London – en by til alle tider (London – a City in Times) er en dokumentarudsendelse i to dele - en del på hver sin DVD. Hver del har en varighed på 50 min. Engelsk tale med danske undertekster. Del 1 er opdelt i 5 mindre dele (introduction + part 1 -4) Del 2 er opdelt i 6 mindre dele (introduction + part 5 -9) London – en by til alle tider – del 1 og 2 er en historisk dokumentar, som fortæller historien om byens opståen og udvikling gennem de sidste 2000 år, der ligger til grund for det moderne London i dag. Historien fortælles kronologisk og tager os fra ca. 40 e.Kr. frem til nutiden.

Tv-udsendelserne indeholder drama rekonstruktioner, som viser vigtige begivenheder eller personer (genskabelse af historiske miljøer), originale artefakter, tegninger, fotos, nyhedsklip, optagelser fra nutidens London m.m. samt kommentarer fra en række eksperter.

London – en by til alle tider – del 1 og 2 kan i engelskundervisningen give eleverne indblik i Londons historie og udvikling samt forståelse for den moderne storby, den er i dag.

Derudover er også to kopi-ark (Copy Sheet 1 + 2), som er elevmateriale, der kan bruges direkte i undervisningen.

Alle billeder i denne pædagogiske vejledning er fra tv-udsendelserne.

Idéer til undervisningen Idéerne er tænkt som inspiration til engelskundervisningen og består af en række forslag til aktiviteter, forløb og projekter. Ideerne er sat ind i et skema, der er opdelt efter tre faser i undervisningen: Before watching, While watching & After watching.

Before watching

London Exhibition

Create a ‘London Exhibition’ in the class room with maps, posters, flags, student productions, souvenirs etc. and let the students take part in bringing London/UK items along to the class.

Brainstorm

What do you know about London?

EX: Role brainstorm (Cooperative Learning Structure)

Make mind maps

Write down keywords

Know now – know then

The students divide a piece of paper down the middle to create two columns.

In the column to the left, the students write what they know now.

The second column is used after working with London where the students write what they know then.

Exchange knowledge

In pairs the students tell each of what they know about London

Word storm

Brainstorm for central words to do with London e.g. underground, the tube, city, population, urban, densely populated, traffic, crowed, air pollution, capitol city, finance industry, multi-cultural….

Make a glossary with central words

London Picture Posters

Make picture posters with photos and illustrations from London e.g. famous sites such as Tower of London, London Bridge, London Eye, Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral….

Make picture posters with different themes e.g. people, buildings, transport…..

www.cfufilmogtv.dk

While watching

Introduction + 9 parts to the documentary

Watch each part separately and choose an activity (look below)

Cut out the notes from: Skematisk oversigt over tv-udsendelsernes historiske indhold (page 2 – 6) – one note for each part - give the students a copy each before watching each part to give them an idea to what they are going to watch.

First impression of London

Watch the introduction (c. 2 min.)

Which impression do you get of London?

Brainstorm on words to describe the first impression.

In pairs the students tell each other their first impression.

Watch and listen

-with focus on visuals

The students sit in pairs: student A and student B. Each student has to focus on a different aspect of the programme and write down keywords.

Student A: focus on the drama-reconstructions of the historical events. Does it seem realistic? Does it help the understanding of the events? Does it help to visualise the way of living in the past? Do you feel you get involved in the events?

Student B: focus on the experts when they talk.

How do they pronounce certain words? How do they emphasise words and sentences? What hand movements or gestures do the use? Do they seem to know what they talk about? Are they believable? Their use of the English language: vocabulary, formality, slang, variation, specific…?

After watching the part the students, in turns and using their keywords, explain to each other what they have observed and focused on.

Watch and listen

-with focus on words

Each student gets a number from 1-4 (student 1 – 4). Each student has to focus on different words used in the programme and write down the words they hear on post-it slips – one word / phrase for each post-it slip.

Student 1: focus on words to do with types of buildings and structures (nouns) e.g. roads, timber frame houses, forts, towers, churches, bridges, railways, tunnels, domes, skyscrapers...

Student 2: focus on descriptive words (adjectives/descriptive phrases) e.g. smelly, bustling, crowded, dirty, foul, rich, poor, a great big fire…

Student 3: focus on words to do with professions/kinds of jobs e.g. soldiers, rebel leaders, tradesmen, farmers, rulers, engineers, sailors, poets, architects, town planners, kings….

Student 4: focus on words to do with cultures and social belonging e.g. Romans, Celts, Anglo-Saxons, Normans, puritans, immigrants, workers, unemployed, prostitutes, criminals, poor, rich…

Put the students into groups of 4 with a representative from each number (1 +2 + 3+ 4):

The students put their post-it slips in the middle of the group to let everybody see.

In turns, the students pick up one or more post-it slips. On the basis of the word(s) the student tells the others in the group what they know due to what they have seen and heard in the programme.

EX: ‘timber frame houses’ -> There were lots of timber frame houses in London in the Middle Ages.

Re-Tell Watch a part – use the words from above – let the students in turns re-tell what they have seen.




www.cfufilmogtv.dk

Words on display Use the words from above, which the students have collected, and let the students write the words on posters (4 posters – one for each category) to hang up in the class.

In pairs: Let the students in turns point to a word and explain what the word means.

EX: Timber frame house -> a house build with a wooden frame which you can see on the out side…

Modern London Focus on the clips of modern London – which impression does it give of the city?

Freeze a frame Choose a screen picture and freeze it e.g. a panorama of London.

‘Empty the picture for words’ and write them down.
