The Making of a Children’s Book
From Idea to Print
Every year thousands of new books are published. You can get a notion of that vast number at the large book fairs in Frankfurt or Leipzig. The companies producing the books that are presented here are called publishing houses. Some of the publishing houses also present books here that have been made especially for children who are learning to read. For instance this book about “Magical Animal Stories”. But how exactly are the books made which are presented here? What does a publishing house do? What people and what ideas are responsible for the publication of a book? What has to happen for a book to be printed and for us to be able to buy it in a bookstore and read it? Let’s turn back time a little and watch how, for instance, this book with the magical animal stories was produced.

Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
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.
