How to present Norway?
One of the things that we have planned for our trip to South Carolina is high school visits. On Tuesday we are going to Dreher High School which is a public high school, and on Thursday we will visit Hammond High School which is a private school (see links to the schools on this site). Dreher High School is focusing on Norway this year (!!!) and has asked us to share a bit about our country and culture with their students. And so I am working on a presentation for them - but what would they find interesting to know? I could of course present all the stereotypical things with the fjords and the trolls, but is that really valuable knowledge?
So, I struggle a bit to find out what to present to these students. Usually I teach my own students something that has to do with the English speaking world, but this time I am going to teach American youth about Norway, which will absolutely be a challenge for me. I have to admit that I am somewhat nervous about this, but at the same time I'm sure it will be a really cool experience. I wonder if the American students are very different from my own students?

This is looking good Hanne. Way to go!
SvarSlettSome nitpicks:
The font is somewhat disturbing, but what do i know.
To answer your question I'll venture at guess that the american students are pretty much the same as norwegian students.
Yes, I was wondering about the font... I think I will change it :) I am very new at this kind of thing så it is both exciting and a bit scary:)
SvarSlettI think you're doing great!
SvarSlettWhat to teach americans about Norway? Hmm.
Norwegian humour? You can show them the "hurra Torpedo" clip from youtube. The Bonnie Tyler song, I don't remember the name.
