Mauer im Kopf

Mauer im Kopf:

am 9. November 1989 ist die Mauer gefallen. Fast 30 Jahre spaeter haben viele Leute in Deutschland 

immer noch eine sogenannte "Mauer im Kopf". Sie glauben, obwohl die Mauer nicht mehr zwischen 

Ost- und Westdeutschland steht, und die zwei Laender sind wieder eins, trotzdem gibt es grosse 

Unterschiede zwischen den Leuten im Osten und im Westen. 

Heute lesen wir ueber die Mauer im Kopf. Und dann erfahren wir Kunst von der Berliner Mauer 

(East Side Gallery). Danach werden wir Kunst machen!

Anfang: Beantworte die Fragen

1. Was ist der Zweck (purpose) einer Mauer? 

2.  Wie funkioniert eine Mauer? 

3.  Welche Mauern siehst du in Bothell oder in der Schule? 

4.  Was teilen die Mauern in der Welt?

I. Wir lesen den ersten Artikel:  Breaking Down the Wall in the Head

1. What are some of the negative perceptions of people from the former East and West?

II. Wir lesen den zweiten Artikel:  East Germans are still different

1. Zeichne (draw) ein Beispiel von einem typischen "Ossi" und einem typischen "Wessi".

III. Wir erfahren Kunst von der Berliner Mauer:  Eastside Gallery

The Eastside Gallery of the Berlin Wall was preserved because of its art and cultural expression. Find three that speak to you and answer the following questions:

1. Was gefaellt dir an dem Bild? __________ gefaellt mir / ___________ gefallen mir

2. Was bedeutet das Bild? Was meinst du?

IV. Wir zeichnen!!  Das Thema: Mauer im Kopf

Now that you have learned about the things separating the former East and West Germany, now think about what is holding you back. Or what is holding back society? You get to draw / paint / create your expression of the wall in your head. 

A	B	C	D
I have created a thoughtful and creative expression of the wall in my head or a "figurative wall" in society. I have created something neat, attractive, and interesting regardless of my art prowess. I have written a half page in German describing the meaning behind the art. My German is not perfect but I have done my best and used vocabulary from the Berlin Wall / Goodbye Lenin unit	I have delivered a creative expression of the wall in my head or a "figurative wall" in society. I have created something neat, attractive, and interesting  even if I'm not the best artist. I have written a half page in English and German describing the meaning behind the art. My German is not perfect but I have done my best.	I have created something that might be described artistic if more thought and time was put into it. My "art" is done on lined paper in pencil that's ripped out from my comp book...or in other words, not so inspiring. I have written a small paragraph in English, or in German but I am not able to demonstrate my writing skills in German.	I am missing major components of the project.
