeks to watch series and claim Helene told you so ;)
