Ingo Blechschmidt, 10C 8 8. HAUSAUFGABE 6 3. Dons Mutter ist Professorin. Sie lehrt an der Universität in Austin. Sein Vater arbeitet als Lehrer. Don’s mother is a professor. She teaches at the university at Austin. His father works as a teacher. 4. Als Don gestern im Internet gesurft hat, hat er eine sehr interessante Information über das deutsche Schulsystem gefunden, die er für die morgige Deutschstunde brauchen kann. When Don was surfin’ the Net yesterday, he found a very interesting information he can use for the German lesson tomorrow about the German school system. 8 8. Hausaufgabe 8.1 Buch Seite 17 a) Write down your impressions of the School Board. Then compare your ideas with what others in your class have written. I think, even if the School Board is important for Britain’s school system, it’s unfair against the students who have to „defend“ themselves against many officers. But it’s a simple central-organized system which seems to have success. b) A closer look at the text: • 1. What are the most important moments in the above extracts? Why? Paul’s saying „I’m sort of organized now. Earning and learning. Hey, just thought of that, sounds good.“ is very important, because at this point Paul’s philosophy of live becomes clear: He doesn’t plan, he simply does nothing. • 2. In informal English people sometimes leave out certain words at the beginning of a sentence if the meaning is clear without them. What examples can you find in the truancy officer’s speech? What are the „missing“ words? – You [are] alone all day? – [full sentence] Sewing. – [full sentence] Any math? – [full sentence] School math. – [full sentence] Day before yesterday? – You [are] trying to be smart? – [full sentence] Geography.
Ingo Blechschmidt, 10C 9 9. HAUSAUFGABE 7 – [full sentence] Regina. – You’re breaking the law, [do] you understand? – [full sentence] Not fiction! – What textbooks [are] you[AWAY: ’re] reading? – [full sentence] Social studies, history, written expression. – [Are] those the books [you spoke of]? – [full sentence] „The Chevy Owner’s Manual“ and „The Reader’s Digest Guide to Sewing“. • 3. Why does Paul use phrases like „I guess“, „I mean“, „I bet“, „on the whole I think“, „kinda“, „sort of“ when the School Board interviews him? Those phrases are part of his philosphy of live: Simply do nothing and wait what happens. By speaking informal, he demonstrates his disinterest. • 4. Say in a few words what makes Paul’s case strong and what makes it weak. Paul’s abilities are only of practical nature, he doesn’t know theory much. He doesn’t even want to know theory. • 5. How do you think the chairman of the Board will vote? Why? How would you vote? Why? I think the chairman will vote against Paul, because even he’s talented in the practical sector, he has to know theory and do his homework. I would vote against Paul, too, because of the same reasons stated in the last sentence. 9 9. Hausaufgabe 9.1 School In German schools, you learn the theory of things, unlike, for example in countries which weren’t as bad as we in PISA test’s ranking. In Germany, you learn how things work, but not how to use them. A good example for this assumptions is the physical education: You learn thermodynamics and at the beginning of your education, but such basic things like electricity, the foundationstone of our society, are taught in the 10th class. But, on the other hand, you can’t get experience from school, because otherwise, life would be meaningless. And you need theory to understand the practical things, like it’s stated in the popular drama „Die Physiker“: „Don’t use things you don’t understand.“ If you had no knowledge about theory, you could use many things. But if problems arise, you have no idea how to fix them, for example in the computer sector: You do know how to write a
