On 15 April 2009 was held at the school Laajavuori a project day to promote German language and motivation for learning German. In cooperation with the Goethe-Institut , the German School of Helsinki and Project manager Jan Quilitzsch ( TietoTaito Ry) and the coordinator at our school, Sirpa Rönkä should be carried out a project that appeals to children and young people of today. Why were the focus of the project, new media, the interest of the students in music and idols, the initiative and activity by the students and the principle of "Younger students learn from older students, who came from the German School of Helsinki. Thus was also guaranteed that the language of the day (mainly) German was.
The original idea of the project manager was to organize this day only for the German classes 4, 5 and 6. But on Initiative by the German teacher Sirpa Rönkä was the whole school for it to be won to set their own priorities that day, all around the theme of "German" (German speaking countries, colors, geography, art, music, literature, etc.), mainly but were conducted in Finnish.
All German learners have, however dialed into five workshop groups:
• Fruit salad group led by students of the German School and Ms. Kleiser, director of language department of the Goethe-Institut Finland, has dealt with a German software tasks is processed through stations, and at the end of a fruit salad made (and eaten :-))
• The Art Group, led by students of the German school and a teacher at our school of recyclable material has designed the sets.
• The dance group led by a student of the German school and the school social worker has a rehearsed choreography.
• The music group led by students of the German school and a teacher from our school has practiced a song.
• The press group, headed by a media designer, a teacher from our school and I documented the entire project day.
The entire project day went to an event - the highlight of the eventful day - the appearance of a student of the German School, which won "Young Musicians" the first prize at and should occur before the entire school community. The soundtrack was this performance by the singing of German and Swiss children's songs and a traditional Finnish song.
The appearance of the new talent of the German school (and who knows, maybe soon Finland far), Silvius, has swept our students with his German pop music and totally thrilled. He was supported just by the music group, which was the background for him. Moreover, the sets and the choreography of art and dance group has contributed to the success of the performance.
The evaluations in the German classes the next day revealed that the pupils the project day have consistently with good to very good, like this again them carry out a project and would have always felt well looked after - even in German-speaking group management. This was because the students met the group leaders of the German School in part in the run-through videos. There, asked this before and told a little about yourself. This phase was the testing and introduction of new Teaching materials (mainly in the form of new media) in the teaching of German dar.
a special role taken by the press group (sixth graders). Their mission field was very diverse and extremely demanding. So there was the team from an interview-group (interviews were conducted by children and even filmed), (have photographed all school activities), photographers, designers (the information on station names, names of teachers and all students have been sought) and reporters (which draws in each class and each workshop notes on their observations - in German !!!). Thus came the end (unfortunately, due to the diversity of their work could only be made the next day) production, a wide-ranging and detailed documentation of the project day out, which gave a good insight into the activities of the day:
• the media designer is a professional Making Of - Video
• produced by the students themselves were the following Results: 1st
a video show (Power Point presentation with even filmed recordings)
second a photo show (Power Point presentation with homemade photos)
third A wall poster (two huge wall poster with all the classrooms where activities have taken place, filled with photos and names of all parties, wall poster now hangs in the foyer the school)
4th A report (in German (using a standard text) and Finnish (translated independently), and the report should be read in connection below)
I participated in the planning, preparation and implementation of the project, I have a tremendous amount of I learned and look forward to further their own projects that I can perform at a German school. The time involved is of course very high. Therefore, team work and cooperation in the college and with external cooperation partners, the A & O. And if you will, is all :-)
