Earlier this week the students took their quiz on "Kleidung".
We then started the unit "Körperteile". They were given a new vocabulary sheet, and will have a quiz on it next week! We will breeze through this Unit rather quickly, as there are a lot of cognates. So far they have worked on a Körperteile packet, which has five sections (A-E).
Students have also received a poem they are to memorize for the week after Club Day (on 2/14). Students will present Monday (2/17) and Tuesday (2/18).
Here is the poem again, for those who may have lost it, and for parents to see as well.
Ein Jüngling liebt ein Mädchen, die hat einen Andern erwählt; der Andre liebt' eine Andre, und hat sich mit dieser vermählt. Das Mädchen heiratet aus Ärger den ersten besten Mann der ihr in den Weg gelaufen; der Jüngling ist übel dran. Es ist eine alte Geschichte doch bleibt sie immer neu; und wem sie just passieret, dem bricht das Herz entzwei. | A young man loves a girl, who has chosen another man, the other loves yet another and has gotten married to her. The girl marries out of resentment the first, best man who crosses her path; the young man is badly off. It is an old story but remains eternally new, and for him to whom it has just happened it breaks his heart in two. |
As promised, I have included the English translation. Do not wait until the last minute to start memorizing the poem!
That is all for now. Bis bald!
