New Unit of Inquiry: A World of Media

For a new unit of inquiry, the ISN middle school is doing a world of media. In English class we are learning about different forms of media such as the newspaper, and how they are used. We also looked at English newspapers.

Our previous unit of inquiry was cultures and traditions, which had to do with international cultures and traditions. The new unit of inquiry also focuses on things around the world. MS1 will do a project about this new unit of inquiry where we have to choose five questions about media, and write a research essay about one of them. We hope to learn a lot from this new unit of inquiry.

Which soccer-team do you like the most?

We, Delia Appelt and Sarah Wagner, voted in the English class 2 which soccer team has the most fans. We found out that the most people are not interested in soccer at all. But then with 3 votes Bayern München and two votes for Eintracht Frankfurt and Werder Bremen. Some of the people that like a soccer-team don’t even play themselves. This shows that some people are only fans of a soccer-team because they win or of some other reason.

We personally think that it doesn’t matter which soccer team you like the most, which soccer team plays the best or if you are even interested in soccer. And we are happy that the other students think that too.

Klinsmann, new bayern münchen manager

After a long discussion it is now clear. Klinsmann is the new manager of Bayern München. He will have the new job at the 1th July 2008. Now I want to ask if everybody thinks that it is good that Klinsmann will be the new manager of Bayern München? I did a small survey and asked some people from the middle school.

Results:

Good: Bad:

5 people 4 people

So most of the people think that it is good that Klinsmann will be the new manager of Bayern München.

Field Trip Day!

The Middle School will have a field trip next Wednesday to Heidelberg. We are planning a field trip to the Heidelberger art society’s film workshop. There will also be a field trip to the Heidelberger University. There we will learn some physics. The Ruprecht Karl University was built in 13.October 1386 with a church service. Later the university got bigger and bigger. Now it has 400 professors and over 25.562 students!
The whole MS is looking forward to it!
