Description
Summary:Edward Hicks (1780-1849) painted the motif of the messianic animal peace (Isiah 11,6-8) again and again, mostly in combination with a depiction of William Penn's peace agreement with the indigenous Lenni Lenape. Hick's pictures are painted sermons. They contrast the expulsion of the indigenous people and the divisions among the Quaker community by images of peace, justice and rebirth in the spirit of Christ. The article advocates bilingual lesson modules (in the sense of Content and Language Integrated Learning, CLIL) that both offer an added value concerning content and at the same time promote the pupils' competences in understanding and communicating in English. The example of Penn's peace agreement shows how didactically elaborated English original texts can be productively used in German RE from grade eight onwards. (English)
