German lesson 6A 15-year-old students
It was a teacher-fronted lesson in which students did not participate
much and ICT activities were not included. It was clearly structured
in three parts:
a. How to make a good presentation
b. The concept of city through poems by Theodor Storm,
georg heym, Paul Boldt, Alfred Wolfenstein, Rainer Maria
Rilke and Josef Weinheber
c. Our presentation of our country and our cities: students
were especially interested in our culture and education
system.
Italian lesson 7ABC 17-year-old students
The teacher used Italian and German to give instructions of the
activities that had to be carried out. Most of the students participated
in Italian. The main activity was a role-play to organize a dinner.
Students worked in pairs and in groups and read out their
production. ICT resources were not used.
Holocaust education (Morah)
Maria Lucchi, the Italian and Social science teacher explained to us
all the activities they yearly plan for the March of Remembrance and
Hope in the optional subject she teaches.
Students who choose this subject devote
two hours a week one semester to look
into the school archives during the II
World War and analyse the effects of
the war and the role of Austria in it. The
fact that the students can analyse the
real evidences to get to a conclusion
about the Austrian participation in the
war and the school implication in it
fosters
the development of their historical

understanding and habits of thinking
historically. It was really exciting and unexpected for me to learn
how the school was nationalized during the Nazi era and Jewish
pupils were expelled.
