But I can fake it.
Today was a good day, and it began with the re-take of the vocabulary quiz, which was also the first-take for a couple of students. It went substantially better this time.
We went over the modal verb "Können" and had with it a competition I called "Kochenquatschen" which is basically where each group of students drew 3 food words out of a hat, and they had to come up with a feasible (not necessarily palatable) dish from the results, and run up and write "wir können _____ kochen!" with it. My favorite was when tomatoes, rice, and beer became Spanish Rice with beer sauce. That actually sounds really good. Of course, we also had "roast beef and grapes smoothie" which I'd prefer not to think about.
After lunch, we made Romans, dressed them, and hung them up on the wall to match our set of Teutons. In a future class, we will make legionnaires as well, culminating eventually in our own remake of the Battle of Teutoburg at the end of the year.
The homework is as follows:
Describe a typical Roman citizen (plebeian or patrician) including their appearance and what they are wearing. Include clothing vocabulary from the "Eisenzeit Kleider" handout as well as the proper dative prepositions (e.g. a hat goes "auf" the Kopf but a tunic goes "an" the body).
Mit Vergnügen
