It finally happened.
We did our annual re-enactment-ish/dramatic re-interpretation of the Battle of Teutoburg Forest. This took all day.
The final video will require some editing, but I will distribute this once it is finished and available. All in all I'd say it easily ranks in the top 3 of the 6 that we have done over the years.

16. März '19 - Preparation for Teutoburg
Today was an interesting one that started with forgotten assignments and ended with mass mayhem.
So in other words, it was perfectly normal for our class.
Due to a lack of prepared homework, we simply started with Meine Woche and then did our listening and translation exercise, using "Lasst uns froh und munter sein." It turns out that everyone has been singing this song since kindergarten without having any idea what it actually meant.
We then reviewed the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, discussed all the main actors of the event and what needed to happen, and set about preparing the script.
Once the dialogue is completed, we will begin rehearsing and then it shall be filmed, to be shared with all of you as a completed epic.

9. März '19 - Teutoburg Art
We started off our day doing both listening comprehension and translation of Rammstein's "Ohne Dich," which went decently well since it's a rather simple, rather slow song.
We had a few students present their "People of Teutoburg" presentations, and we will have three more go next week.
Then we spent the majority of our time making our own smaller-scale, individual posters of the Teutoburger Schlacht, and went around the school getting votes as to the best.
Next week we will do a bit more work on some Teutoburg projects as well.

2.März '19 - Krapfen und Kämpfen
Guten Tag!
Today we started out with Meine Woche as usual, and then we did a reading and translation exercise with each student being assigned their own pair of Züngenbrecher to work through.
For our lesson we reviewed the future tense, and then after each student produced a nice pile of times, places, and verbs, we did "prophetic mad libs," where each of us blindly reached into the piles of words to produce our "future."
Examples that stood out:
"Ich werde in 5 Minuten in Mexiko explodieren."
"Ich werde in 100,000 Jahre in Australien lesen."
After the break, we read through a historical article over the Battle of Teutoburg forest. Each student read through it and answered questions about it before we discussed it as a class.
The homework is to make a short presentation over a major historical figure from this event: Arminius, Governor Varus, Chieftain Segestes, Emperor Augustus.
Next week we will also make our Teutoburgerschlacht Poster.
