Gymnasium Wandlitz has started a new geography course that will be taught
in English. Here is some information about it.
By Sabine Tausch
The course, which has existed since the beginning
of this school year, consists of eleven people including our two English and Geography
teachers Mrs. Dietze and Mr. Scharlau. Everything started with our headmaster
making official that the next 9th form could choose a bilingual course composed
of Geography and English as an optional subject. So, 9 people did.
The particularity is that (together with the English
subject) it is the only subject in which we have to speak English all the time
during the lessons and also we have two teachers. Most of the lessons are demanding
and sophisticated but we get a lot of information and there is no lesson without
laughing and fun. Our first topic was about the surface of the earth. We had to
learn a lot of vocabulary and their meanings like “divide,” “delta,”
“tributary,” and “plateau.”
The next was orientation on our earth, then climate
and history of our earth. During our holidays, everyone had to prepare an oral
presentation about a country. We could choose our own. It was hard but also fun
to find out interesting things about the country we chose and to listen to the
other one’s presentations. We are sure that this course will help us to
improve our English and provide a lot of interesting new geographical facts.
