Il lessico della Shoah per una produzione linguistica creativa. Esempio di un percorso metodologico-didattico basato sul concetto di multiliteracies

The present paper describes the development of a learning unit for German learners about different aspects of the Shoah. The theoretical basis follows the pedagogical design of multiliteracies both as regards the structure of the unit and the variety of proposed texts and media. Firstly, the students acquire knowledge of the past through the analysis of medial and written texts. In this phase they focus on the use and function of words related to the Shoah. Then they apply what they have learnt by producing creative poetry, using digital resources. In this way they have the opportunity to reflect on the past by comparing it with their own thoughts and opinions. The connection with present situations aims at making students rethink behaviour models.
