It all started out so calmly with the song "Mein Fahrrad" by Die Prinzen.
We then took inventory or our handouts to make sure that everyone had everything needed for end-of-semester quizzes in the next few weeks.
Then out came "Krieg im Altentum: ein gutes Spiel," the strategy fighting game I made myself because it's fun. In short, using the legionnaires and teutonic warriors we'd made and decorated in past weeks, along with a point system of defense and offense, hit points and saves, the class divided into two groups to pit the Teutons against the Romans. It's a lot like a mix of Pokemon and DnD, as regards mechanics, and was a fun use of the vocabulary we'll have a quiz over next week as well as regular verb and dative case usage.
By 1 point, the Teutons ended up winning after a very long, drawn-out battle with many upsets and sudden reversals.
The vocabulary quiz next week will be over these words (and they're also on the handouts "Eisenzeit Kleider" and "Waffen.")
- Sword - der Schwert
- Spear - der Speer
- Shield - der Schild (note that Das Schild is a sign, and Der Schild is the defensive device)
- Dagger - der Dolch (makes me giggle every time I order Dulce de Leche)
- Helmet - der Helm
- Body Armor - die Körperpanzerung
- Pants - die Hose
- Cloak/coat - der Mantel
- Sandals - die Sandalen
- Boots - die Stiefel
- Catapult - die Schleuder
- Skirt - der Rock
And they will be asked to identify what the following are on a diagram of a Roman: toga, tunic, sash, laurels.
Viel Glück!
