When you are a student at a Danish gymnasium (i.e high school) you can choose between several study areas. At Rosborg Gymnasium there are humanities-modern, social scientific and scientific areas. Every class has some compulsory subjects, and then some special subjects that come with the area. We also choose some creative subjects and one language besides English.
It is very good that we can put together our own study areas. In that way we have the possibility to get the subjects we want.
The U-class is a social scientific class. Our main subjects are social studies, English and maths. We have more lessons in our main subjects. In the lessons we work in different ways which makes for variety in the education. It is among other things pair work, group work in both self-elected groups and in groups where the teacher has chosen the groups. The group’s work often ends in a presentation of its product. The product can be a little movie, a PowerPoint-presentation or a written assignment.
The reason why we use these creative methods is to keep focus so it won’t become boring and monotonous.
The subjects are very important, but the social life on our school also means a lot for the students - as you can from some of the other blog entries here.
