This course has been a great experience since the first day.

I doubt there is another elective where students get the possibility to try their skills with puppet making, drama classes, music lessons and digital storytelling like we have done. Working so intensely on a production and being proud of your result is the type of learning experiences you can draw use of all your life.

It worked great that the course is divided in two different part, the more theoretical experimental part (and I really thought the experimental part was a lot of fun) and the festival where all our energy was used on creating a great show for kids. It wouldn’t have been the same experience had there not been kids coming to our show. Would have been cool though if you could had have some kids to practice on throughout the process.

I really loved the little digital assignments we got in the beginning of the course, they were so much fun!
and the pre assignment as well. would have been cool to work even more with that. Mael's lectures were so interesting and the literature good as well. Would have been cool to go on a H.C Andersens street walk as we did in "fotællerværksted".

All in all I'm so happy I chose this elective because it has given me the opportunity to work with not only what I already had a set of skills for (digital and arts and craft), but also the subjects where I would never do a full elective in it (music and drama) because I would be too insecure. Thank you.

Telling our story in different ways : The Wolf and the seven goats.

we made a storytelling box. put on a hat and told the story in four different languages.

When we performed our story with the storytelling box, there came a certain energi and engangement from the kids. It almost had a magical effect. unfortunately the box didn't work as well as intended. maybe the next time we should use thicker paper or cardboard behind the picture to make a stronger structure.

using strong facial expressions was also a hit.

the kids liked to hear the story again and again.

Skovager is teaching the kids how to bargin with the adults. they are taught that not everyone will say yes or no to them and that they can negotiate with the adults. The adults does not have that " united front " that you sometimes meet in other places or with ones parents. They believe this teaches the kids how to make it in the postmodernist society they will grow up in.

Skovager has a very " flat" heirarchy where all the pædagog'er is working on the same level. (of course they also have a institutional leader) but between the pædagogs itself there is no age or experience heirarchy which allow them to swap between being a subordinate and a leader. They have this green ribbon, this is the person with the overview of the daily situation. " the green" is in charge of making sure there's grown ups everywhere in the kindergarden and can then help the kids navigate which adult will have the best time to help them, starting a game, change a diaper etc. "the Green" is not chosen for the day, they swap between all of the adults many times a day. This however would not work if there was a typical hieracy in the kindergaden.

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun

The frumious Bandersnatch!”

Fox was here first, and his brother was the wolf. Fox said, people will live forever. If they die they will not die for long. Wolf said, no, people will die, people must die, all things that live must die, or they will spread and cover the world, and eat all the salmon and the caribou and the buffalo, eat all the squash and all the corn. Now one day Wolf died, and he said to the fox, quick, bring me back to life. And Fox said, No, the dead must stay dead. You convinced me. And he wept as he said this. But he said it, and it was final. Now Wolf rules the world of the dead and Fox lives always under the sun and the moon, and he still mourns his brother.

E.2 The girl with no name. My name story

# data[].attributes.body
In 1990 a girl was born. She was the third child and the second daughter of a man and a woman who loved each other very much although they rarely agreed on anything.

It was decided before her birth that Tine should be her name. However when she was brought to the mother in the hospital the mother knew the girl did not wish to be called Tine. It was an ugly name the girl thought, she wanted a longer and prettier name.

So the girl came to have no name at all. The family called her by a sound. But soon they learned that a child must have a name. And as this wasn't America where you can get away with calling your baby almost anything they had the mother and father had to find a name they both liked. This was an impossible task. They would discuss it over and over again but no name was good enough for the girl. One day the mother said " now you go ahead and write a list of girls names and I will write one too. The first name we both have on the list will be her name. No exceptions." The parents wrote their list and took a good time to do it cause they didn't want to risk having put a name on the list that they weren't entirely sure about.

Afterwards they made the girls aunt read the list and find which names were on both. The auntie said " you both have written Trine on your list.. But if you want my opinion the child will like it no more than she liked Tine. You best find another name." " no said the mother and father , we will never agree on a name we have tried for months and months."

And so the it was decided that the child should be called Trine although she most certainly did not like the name. Unfortunately as you might know babies do have a hard time communicating with adults.

But the night before the christening the mother could not help herself. She had to see what other names the father had written down on his list. So in the dead of night she found the list and read it by candlelight. There were not many names she liked, and Trine was indeed the only one she herself had written of her list. But when she came to the final name her heart stopped. She ran to the bedroom and woke her snoring husband " you said you didn't like that name! I asked you when we had her sister. I begged for that name and you said it was an ugly name!" "Well now I liked it." " if I had known you would have written that name I would have written it too." And that is how the girl with no name ended up with a name despite having two parents who to this day cannot agree on anything.
