<\/a>When will I be seen as a grown up? Am I really looking forward to becoming independent? Those existential questions are on everybody\u2019s minds, especially upon entering high school and soon turning 16, 17, and then 18\u2026 It\u2019s of course at once about the excitement of no longer being a child but also the fear of soon having to
make life-changing decisions without being able to depend entirely on one\u2019s parents. That results in what many call \u201cteenage angst\u201d.
My 2nde students this year were asked then, as the school year started, to consider these questions and study documents of various nature that relate to the topic of teenagehood, the generation gap or young people\u2019s wish
for independence. They could therefore see what artists in the past said about what they may experience in the near future. The hope was for them to relate to the artworks but also to take critical distance from them and elaborate their own discourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One aspect of that critical distance was to look into the codes of a given genre (be it painting, poetry, drama or cinema) and explore those codes by adapting the original
artworks into a different medium. A scene from a movie could be turned into a literary extract, or a song could beturned into a drawing, or else a painting could be adapted
into a storyboard. Since it is up to each and everyone of us to write our own life story (with the help of others, of course!), it seems only natural that high school students
should be given the opportunity to become storytellers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following pages are then full of stories that are at times funny, at others moving, but that all beg the question: what does it mean to be independent? And is it worthwhile? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After weeks of compiling these stories, you are now given the chance to read them, and read about them, and so it is our hope you enjoy the independent spirit that drives them and you find the experience worthwhile indeed. Have as much fun reading their stories as the students had telling them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
