Today, as part of our unit on arguments and dialogue, we as a class tackled one of the most important issues of our time: pirates vs. ninjas. After a short review of argument words (nicht, nichts, nie, niemals, niemand, doch) and a pop quiz over modal verbs, regular verbs and the accusative case, we divided into two groups. One half of the class argued that Pirates are better than Ninjas, and the other argued the reverse. After a half hour of discussion, the two groups presented their points.
Ninjas:
- They have nerf guns (?)
- They have free wi-fi (apparently)
- They are honorable
- The don't go around hunting for stupid treasure all day
- They are, and I quote, "faster than snipers."
Pirates:
- They're rich because of all that treasure they gather
- They are multicultural and speak many languages (french, spanish, english) whereas ninjas tend to be culturally-isolated
- Parrots
- They have more movies about them, and their movies are consistently better than ninja movies
- Johnny Depp
Conclusion: Ninjas won because pirates don't have internet access.
The class ended with a quick review on time-telling (24-hr, 12-hr) and a game of "Herr Fuchs."
