Es ist bald Dezember!

Today, Friday, we played German language games the whole class!  We worked on German tongue twisters.  Each of us memorized "Brautkleid bleibt Brautkleid und Blaukraut bleibt Blaukraut."
We created an enormous Deutscheswort!
"die Grossknusprigdoppelschokoladeerdnussbutterkeksteigeiseimeretikette" (the big crispy double-chocolate peanut butter cookie-dough icecream container label).
We also played a game where we had to remember words.
As I mentioned previously in class, this helps with my desire to focus more on oral language skills.

We also learned the difference between the words Romantic and romantic and how it applies to die Romantische Strasse -- a section we read in the book pp. 41-43.

On Thursday German 12 students (only Emily PF) simply supported the learning of German 11 students. 

German 11 students on Thursday completed #13-14 as well as reading the milli and willi  cartoon. Also, student went over and corrected 5-11.

"Chips" ist hier gewesen!

We chatted with David "chips" Shammler, and we did an unprepared skit.

German 12's -- Handed in homework (#17-22).  Complete questions on p. 171 (you'll have to read pp. 169-170). Also complete questions #25

German 11's -- opening chapter. Complete questions 1-4.

We ended off by chatting with an older German gentleman.

Elke und Katja sind nicht hier!

German 12's handed in the worksheet on the genetive for marks.  Then they completed 8-16 out of their workbook during class.  Elke and Katja, please have that done for the next time I see you.

German 11's completed their chapter 12 test and began working on their new textbook.

During the second half, students got scripts for the Kapitel 12 video and they began acting out the video episode.  We'll perform them in the drama room next Monday.  Emily Unterberger, you'll have to take the role of Marco in one of the groups.

Süßigkeiten!

Today we celebrated with too much candy
German 11's prepared for their chapter 12 test which will be written on Wednesday of next week.
German 12's began taking notes on the Genetive case.

We also listened to Fanta 4's song TROY.
In addition, we began class with our first unprepared dialogue (which I thought went well!)

Freitag!

German 12's did their chapter 4 test.
German 11's studied the irregular past participles, handed in last day's homework ( 5-10 from chapter 12), and they began to teach themselves possessive pronouns.  (no new homework was assigned!)

Elke ist zurueckgekommen!

Elke returned and gave us all delicious Austrian chocolate (well maybe not the banana chocolates!).

German 11's handed in #3-4.  They then worked on #5-#10 from chapter 12 -- this is due for homework tomorrow.

German 12's handed in #17-18 from chapter 4.  German 12's were studying and preparing for their chapter 4 test tomorrow.
