Kvinesdal Junior High School
           

A closer look at Kvinesdal and America
In January 2004, 38 students at Kvinesdal Junior High School had America on their timetable. They took part in Amerikakofferten, and for one school week they investigated the surroundings of Kvinesdal equipped with tape-recorders, cameras, notebooks and their own curiosity. They interviewed grandparents, took photos of America houses and American objects, scanned old photographs and wrote about American food, cars and music.

On the last day of the week the students made an impressive exhibition where some of the discoveries they had made during the project week were put on show. Some of them had baked American cakes, some showed a video they had made, and others wore clothes that had been brought back from America. Photographs were exhibited, music was played and American objects were displayed. The exhibition was open to parents, grandparents and others the students had visited.

Hatbox, transformer, interior magazines and passport – all from America.
