14. April '18 - AATG Day

Grüße!

Saturday was all manner of fun, as it was the 7th grade's day for taking the AATG exam. The primary purpose of this was to serve as a benchmark as well as to set the students' expectations for what they'll be seeing in 8th grade, that being when the exam will "count" for something.

Seemingly it went rather well.

Afterward, as a very welcome break, we had a historical talk with Frau Wiegert, who lead us through the Museum onsite and talked about all the various artifacts present and how they tied into the German lifestyle of years long-since past.
For further history, we also finished our Battle of Teutoburg Forest mural.

Next week I will not be present, but there will be an activity of great interest for the class to complete.

Mit Vergnügen

7.April '18 - Essay and a Test

Guten Tag,

Today was a bit different than planned. It turned out that only a couple of students did the presentation assignment over the various historical figures attached to the Battle of Teutoburg, so given the importance of this information, we took class time to make up for it. They were given a 1-page essay to complete over their assigned person.

This took a bit of time.

Afterward, we began our annual Teutoburgerschlacht mural, which we shall complete next week.

Next class, we have will be taking the Level 1 AATG Exam as a benchmark for next year. I recommend taking a practice test between now and then.

Mit Vergnügen~
