Guten Tag,
Saturday was a day of action, of suspense, of death-defying feats of...saying things in German. Also, there was a troll.
We opened with roughly half the class that was present having prepared their "meine Nächste Woche" assignments (which I anticipated, since I had asked for everyone to have it ready), and thus also presenting them.
There was a short historical lecture from a guest speaker, Fr. Wiegert, who spoke about Schwäbisch history and culture as is tradition to do in the school on select occasions.
We had a review of the future tense, along with some basic exercises and practice on that topic, and them moved on after lunch to our main activity for the day. This one either goes very well or horribly, horribly wrong each year depending on the class. This time, it went quite well: "Eisenzeit Krieg" also known as "Ancient Pokebattles." In short, with an elaborate point system, a 20-sided dice, and a bunch of yelling things in German, we had a battle royale between two halves of the class via paper Roman legionnaires and germanic tribesmen. There was also a deus ex machina mechanic in the form of a troll that could only be summoned if a natural 20 was rolled.
It was enough to make the 8th grade class next door wonder if we needed therapy and/or the National Guard as a result of the enthusiastic yelling.
And that's our story.
Mit Vergnügen
