In
addition you should find at least three questions which you find interesting.
At

Week 46 (3) Monday we'll deal with leftovers from Wednesday. Next, watch "An Unfair World". Task: After this incident, our government has decided to send soldiers to Iraq to train Iraqi soldiers. However, the Norwegian parliament is the final decision maker, and some Norwegian politicians (SV, SP and some from FRP) do not support this because they are afraid Norway will be targeted more by terrorists. What is your stand to the issue? Should we send soldiers to educate soldiers in Iraq? Do you think we'll be a hotter terrorist target if we do?
Afterwards you will listen to the interview with Malin Henriksen and do tasks on page 178 in your text book.
Finally, there will be some time to get your blogs off your hands. Maybe this link could help you with your essay?
Week 47 (2) + Week 48 (3+2)
The next two weeks we'll deal with English as a world language. We'll do what the students in Sandvika vgs have done in connection with this aim from the curriculum, ie follow this plan. One of the links in Ann MIchaelsen's lesson plan does not function - here it is!
However, in addition to posting on your blog, you are also going to give a presentation which should last from 5-7 minutes. If you add sound or media clip to your presentation, they should be limited to maximum 1,5 minutes. Use some kind of visuals to support your facts.
Week 49 (2) + week 50 (3) + week 51 (2)
Coming up now is the following competence aim "elaborate on and discuss various aspects of multicultural societies in the English-speaking world" - and "reflect on how cultural differences and dissimilar value systems can affect communication."
Lesson plan
First listen to Obama's speech about illegal immigration and how he wants to solve the problem. Take down answers to the following:
a) What is he going to do?
b) How can he do this without Congress's blessing?
c) What is an American according to Obama?
d) What does Obama urge the House of Representatives to do?
e) What is your stand to the issue, do you think Congress will pass the bill soon? Give reasons for your opinion.
Next, on the same web page, watch and listen to "The Voices of Immigration in America." Write a summary of what these voices say. Finally, choose one president's quote and argue for why you prefer that particular one.
The UK is also a multicultural society. Do they have any problems at all with immigration and immigrants being accepted in society? Before answering the question, listen to what David Cameron, the British prime minister representing the Conservative party said a year ago. Next, follow this link to Youtube and listen to what the leader of the UK Independence party (UKIP) says.
On the other side of the world we find the enormous island Australia. Through centuries people have come from all over the world to settle here. Today, in fact lots of people are told to turn back to where they come from. Listen to what John Howard, former prime minister, says about immigration. Today, Tony Abbott is prime minister, but has the stance to immigration changed?Listen to what he says. This video could also be interesting because it gives a good picture of what Abbott really thinks about immigration.
Use the statistics (handout) and what you now know about immigration in the USA, the UK and Australia and write a text in which you discuss the global refugee problem.
