In die Tonne – aus dem Sinn!
Allein in Deutschland landen jedes Jahr elf Millionen Tonnen Lebensmittel im Müll. Würde man diese Menge Lebensmittelabfall in Lkws verladen, so ergäbe sich eine Lkw-Schlange, die von Berlin bis nach Peking reichen würde.
Und für einen kleinen Teil davon ist auch Familie Nicosia aus Köln verantwortlich. Der Film begleitet die siebenköpfige Familie eine Woche lang, um zu dokumentieren, wie viel Essen bei ihnen in der Mülltonne landet.
Viel Geld verschwindet beim Essen. Teuer eingekaufte Lebensmittel, die dann ungegessen im Müll landen. In der Tonne – aus dem Sinn. Dass Essen einfach so im Müll landet, ist kein Phänomen, das nur bei Familie Nicosia vorkommt. Die meisten von uns würden zu derselben Erkenntnis gelangen. Der Film erklärt, wo die Probleme entstehen und wie man,
z. B. durch planvolles Einkaufen, die Lebensmittelverschwendung vermeiden bzw. stark reduzieren kann.
Gemeinsam mit dem sehr umfangreichen Unterrichtsmaterial (klassische und interaktive Arbeitsblätter und Testaufgaben) ist der Unterrichtsfilm sehr gut für den Einsatz im Unterricht geeignet.
Lehrplanzentral und an den Bildungsstandards orientiert

Peer Mediation
Lena and Max attend the 7th form. Max is new in class. During a break, Max notices that Lena and her friend are laughing at him again. Max loses his temper! He slaps Lena in the face. That hurts and Lena runs back into the classroom with a red cheek. The growing conflict between the two has escalated. Just like Lena and Max, every day pupils all over Germany have rows with each other. At the Heinrich Hertz Gymnasium in Thuringia, pupils have been trained as mediators for years. At set hours, they are in a room made available by the school specifically for mediation purposes. The film describes the growing conflict between Max and Lena and shows a mediation using their example. In doing so, the terms “conflict” and “peer mediation” are explained in a non-technical way. The aims of peer mediation and its progress in five steps as well as the mediators’ tasks are illustrated. The art of asking questions and “mirroring”, which the mediators must know, is described and explained. Together with the comprehensive accompanying material, the DVD is a suitable medium to introduce peer mediation at your school, too.
Podcasting
Today, the use of new media has become a matter of course not only in everyday life – schools and teaching, too, benefit from the new technologies and methods, which support active and independent learning. Especially in computer science, ethics and language courses but also in all other subjects, modern media are a valuable pedagogic and didactic asset. This DVD uses the example of podcasts to demonstrate how the possibilities opened up by new media can be applied in the classroom and how the pupils can be taught to handle them in a competent and target-oriented manner. The film is aimed at supporting the use of podcasts at school and encourages making them. This also requires the ability to find information on the Internet and assess it. The film informs on the functionality of podcasts and technical background as well as on the teaching and learning possibilities offered by podcasts – ranging from specific contents to superordinate learning targets such as the advancement of creativity and team spirit.
