Menu Project Due Date

Students,

The Menu Project is due on MONDAY, MAY 5TH no matter which team you are on! Don't forget! Please see the previous blog post for a link to the Webquest. You can use a sheet of 11x14 piece of paper that I have given you or a regular computer paper. Construction paper works to! Make sure it is legible. NEAT. Beautiful. Include prices. Using the euro sign. Do not forget that in German you use a comma and not a period (€ 5,80).  I look forward to seeing your final drafts!

Alles liebe,
Frau G

2. Look at those expressions!


3. Love the third section.


4. Love the first section!


5. Hilarious.


6. Really well done!


Hope you enjoyed stopping by!

Frau B's Cultural German Class (Every Wednesday)

Some of you may have already heard, every Wednesday Frau Baumann teaches the sixth grade about German culture. It has been very neat to see! The lessons she has prepared so far focus on Berlin. Such a fun city! (Frau G did a mini study abroad there in 2007. Perhaps you will see some personal photos up here shortly.)

The first homework assignment she has given is to draw a section of the Berlin wall,... what freedom might look like to you, how you might illustrate breaking free of the "walls" you experience in your life. Here are some student examples.











They're beautiful, aren't they?

Snow Update

Hello all,

I hope you've enjoyed your week off! 

Comets and Quasars should be prepared to turn in their poem drawing assignment when we return to school on Tuesday, January 18th. 

You are to complete 3 drawings based on the poem given in class. (You may also find it in the previous blog post.)
Please WRITE at least 3 lines from the poem on your drawing as well.  (In German, of course!)
You may draw and write out the entire poem if you would like.

The quiz is postponed until Thursday 2/20 and Friday 2/21 and we will briefly discuss poem presentations in class on Tuesday 2/18 and Wednesday 2/19. They will also be postponed until Monday 2/24 and Tuesday 2/25.

Alles liebe,

Körperteile und "Ein Jüngling liebt ein Mädchen"

Hallole :),

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!

Kleidung Quiz

I hope everyone survived the cold!
We will all have interesting January 2014 Snow Storm Stories for years to come.......

Everyone, Quasars and Comets, should be prepared for a Quiz! This should come as no surprise.

Bis bald,

Frau G
