Hallo liebe Leute!
I came back from France to hear that everything went smashingly with the sub in my absence, so that was good to hear. Thanks to all in attendance that day for leaving my colleague Jack with an excellent impression of our school.
Today we had a surprisingly small class of 3 until the last half hour, but we made the best of it. I showed us some videos on 1.) strange laws on the books still in Germany (for fun) and 2.) politeness and etiquette for eating out or dining with friends, as part of what I plan to be a little unit on similarities and differences between customs here and customs there.
After discussing what's polite and what isn't, we did skits where one student was the epitome of ünhöfflichkeit at dinner, and the other was the pulling-out-their-own-hair polite one trying to keep their friend under control.
For the last few minutes of class, we played an oldy/goody game, Herr Fuchs.
Hausaufgabe
-In at least 10 sentences, write me a little story wherein you have a friend over for dinner who acts like an absolute Schweinhund! What does he/she do wrong? This should be from a German perspective.
Mit Vergnügen~
