Moin, Klaus!

Noblesville High School German
Department
"Durch meine Augen/Through
My Eyes"
This year students of German at
Noblesville High School and students of English at several
schools in Germany are interviewing their parents,grandparents,
and community members about their perceptions of various events
of the 20th Century that the students designate
as historically, culturally, or socially significant. NHS and
the German students exchange interviews via websites and analyze
differences in perceptions and the historical and cultural
context of these experiences which may account for these
differences.
German students will record their
interviews in German and American students in English, so the
language component will be primarily comprehension. Students may
also record their interviews in audio or video format . These
perceptions are unique in the world and are a fleeting resource
which our students can capture before they are lost forever.
BASICALLY YOUR STUDENTS INTERVIEW
OLDER PEOPLE ABOUT THEIR PERSPECTIVES ON THESE EVENTS AND THEN
SEND WHAT THEY LEARNED TO US (IN GERMAN). AND INTERVIEW COULD
DEAL WITH ONE TOPIC OR SEVERAL TOPICS. IT DOESN'T MATTER. WE
WILL ADD IT TO OUR WEBPAGES AND DO ANY TRANSLATIONS NECESSARY.
