How To Congratulate With Birthday

The Iceland-ABC for the Frankfurt Book Fair 2011 - Reading Competition 2011

Kennst du das Märchen »Sechse kommen durch die ganze Welt«? Es handelt von einem Soldaten, der fünf Freunde mit ungewöhnlichen Fähigkeiten trifft und mit ihrer Hilfe und seiner klugen List knöpft er einem größenwahnsinnigen König seinen gesamten Staatsschatz ab. Das ist mein Lieblingsmärchen von den Brüdern Grimm. Als ich vor vielen Jahren in der sechsten Klasse war, las ich es laut meiner Klasse vor. Ich hatte viele Stunden geübt and me at the last moment something very strange in his head: The passage in which the skills of the men are listed, I read in a droning tone. Stupid idea because of my German teacher there was therefore only a 2 - and my desire to represent the reading competition of the Association of German Book Trade my class was, the burst does not matter though, because the competition I live now. at in a completely different function.

two years I sat as a student in the jury of the contest, founded in 1959 reading. At our school, the jury was composed of a teacher, someone from the Parents Association und einem Schüler zusammen, und meine ehemalige Mathematiklehrerin erinnerte sich an mich als eine Schülerin, die gerne las und Geschichten schrieb. So fand ich mich in einem Musiksaal wieder und wählte gemeinsam mit zwei anderen den Sieger des Schulwettbewerbs aus. Jedes Jahr nehmen mehr als 600 000 Schüler aus der sechsten Jahrgangsstufe an dem Vorlesewettbewerb teil. Wir gehörten zu einer von 7 300 Schulen, die an dem größten, bundesweiten Wettbewerb für Schüler teilnahmen.

Warum organisiert der Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels so eine Veranstaltung? Ein Ziel ist es, dass die Kinder sich schon früh mit Literatur auseinandersetzen und sie für sich entdecken. Das Vorlesen des Lieblingsbuchs in der Class should be fun and give to friends new reading tips. In addition, the incentive is great to win the competition and the first class, and later the school, then the circle, the district and eventually perhaps even to represent the state. As the President (in this case, Christian Wulff) the patronage of the reading competition, the final event will take place with the national winners in the Bellevue Palace in Berlin.

Yesterday I sat in many years on the jury - but this time it went around the circle decision. Exciting! I was looking forward to see the differences between the classes and the school winners. Much has changed, however, not. Only the choice of reading was different and I enjoyed pre-built judging sheet. Fine - the optimization of the workflow has reached the market association.

Together with the co-founder of a reading club and a bookseller, we participated in the meeting room of an art nouveau villa Square, a cultural center houses a bookstore. In the white space conquered parents, teachers, relatives and friends quickly the chairs for themselves. For the twelve youths, there was a strict schedule. First, each participant placed in a few sentences from his book, said something about the author and filed the passage in the book context. Then had three minutes long gelesen werden. Nach sechs Schülern gab es eine kurze Pause für die Ohren und die Kinder stärkten sich mit Obst, Wasser oder bunten Fastnachtskreppeln mit Hütchen und Knutschmund. Die Nervosität jedoch war so groß, dass das vorbereitete Büffet unberührt blieb. Nachdem die letzten Kinder ihre Textstelle vorgetragen hatten, gab es eine längere Pause und die Jury zog sich zurück. Gemeinsam ordneten wir unsere Gedanken und Notizen, besprachen die Leistungen der Teilnehmer und zählten die Punkte zusammen.

Worauf kommt es an? Auf Versprecher? Schauspielerische Darbietungen? Einen korrekten Zeitplan? Nein, eher weniger. Die Schlüsselwörter sind schlicht und einfach Technik, Gestaltung und Verständnis. If the text is submitted safely and smoothly? If the pronunciation is clear the appropriate pace and sit the accents in the right place? If these conditions, there are many points for the reading technique. Much more challenging and imaginative, especially when it comes to text layout. If the creepy scene in the book provides skill and whisper the main characters in the dialogues in fact if it is required? Does the actor, however exaggerated and unnatural, there are point deductions! Understanding of the text refers to the book launch before reading, read aloud the selection of the location and timing. This criterion is of importance in the second part of the competition a big role in have the children recite a completely foreign text.

Some could read. Other children, however prayed down their lyrics by heart - we have seen in poor readers, however, self-confident students shone ... came to the foreign text. This broke some completely together, stuttered failed on long, unfamiliar words. This task failed the pure hard work and made the reader a narrative space that sensed the text with a look and feel and foresight to understand all the nuances, hints and moods. This return or progress observed, I found enormously exciting. One of the main student section from scary good. A blond boy who prepared the Text excitement sounded like he came straight from the soccer field could breathe at last the foreign text. However, it won one division increasing the dialogue with foresight and a thick fatty tumors Aunty, gleefully described how he himself was the surprise in his face.

In three weeks I'm back in the same place, perhaps sitting in the same place, with blank score sheets in hand, a red clipboard and a red pen. Next to me, the papers are piled with notes and gekrakelten the glass with water gurgling softly. And I will listen to them - the story of Christa Ludwig, Isabel Abedi, Kai Meyer and Uwe Timm. We'll see if I may again run over by a potter would, as I have experienced a massive scale, many years ago. But above all I'm going to sit there and listen to the children because I wonder how their voices, the book pages of her letters are dead to life.
