Focus: evaluating
Grade:10
Subject: social science
Topic: politics
From Norwegian curriculum after year 10:
Social science:“gjere greie for korleis ulike politiske parti fremjar ulike verdiar og interesser, knyte dette til aktuelle samfunnsspørsmål og argumentere for eige syn”(Utdanningsdirektoratet, 2013).
English: "uttrykke og begrunne egen mening om forskjellige emne" (Utdanningsdirektoratet, 2013).
Specific objective, English: “Be able to justify one`s opinions when debating politics in English.”
Specific objective, social science:” Be able to evaluate the politics of a Norwegian political party.”
Into: In the into stage the students will do a newspaper activity. The students will work in groups of three and each get a small poster. Each group will be assigned different newspapers to look for headlines related to Norwegian politics. Some groups will get physical newpapers the teacher brought and some groups will be assigned electronic newpapers. The students will write down the headlines they find on their posters.By looking at current political news, the student activate their prior knowledge about Norwegian politics. After this the teacher will briefly discuss the most important headlines with the class to get an overview over how up to date the class is with Norwegian politics.
Through: In this activity students will work in pairs and be assigned a Norwegian political party by the teacher. Then, the students have to read about this political party`s politics on their website. Then, they will make a podcast where they evaluate the party's politics and debate what they agree with/ don`t agree with and why. The podcast will be made using: https://online-voice-recorder.com/. This is because it is a very simple audio recording tool to use where you simply save the file to your computer when your recording is done.
Beyond: In the beyond activity, the students will work in pairs again and create their own political parties. They have to think about and preferably write down the politics of their imagined political party and give their party a name. When they have a good idea of their party's politics, they will make a 5 minute video where they discuss their political ideas. They can use their phones or PC`s to record the videos. After this, all the videos will be presented in class and the students will have an election where they vote for the party they liked the most by writing down their favorite party on a note.
Assessment: The teacher will assess if the learning objectives are met by listening to the podcasts and looking at their videos.
Reflection: It might be easier to work individually when creating their own party because two students might have very different opinions concerning politics. But then again politicians have to compromise all the time and find a middle-ground. It can also be scary to make a video alone that will be presented to the class. So, working in pairs can make the beyond task less unnerving.
