The day began with another handout from the Sandra and Woo comic. This then lead into a quick review of the conjugation of regular verbs as well as "sein," and then we did a listening comprehension exercise with Mein Herz Brennt from Rammstein. Please do remind your children to keep all listening comprehension exercises as we will, before long, have a quiz over their vocabulary selections.
Now for the bit that will make the introductory statement make sense. Divided up into partners, the students made interrogative dialogues with one another. They played the roles of people who ran into each other in whatever situation they could imagine, and then they would ask each other questions they thought would be relevant to get to know each other in these situations. For some reason, it seems the most relevant questions to ask a new friend during a zombie attack are such as, "Was trinkst du?" or "So... wie findest du diese Zombies?"
One partner pair that may or may not have just been me talking at myself played a pair of astronauts unexpectedly running into each other on the moon.
For the rest of the afternoon after lunch, after going further into interrogative words (wo, wie, wer, was, warum, wohin, woher) we played "Stasimann," a game where one person in the class was a stasi agent or informant, and every round, someone was taken off to prison for unlawful conduct. The class was then allowed to ask one question of me, the narrator, to figure out who the Stasi was. Some questions were gamebreakers, e.g. "Ist es ein Mädchen?" when we only had two boys in the class, whereas others weren't particularly helpful, e.g. "Was ist die Farbe seines Schuhes?" (every kid but one had black shoes).
And now, for the homework:
