Guten Morgen!
Yesterday we spent the class period locked in a glorious battle of the minds between two warring factions: "Obst" and "Gemüse," as we reviewed the content covered this semester.
So in other words, we played Jeopardy in teams.
In the end, Gemüse won by one of the narrowest of possible margins, 150 points (the value of half a question) due to a team member having been highly skilled at searching for hidden shoes.
Next week will be the last class period of the year, and we will reconvene in January 2014. Yes, there is school next week.
Those who attend next week will have a great deal of fun in my class, so come to German School!
Also, if any of your children are allergic to the contents of a frosted sugar cookie--my documentation doesn't indicate as such, but thought I'd ask just in case--PLEASE let me know.
Mit Vergnügen

7.Dez. '13 - Haariger als Sven?
Today we compared ourselves to the unattainable specimen of perfection that is our beloved Sven.
First we began by correcting the homework together and reading the results aloud, then switching it up a bit and making the previously first-person statements of comparison to Sven be 3rd person, so we all talked about how we all compared to dear old Sven.
We went back over the comparatives unit from before Thanksgiving, and added onto it the superlatives (Am besten, am größten, der/die/das Beste, der/die/das Größte, etc.) and some dialogues/roleplaying exercises to go with them.
We also took as many chances as we could to go bother the 8th grade class with what we've learned, such as running over there, saying, "Wir sind am klugsten!" nice and loud and then running away, because it builds community. That was my reason. Of course it was.
Singprobe happened just before lunch, so we then did lunch and our Ruhepause, nice little block of time there, and wrapped up with some further dialogue exercises, including mad lib versions of the ones from last week.
And now, the homework:
Workbook page 12, #10; page 11, #6
Fahrvergnügen
