School club activities

The Black Death
Croatia - paıntıng club
The Croatian Painting Club created picture frames on the theme of the Black Death, the Peasant Revolt and the frame of the project. The students made art works on the theme of the Black Death using different art techniques. The students made beautiful works that we exhibited in the school lobby, and we used the picture frames during our mobility in Croatia.
Spain - poetry club
Our poetry club is already working on a piece of work written by Josep Aladern, originally from our town, Alcover. The work is named “Mossegada de monstre”, “A monster’s bite”. It’s a book in which the author reports the working conditions and consequences of the industrial revolution. In fact, it compares industries to an evil iron monster. It’s a book but the language teachers and students are going to be creating poetries and works connected to poetry in different classes. Moreover, the students will have the opportunity to visit Ca Cosme, where he lived.
Germany - book club
The German book club studied the English classics. They researched the most famous authors of that period and their most famous works. After that, the students found some books in the school library and read some excerpts and commented on what they had read.

Industrial Revolution
Croatia - book club
Our Book club is studying the literary work of author Đuro Sudeta, Mor.
We chose that work because the action takes place at the beginning of the 20th century, a major modernization of production and agrarian reform took place at that time. The story tells about unhappy love and the connection between human and nature.
Our Erasmus team is making digital and hand-drawn comics about that story.

In our poetry club, the students deal with poetry during and about the Industrial Revolution. We study poets like William Blake and William Wordsworth. We read the poems to each other and try to create our own simple poems.In our poetry club, the students deal with poetry during and about the Industrial Revolution.

Spain - painting club
Our painting club is working on Industrial Revolution. In English language class, we focused on Dickens and some of his works such as Oliver Twist and Hard Times in order to introduce the topic. Once they had general ideas, older students focused on famous paintings and analysed them (see the picture: Students explaining The Munitions, by Alexander Stanhope Forbes).
Apart from that, younger students draw and coloured steam engine wheels and decorated photos that depict life during the Industrial Revolution.

Renaissance
Croatia - painting club
Our Erasmus team reproduced paintings by famous painters, using different techniques. The students got to know these Renaissance painters and their works:
Michelangelo Buonarroti - The Creation of Adam
Leonardo da Vinci - Mona Lisa
Raphael - Little Angles
So that everyone could see the works of our club, we made an exhibition in our Erasmus corner.
Germany - book club
Renaissance literature produced one of the most brilliant ideas and books of mankind. Its huge success is explained by the speciality of the historical period (14th-16th centuries in Italy and late 15th-16th centuries in other European countries). In our book club the students deal with the most important Renaissance writers like Dante Alighieri, Giovanni Boccaccio, Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch), François Rabelais, Miguel de Cervantes, William Shakespeare and John Milton.
