Guten Abend,
We opened our class with "Meine Woche," which as usual followed the hilarity, chills, spills, and thrills of my weekly life. We somehow managed to survive all the excitement.
Our listening exercise involved a culture lesson, learning about how the German train system works and what this phenomenon known as "Schwarzfahren" is. In short, it's riding the train without a ticket, which is risky because of the plain clothes "Controllers" who roam the trains and randomly, out of nowhere could ask for your ticket at any time, and getting caught without a ticket is a 60 Euro fine. We watched a comedy video, "How to Schwarzfahren."
We wrapped up our unit on modal verbs and had some excitement with it: two teams squared off against each other on the board, "Gruppe 1" versus "Schwarzfahren." I chose neither of those names. Ironically, Gruppe 1 was the group of kids who'd been numbered as "2" when I divided up the room. I believe that irony was on purpose.
I will explain in the email summary just exactly what will be on the quiz we will have next week over modal verbs.
We played Kahoot to celebrate the end of the modal verbs, and then we wrapped up our lesson on comparative Iron Age religion. We reviewed and filled out a listening worksheet over Roman and Germanic mythologies and their ritual observance.
And that was our class! Everyone should come prepared next week for a quiz.
Mit Vergnügen
