Here are some new information about our activities in the “seminarfach”. Today I got a special task about finding out something about a big problem in Africa –> MALARIA. The others were talking about their “Facharbeit” and got devided in groups in which they could talk about their experiences by writing the texts and finding out new information. I can imagine that it can be very helpful to have the oppurtunity to talk to someone who is working on a similar topic.

Hey everyone! Again a week has passed and I can tell you about our activities here at school. Today we talked about the “Regenbogennation”- article which we were supposed to read until today. Then we got devided in groups and had to create a timeline of all the mentioned events in the text. Then we were supposed to comment on two of our schoolmates. After that I still had some time left and I wrote this small summary of our course today. So if you want just click around again next week=) .

Task 17 (15.04.)
It is quite interesting that a person who obtained the nobel prize for peace, is said to be a advocate for the colonialism in Africa. Albert Schweitzer had spent many years in Africa, working in his hospital and treating African people to cure their sicknesses. One should suppose that he would be against the colonial powers because he pleaded much for them. Funnily enough this was not the case. In Schweitzer’s opinion the African people were small children or little brothers which had to be introduced to the European culture and which had to learn many things before they could be seen as a equal person. Obviously he didn’t see a contradiction in this. Maybe he thought it was his due to help the colonialists to form the Africans after the imagination of the Europeans, which would also be a bit strange because I always thought he would be an intelligent person, who knows that the color of the skin doesn’t say anything about the person…
A sentence by Albert Schweitzer
„Ich bin Leben, das leben will, inmitten von Leben, das leben will.“
in English:
” I am life, which wants to live, amongst of life, which wants to live.”

Hello everybody! I hope you enjoyed the last week. This time we first discussed about a new article in our “Spiegel Afrika”. Then we had some time for working with our blogs We could improve it and also renew some things. I think this is quite good as all this work doesn’t have to be done at home cause it can be very time-consuming.

Moin! This is the working diary of this week. In our course we did some really absorbing things. We first talked about the article in our “Spiegel Afrika” (p.33-46). We discussed which working methods are useful and what different kinds of those methods exist. Afterwards we were supposed to write an article about a very old ship which was built in the year 1913 in Papenburg, which offered some really interesing facts…

Task 16 (08.04.)
Something interesting about an old ship now called “Liemba”…
First I would like to give you an article in which some main things are already said, for that you now about what is everything in this article.
source:http://www.papenburg-tourismus.de/seiten/zielgruppe_rund_um_die_meyer_werft/graf_goetzen_seite.php
I found this article and I thought it would be quite interesting and a good idea to start with this topic. As you may already have read the ship was built in 1913 and originally named after a German explorer called “Goetzen”. Emperor William II actually ordered it to support his soldiers in the German colonies of Africa. The ship was packed in about 5000 boxes and got transported to lake tanganjika by black people. The ship has a lenght of 67, a wide of meters and a weight of 800 tons. The ship is in use since around 1914. The motor has a capacity of 500 hp (em??? How many hp does a car have again? It’s not a really big difference, is it?). The ship is now called “M.S. Liemba”. The route still leads from Kigoma to Sambia. It even sank one time but was snugged again. As you can see this ship has a really interesting history, so if you got interested search for more information. It was all too much which the websites gave concerning information so that I couldn’t write about all parts of it’s history.

Good to have you back! Feel heartly welcome to a new workig diary. Today was he first period after the easter vacation. First Mr. Donath told us something about our “Facharbeit”. We searched some dates when it would be possible to start and when we would have to be ready. Further, we were supposed to write how far we already got with it. When we had time, we could go to Mr. Donath and ask him questions concerning our problems by writing. So we actually did a lot.
That was that! Till next week!

Task 15 (01.04)
The state of my “Facharbeit”…
I already knew about what I will write before the easter vacation so I started to search for material for my “Facharbeit” in the holidays. I read some texts and I already made a rough structure what my “Facharbeit” could include and how it could look like when it is ready. I’m still not sure whether I should write it now but I will go on search new texts on the web and look around in the library for books that could help me by writing texts and to research special information. I really found some interesting things and I think I will go on enjoying working on it.
To see how my “facharbeit” will eventually deal with, you can see the possible contents of it. Just click on the link.
