Schüler der 8. Klasse und des Englisch-Grundkurses der 12. Klasse bekamen die gleiche Aufgabe gestellt: Einen Text zu gegebenen Stichwörtern zu produzieren. Kann man herausfinden, welches Ergebnis zu welcher Jahrgangsstufe gehört?
Ich wäre meinen Lesern sehr verbunden, wenn sie die Ergebnisse bewerten würden:
- Sie können versuchen herauszufinden, zu welcher Jahrgangsstufe ein gegebener Text gehört
- Sie können den Texten aber auch unabhängig davon Noten geben
- Oder Sie nennen einfach die Nummern der drei oder vier besten Texte
Sobald zumindest ein paar Kommentare abgegeben wurden, werde ich die Zuordnung der Texte zu den Jahrgangsstufen an dieser Stelle veröffentlichen. Ich bin mir selbst nicht im Klaren, wie offensichtlich die Zuordnung ist (zu der natürlich auch andere, nicht-sprachliche Kriterien beitragen).
Die Aufgabe:
The day Sandra’s life changed.
Everything was fine when Sandra woke up on her 16th birthday.
Continue this story (in the past tense).
Use these words (you need not use them in this order):
cake – Rita – school – bicycle – astronaut – aquarium – airport
Write about 8 to 10 lines, or more.
(Time: 15 minutes)
Die Teilnehmer:
Schüler einer 8. Klasse zum Ende des Schuljahrs, Schüler eines Englisch-Grundkurses zum Ende von K12, Englisch jeweils seit der 5. Klasse; zwei verschiedene Englisch-Lehrkräfte im aktuellen Schuljahr, daher natürlich auch unterschiedliche Vorbereitung.
Die Schüler wussten nicht, dass ihre Texte miteinander verglichen werden sollten; nicht alle Schüler waren anwesend (wie das zum Schuljahresende oft ist).
Die Auswahl:
Von den Schülern der 8. Klasse habe ich 7 gute Texte gewählt; von den Grundkursschülern habe ich 7 gute und weniger gute gewählt, einen Querschnitt also. Die Texte sind unkorrigiert, deshalb vorsorglich rot; manche enthalten mehr Fehler, andere weniger. Einige Fehler sind offensichtlich beim Durchstreichen und Verbessern der eigenen Texte entstanden – wenn etwa der ursprüngliche Satzbau übersehen wurde, oder einfach nicht alles oder zuviel durchgestrichen wurde. Ich habe alles unkommentiert übernommen, auch wenn die Genesis mancher Fehler in dieser gebloggten Form leider nicht mehr erkennbar (und dadurch verständlich) ist.
Die Texte sind alphabetisch nach den ersten Wörtern sortiert.
Darum:
Mir ist aufgefallen, dass ich mit den Englischleistungen der Schüler in den Klassen 5-9 meist zufriedener bin als mit denen von Schülern ab der 11. Klasse. Verbessern sich viele Schüler wirklich so wenig? Warum ist das so? Oder täusche ich mich? Werden einfach nicht miteinander vergleichbare Fähigkeiten geübt?
Mit dem Experiment, zwei Schülergruppen aus der 8. Klasse und der Kollegstufe die gleiche Aufgabe zu stellen, wollte ich erst mal vergleichbares Material bekommen. Wissenschaftlich ist das natürlich nicht haltbar: Zu wenig Probanden, Versuchsanordnung zu wenig kontrolliert. Aber einen Einblick sollte es doch geben.
Text 1:
After school Sandra went home to prepare her birthday party. All her friends came and ate her birthday day which she has made for this day. Rita her best friend had a special present for her. She gave her a ticket to fly to the moon with another person she wanted. Sandra said Rita had to fly with her because she is her best friend and the present was from her. Rita said: Yes. After the party on the next day the two friends took their bicycles and rode after school with the tickets to the airport. Of course the air port was the place where moon-planes started and landed. One hour later they were in the plane on their flight to the moon. The flight took five hours and then Sandra and Rita were on the moon. On the moon they searched for any life there and after a few minutes searching they found life. They found Steve, an alien which thought it was an astronaut from the earth. The friends couldnt believe their ears but Steve told them he was a real human from the earth. He did experiments for the earth, he told them. I look if fishes can live on the moon in an aquarium, He said. The friends couldnt understand this because they couldnt see any aquariums and so they fly back to the earth with a beautiful rembering on the moon. No friends believed in this story and said they were crazy.

Everything was fine when Sandra woke up on her 16th birthday but then she had to realize that she had slept too long and was late.
She wondered where her parents were, because she only found her Birthday cake.
She took the cake and rode to School on her bicycle.
At school her best friend Rita wasnt there, too. Now Sandra was worried, because Rita wasnt very clever and she was frightened that she could have been kidnapped, because of her rich parents.
On her way home she suddenly heard a strange sound and felt as if she had to follow it.
The next thing she saw was a huge aquarium with many unusual, strange and expensive looking fishes and other animals, Sandra has never seen.

Finally she could go out with them; they were all older than she was. Still tired she went to the bathroom and had a short shower. When she got dressed her Mum came to her and wished a happy birthday, she should come downstairs to have breakfast. Sandra lived alone with her Mum Rita outside of Guildford near London and she had to get the bus to school every morning. She didnt know who her father was.
When Sandra went downstairs she saw that her Mum made a beautiful chocolate cake for her birthday, her favourite. She was feeling really good while she sat there talking with her Mum. They sat there really long and suddenly Sandra realized she was too late to get the bus. But her Mum had to work so she couldnt give her a lift. Sandra jumped up the stairs to her room and took her schoolbag out of her wardrobe and ran out of the house to her bike.
After a few minutes she almost fell of her bicycle. She had driven over a glass bottle and now had a puncture. Perfect, she thought, now Ill be too late to school.
After school her Mum was standing outside of the school with a man Sandra didnt know. When she went to them he smiled and gave her a hug. Sandra was really surprised. But then her Mum told her who he was: he was his father, an astronaut and he had come today to her birthday. He had to work in the USA for years and finally he was back.

At 9 oclock, Sandras friend Rita arrived. She wanted to go to the school with her friend.
When they had ridden their bikes for 10 minutes, suddenly an astronaut jumped on the street and forced them to stop.
He said that he was the last astronaut who had survived an attack by not human creatures.
The only thing he could save was his fish, Sayon. He also said that he had heard a scream at the space centre near the airport and the he knew that aliens wanted to invade the world. So he had run away and he had hidden this place until he had seen the two girls.
Sandra was shocked, but Rita knew that this man was crazy.
So she said that they would try to save other lives.
The astronaut said that they were nice girls and run space centre.
Rita told Sandra not to worry. She said that she knew that this man is crazy and lived near the space centre.
After this they went to school, where Sandras friends had organized a birthday-party for her.
When Sandra came home after school, she saw a green creature sitting on a bank in the park. She was shocked. – was the astronaut right?
From this day she never believed in people say that there are no other creatures in the space.
