During The 2nd International Storyline Conference in Elsinore the students of Class 8.c (14-15 years old) from Rosenlundskolen, Denmark, were working at the conference with their Storyline “The Negotiation Policy in occupied Denmark during the 2nd World War”, written by their teacher Simon Fougt. The pupils’ characters are met with the historical German demands to the Danish government and are to analyse them and decide what to do. The objective of the Storyline is to give the pupils a deeper understanding of the situation – being occupied with a limited freedom – NOT to teach them the content – what the Danish government actually did.
Simon Fougt is working with the Storyline approach with older pupils, especially in history – and society, teaching in the public school in Denmark.
