Guten Tag!
Saturday began with our presenting the homework assignments, rhymes describing ourselves, which were then shuffled, given to me, and I read them aloud for the class to get which was about whom.
Our main lesson for the day was adding on to last week's introduction to the simple past of haben and sein. We have now become acquainted with the past tense (present perfect) formed with the helping verbs haben and sein. The guiding principle we're going on is that transitive verbs tend to use haben in the past, and intransitive tend to use sein, e.g. werfen (throw) uses haben since it takes an object, whereas fliegen (fly) uses sein since it does not take an object.
And so began storytime! As an activity, in pairs, the students wrote short stories around a word bank I gave them with character names, verbs, and objects that needed to be incorporated.
After lunch, we sat around a circle doing "popcorn" style reading of rhymes and riddles and nonsense words for fun and pronunciation practice.
Aaaaaaand now the homework.
Please navigate to this page, whereupon there is a veeeeeery large worksheet. I only want them to do part B. PART B. It will take hours if they do the whole thing. JUST PART B. It is only 15 questions, the object of which is to choose the right helping verb, haben or sein, for each sentence.
