Look out into the night, up at the stars, What do you see? More to the point, what don't you see? What might be there in that vast expanse of space? Ships flying from planet to planet? Inhabited worlds that are so many millions of miles away that we'll never reach them or know their inhabitants? It's fun to think about, to populate the vastness of space with characters, societies, locations and technologies that may actually be there, just beyond our reach. What if they came here, to Earth? What if they came here and no one noticed them because their technology is so far superior to ours that they could pass undetected through radar, satellites, telescopes, through all the military's advanced detection systems? And when they did come to observe Earth what if they took samples of the population to get a closer look? Who would they take? Tom Cruise? I enjoy thinking about questions like these, and that's why I wrote the Microchipz Adventures to explore the idea of an alien race and how three teenagers would handle being suddenly snatched from the Earth and ending up on a spaceship, far away from home.

Unterrichtsentwurf aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Ethik, Note: 1,0, Universität Koblenz-Landau (Philosophie), Veranstaltung: Einführung in die Didaktik der Ethik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese fachwissenschaftliche Arbeit zeigt einen Unterrichtsentwurf für eine Doppelstunde im Fach Ethik für die Jahrgangsstufe 11/2 zum Thema Pränatal- und Präimplantationsdiagnostik im moralischen Diskurs. Diese kann in die Unterrichtsreihe Bioethik und genetische Verbesserung des Menschen eingegliedert werden. Die geplante Unterrichtsstunde und die Schüler sind fiktiv und stützen sich nur auf gesammelte Erfahrungen in Praktika. Der Aufbau des Unterrichtsentwurfs richtet sich nach der Vorgabe der Dozentin, sowie nach der in Praktika gelernten Art und Weise einen Unterrichtsentwurf aufzubauen. Der Hauptteil dieser Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Thematik der geplanten Doppelstunde und mit dessen Lehr- und Lernzielen. Danach folgt die didaktische Analyse. In dieser wird die aktuelle Situation im Kurs beschrieben, das Thema analysiert und der Begründungszusammenhang geklärt. Danach folgt die Einordnung des Themas in den aktuellen Lehrplan. Schließlich wird die Unterrichtsstunde anhand eines Verlaufsplans skizziert. Das Thema des Schwangerschaftsabbruchs oder des Austragens eines behinderten Kindes ist von Bedeutung für die SchülerInnen, da einige später eine Familie gründen möchten. Die Unterrichtsstunde soll den SchülerInnen die Möglichkeit bieten, das Thema von verschiedenen Perspektiven zu beleuchten und dahingehend die Entscheidung, ein behindertes Kind abzu-treiben oder es auszutragen, zu tolerieren. Des Weiteren sollen die SchülerInnen für moralisch kritische Themen sensibilisiert werden und lernen, Gegebenheiten zu hinterfragen und diese in Bezug auf die Zukunft, weiterzudenken.

Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Koblenz-Landau (Anglistik), course: 20th Century Novels, language: English, abstract: Trauma seems to me being an essential topic to discuss in school as everybody sooner or later has to deal with loss or already dealt with it in the past. As every student can identify with this potential challenge, it is important for them to get to know different ways of dealing with trauma. Foer¿s story even reveals that coping with trauma is able to bring people from different races and ages together. Even if people¿s trauma is caused by different events there will be a connection between these people. Moreover, it would be possible to teach this topic interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary in ethics or religious education classes. As everyone could be affected by trauma I determined this topic for my planned lesson. The reason for choosing the subtopics namely ¿inventing¿ and ¿heavy boots¿ referring to Oskar; Grandfather Schell¿s ¿aphasiä and ¿the doorknobs¿ and finally, ¿supressing¿ and ¿the feeling of being needed¿ with regard to Grandmother Schell reveal concreteness for the main topic. I decided to teach the topic by group work to facilitate the exchange of experiences without the danger to be exposed in front of the class. I thought this is the best way, as the students can talk about how they perceived the character and his or her ability to deal with the trauma they have gone through. The team work is followed by a presentation and discussion of this work to ensure all students have reached the same level of knowledge. Moreover, it is important have the ability to emphasise with this character and change their perspectives or contribute their own experiences with loss to explain the others why somebody could show such behaviour. I will analyse the topic by a characterisation following by a psychoanalytic approach. For one it is important to get to know why people are behaving differently after experiencing loss and second, it is illuminating for the students to become aware that trauma can be responsible for the person concerned being left with an altered personality. The lesson I have planned relates to both, characterisation and psychoanalytic approaches. After the lesson the students should have general knowledge about trauma and its effects. Furthermore, it should be clear that trauma can only be overcome by going through two phases, which build up upon each other.
