Hello, all!
I hope everyone enjoyed their 3 day weekend. I know I enjoyed the extra day off to sleep in.
As promised, here is a blog post with some reminders and notes. I will also list the expectations for the Fashion Show once again.
Here is an example of the homework design assignment. Students were asked to design three outfits from their closet and write three short descriptions on the back.
Remember, the two ways to structure your sentences are:
He wears....
Er trägt....
OR
He has ..... on. (He has on......)
Er hat ..... an.
Please see the picture below for a review on the notes taken in class.
Blue is for "der words", pink is for "die words", and lastly green is for "das words".
I hope the color coding visual will help you understand the concept.
My suggestion is that you start by listing the outfit you will wear, and figure out which ones are der, die, or das. Then, begin to structure your short script and be sure to use the correct for of 'ein' (einen, eine, ein). Use as many adjectives as you would like, but be sure to add on the correct ending!
Your grade for the Fashion Show will be based on the following 3 things:
1.
Your Attitude.
Are you actively participating the day of by paying attention and encouraging classmates? Are you focused and not being disruptive? Are you simply enjoying the end product of the unit?
2.
Your Script.
The day of the Fashion Show (next Monday for Quasars, Tuesday for Comets) you must have a typed or neatly handwritten script to be handed in to Frau G. The script must be the description of the outfit that either you or your partner will be wearing for the assignment.
You and your partner may decide amongst yourselves whether YOU are writing the script for YOUR OUTFIT, and YOUR PARTNER will read that script... OR... whether YOU will write the description for YOUR PARTNER'S OUTFIT and YOU will read it.
3.
Your Pronunciation.
Are you enunciating? How comfortable do you sound reading the script? How easy is it to understand you? .... How fluent do you sound?
And lastly....
I'm goin' to Space Camp, I'm goin' to Space Camp, I'm goin' to Space Camp....

See you at 7:15 at Murphy Candler Park!
Alles liebe,
Frau G
