Despite the snow and silliness of the midwest in the wintertime, we managed to have school and a fully attended class, much to my surprise and elation.
We had a student "Meine Nächste Woche" presentation, and did "Mein Fahrrad" by Die Prinzen for our listening comprehension. We also had an open-notes pop quiz over modal verbs to finish out that unit. I made it open-notes to encourage good note taking, which I consider far more important of a skill and a habit than simply memorizing things.
Our lesson was over prepositional phrases. We introduced another acronym, "TMPO" (time, manner, place, object) to cover proper word order in prepositional phrases, introduced the common/two-way prepositions (an, auf, hinter, vor, neben, über, unter, zwischen) and did the obligatory dance to go with them. This segued into covering what direct and indirect objects are, and how they use the accusative and dative cases respectively.
We will continue to deep dive into this grammar unit over the next few weeks.
Thank you all for coming today!
Mit Vergnügen
