Articles

We are now nearly ready with our articles . Over the next couple of days, 5-6 articles about everyday life at Odsherreds Gymnasium should appear on our website, www.odsherreds-gym.dk.
The 21 students of the 1st year class, 1.b, have written an article each as a Danish essay, and of these the best have been elected and translated into English.
We hope you will enjoy reading them.

At our school, teaching stops - and the exams start - Thursday next week, so we will not be able to do any more work this year. However, as we start the next year earlier than you in Italy and Spain, we can hopefully give you feedback on your articles then, so you will be able to see it when your school year starts.

The work presented on this homepage is financially supported by the EU commission's Lifelong Learning programme.

Plans for the rest of the school year

News from Odsherreds Gymnasium:
Today the teachers involved in the project met with the 4 student representatives to make a plan for the rest of this school year.
We agreed that, as a part of their written assignments, the students of the 2 classes will write articles for their Danish classes. This work will be finished in about a month, and then the student respresentatives will select the articles that are to be published on our webpage.
These articles will be translated into English in the English classes, and the 2nd year class will write resumés in Spanish.
We hope to meet the deadline in mid-May for exchanging opinions of the articles written by our 3 schools.
