Creative overview of the coursework from previous Years at Savremena Gimnazija

Savremena’s students in classes II-1 and II-2 revised the Serbian Language and Literature coursework from the previous school year in an interesting way.
Students were given concepts that refer to the coursework from Year 10, such as Achilles’ heel, Homer, Florence, Inferno, Slaveno-Serbian language, Encomium to Prince Lazar, parody novel, Saint Sava, Sermon on the Mount, and many others. Savremena’s students were tasked with finding appropriate photographs associated with the aforementioned concepts, and creating mosaics of knowledge, which they then interpreted, explaining each of the concepts shown in the photograph.
Here’s the creative mosaic designed by Aleksandra Mosurović, Andrej Elez and Bogdan Zagrađanin:

How to do revision in an original and inspirational manner

This activity was an engaging modification of the original text. Students first recall the coursework from the previous year, revise it, and then actively seek photographs, arrange them in a meaningful way, and finally explain the resulting mosaic to their classmates. Our brand new second-graders have once again demonstrated their creativity and knowledge, said Marija Pilčević Tomašević, Serbian Language and Literature teacher. 

Savremena’s students absolutely love this form of creative revision.

Today’s activity in the Serbian language lesson is the most original and refreshing way to revise the coursework from Year 10, because we had the freedom to choose any photographs that reminded us of the given concepts. The lesson was characterised by the participation of all student groups, both those present in the classroom, and those attending lessons online, so it was another new experience for us. Group work brought us closer and reminded us that the second grade began a while ago. In addition, group work allowed every student to explore, connect concepts, and present the answer in their own way, said Savremena’s student Aleksandra Mosurović.

Teachers at Savremena Gimnazija will continue to seek inventive and engaging ways to help their students master new and expand their existing knowledge.

I am extremely pleased and proud to be the parent of a Savremena student. During my first encounter with the school management, when I asked about my child’s potential enrolment, I saw how much love, enthusiasm and professionalism you put in your work. I was impressed by your approach, ideas and methods. I couldn’t believe something like this existed in our country! It doesn’t take long to realise that this is a school you would recommend to everyone. Creativity, modern technology, top-quality education, and most of all, the humaneness that can be seen throughout the school, make it truly different and worthy of its name – Savremena Gimnazija. With such an approach, the success of this school and, consequently, our children’s success, is unavoidable. Congratulations! Jelena Đorđević, Andrija’s mum
