Today we had a test: nothing fancy, just an end to our unit over comparatives and the simple past.
This took a substantial amount of time, proctoring and then going over the test, which included an essay portion as well.
We did our usual listening comprehension to start the day off, and did part 1 of the test, which we then went over as a class up until lunch.
After lunch, we did the second part, which was the short story portion (a bit more creative than an essay).
The day ended with a comparing game wherein different toys were compared in a team vs. team race.
The homework is as follows:
With the help of the handout from last week, as well as independent research, compose a poem about an ancient Germanic/nordic hero or deity. It may be a fictional one (like Siegfried from Wagner's Ring Cycle) or an authentic one (from the actual myths).
- 15 lines, rhyming in some form or other (pick a poetic form and stick with it)
- Describe the character you chose, including things they have done (simple past) and comparisons to other characters as to why they are better (e.g. "Thor ist stärker als Loki!" and so on)
