Łukasz Magierowski (klasa 3a) znalazł się wśród 70 osób zakwalifikowanych do drugiego etapu konkursu Discover Canada 2022. Gratulacje! Warto tu wspomnieć, że w etapie szkolnym wzięło udział około 1000 uczniów ze 110 szkól ponadpodstawowych z całej Polski. Nauczycielem Łukasza jest p. Joanna Kwiatkowska.
W półfinale przed Łukaszem stoją dwa zadania: wieloaspektowy test wiedzy o Kanadzie oraz napisanie eseju na jeden z trzech wylosowanych tematów. Organizatorzy losują z puli 7 tematów.
A oto temat jednego z esejów do przygotowania:
George Elliott Clarke is a distinguished poet, playwright, novelist, and scholar of African and Mi’kmaq descent. His accomplishments are staggering, too numerous to mention, but he is known for his virtuoso linguistic performances in his writing. Many of his texts are devoted to the exploration of the experience and history of the Black Canadian community of Nova Scotia, which he refers to as “Africadia’. Those who met him in person know how erudite, articulate and eloquent he is, saying nothing about his inexhaustible energy, vitality, and a genuine love of life. His writing that has “rediscovered the joys of rhyme”, is defined as oral based and engaging many senses. Watch the proposed interviews and documentaries and write an essay in which you examine Clarke’s ideas on poetry: What is a poem? Why did he become a poet? What is the importance of poetry and critical thinking in our lives? Listen to some of his poetic performances (provide titles) and write how they impacted you. Are you attracted to this kind of writing? Or perhaps you are disenchanted with it? Provide reasons for your response.
Półfinał konkursu Discover Canada 2022 odbędzie się 22 lutego 2022r. J Ze względu na panującą sytuację epidemiczną półfinał odbędzie się w formie online.
