Working with Diagrams & Statistics

This worksheet aims to raise students’ awareness of the mechanisms, economic dimensions, and psychological strategies of modern digital marketing in everyday life.

Content and Methods: The material focuses on the economic significance of social media marketing based on statistical data, as well as the analysis of specific digital posts. Methodologically, the worksheet relies on a combination of practical case studies—in which an exemplary social media post is deconstructed both textually and statistically—and theoretical insights into behavioral economic effects. In addition, the material encourages multi-perspective discussion through reflective writing assignments and the comparison of contrasting stakeholder perspectives. Finally, the discussion of complex issues is used to synthesize what has been learned into the formation of independent judgments.

Competencies:

Analytical and Deconstructive Competence: The ability to systematically examine media content and linguistic and statistical devices for their manipulative or promotional effects

Reflective and Critical Thinking Competence: The ability to critically examine one’s own consumer behavior and evaluate economic phenomena from different perspectives

Media and Economic Competence: Understanding of digital market mechanisms, psychological influence strategies such as the authority bias or the bandwagon effect, and their impact on the economy

Target Audience and Level: 9th/10th grade

The aim is to systematically explore Shakespeare’s dramatic texts. Learners will be enabled to objectively deconstruct language, structure and cultural contexts, and to critically reflect on the tension between the historical text and modern performance.

Content and Methods: The worksheet guides students through an analytical process ranging from grasping the content to envisioning a practical stage performance.

Methods:

• Structural classification: Locating scenes within the classical dramatic structure (e.g., exposition, peripeteia).
• Analysis of language and form: Examining blank verse vs. prose, imagery, and rhetorical devices (e.g., stichomythia).
• Thematic exploration: Linking scenes to universal motifs (power, fate, guilt).

Transfer: A choice between a performance critique (directorial concept/stage design) or a critical discussion on human archetypes. The primary texts for this exercise are sourced from Project Gutenberg.

Competencies:

• Literary analysis skills: Confident handling of genre-specific characteristics and technical terms used in drama analysis.
• Methodological skills: Application of categories from literary and theatre studies to decode the text.
• Transfer and creative skills: Projecting historical material onto modern staging concepts and contemporary social issues.
• Language awareness: Developing sensitivity to the impact of meter and figurative language.
