Grüße an alle!
As promised and forewarned, Saturday's class opened with a quiz over the vocabulary we've accumulated from listening comprehension exercises (the songs) so far this year. It went rather well, as it was apparent that most everyone had studied.
We then reviewed the conjugation guidelines for regular verbs, as well as haben and sein, and jumped into a brand new unit that will be following us for the rest of the year: happy-fun-delicious-delightful modal verbs!
Beginning with the informal semi-modal verb möchten and introducing dürfen, we went over the basic use of modal verbs including the proper structuring of a compound verb phrase. This lead into what is easily one of the sillier games in our repertoire, "Lehrer Darf Ich?" a variation of the classic "Mother May I?" In essence, commands were given, then confirmed by saying the title phrase, and silliness ensued. That is probably the first time I've ever seen someone attempt to follow the commands "Sleep," "run," "sing" and "fly" simultaneously.
Finishing off the day after lunch in the time we had left before Singprobe, we discussed thankfulness and brainstormed about the things for which we are thankful. We then made posters with the phrase, "Ich bin dankbar für..." followed by drawings of what we're thankful for paired with the words for them, e.g. "meinen Hund" followed by a picture of a dog.
And now, the homework, to be turned in on 1. December:
P. 47, Exercises 5,6
P.50, Exercises 2,3
Finish the, "Ich bin dankbar für..." poster if not completed in class
Mit Vergnügen!
