Creatively dealt with old ballads

Who does not know at least a small part of the ballads that had to be learned in school: "Who rides so late through night and wind...", "Walle, Walle, manche Strecke, das zum Zwecke Wasser fließe..." or "Und noch 20 Minuten bis Buffalo...".

The class 7IGR approached the topic of ballads in a creative way. Within the framework of a complex performance, ballads of "old masters" such as Goethe, Schiller or Fontane were dealt with. In addition to the opportunity to design a newspaper page, there were many who chose to create a comic strip. In small pictures with speech and thought bubbles, the story of the ballad was thus pictorially represented. A quadrama and a very successful modernization of The Sorcerer's Apprentice were also created in this way: At TikTok I've seen it, / it can't be that hard. / The Ehrlich Brothers did it, / if I don't make it, it would be a laugh.
