Welcome ...

... to the global blog of class 1u at Rosborg Gymnasium & HF, Vejle, Denmark.

1u have been preparing themselves for their partnership with the Leap School of Gugulethu / Cape Town, South Africa by studying South African history and literature as part of their English course.

So far the following materials have been studied:

- "A Short History of South Africa" (www.southafrica.info)
- Nadine Gordimer: "City Lovers" (1960)
- J.R.R. Jolobe: "The Making of a Servant" (1974)
- Euzhan Palcy (dir.) "A Dry White Season" (1989; film)
- Richard Rive: "The Man from the Board" (1983)
- Nelson Mandela: "Inaugural Address" (1994)
- Alex Perry: "McMandela? Protecting the Brand of a Legend" (2009)
- Blomkamp (dir.): "District 9" (2009; film)

More materials will be added to the list shortly.

The class are planning how to spend the month of March on this blog to introduce themselves and aspects of their daily lives to our South African partners. The intention is to post new content two or three times a week.
