Today was fascinating!
We began the day with Meine Woche, though this time it was "Mein Sommer," a quick run down of all the things I intend to do over the summer now that my Saturdays are free again for a while.
Then we transitioned into a comprehensive test. I put up questions touching on every single point we learned over the course of the year, allowing them to use any notes or handouts they had kept. Those who still had their notes did rather well. Those who didn't come to class with anything at all did, well, not so well.
This is why we take notes and why we keep ourselves organized.
After all that fun and excitement, we had some actual fun and excitement by playing dodgeball against the 8th graders. The most amazing moment was when it was down to 1 8th grader versus 4 7th graders, and due to their being only one target on the field, it dragged on and on and on and on. Said 8th grader managed to get 2 of the remaining 7th graders out before finally being hit herself.
Then we presented our Poetry projects from last week.
Next week is graduation.
Mit Vergnügen.

5.Mai '18 - Gips
Guten Tag!
Here is what went down at German School this Saturday.
We opened with Meine Woche as usual, and for our listening comprehension used "Dinge die man mit einem Gips tun und nicht tunn kann" by Mirellativegal.
The majority of our time was spent on a much-needed review lesson over regular verb conjugation, as it seems this knowledge has slipped through the cracks over the years. We did a racing game that reviewed this as well as some of the various tenses and modal verbs we learned this year, and played a long game of Bingo with regular verb endings.
The independent task we spent our second half of the day on was finding our own songs or poems (in German) and answering the following questions about them:

The independent task we spent our second half of the day on was finding our own songs or poems (in German) and answering the following questions about them:
- The general meaning of the poem
- Your interpretation of its intention -- why did the author write it or what was he trying to communicate?
They are, next class period, to be read aloud. Those present were also supposed to write comprehension questions to ask the rest of the class upon presenting the poems.
Mit Vergnügen
