Grammar Review

This was a hassle both to make and publish to the web, so let's hope that someone out there finds it helpful!


Grammar Review for test tomorrow.

Week of October 31

We will continue with presentations today and maybe on Wednesday.

On Thursday, you will have a modal verb and future tense quiz. You will be filling out a blank chart similar to this one. You might want to use this as a study resource.

Your Fussball Freitag challenge will be on the house vocabulary on pages 236-237. Remember you can pick up a point for your team if you bring in a picture of your house that is labeled. Your Fussball Freitag challenge will also be in a different format than the last two, so be sure to be prepared with the vocabulary knowledge.

Due 10/27

The final draft of your "friend" composition is due today. Please type and double space, or if this is not possible, write your final copy in ink. Include your rough draft along with your final.

The editing sheet that we used on Monday is available here.

This form allows you to identify what you need to be checking, which you can then use your notes or book to check.

You will be signing up for your "friend" verbal presentations starting on Monday. Remember, you can use bulleted notes with your friend's information on them, but no complete sentences.

Due 10/21

You will need to complete Ubung 13 for Friday.

Your Klaus/Norbert dialog is postponed, so we'll discuss that more tomorrow.

Your Fussball Freitag challenge will be based on your ability to conjugate modal verbs, know their meaning, and use them correctly in sentences. You may want to review these to be prepared for tomorrow.

Your new friend

You should begin working on your new friend project. Your rough draft of your composition will be dur Monday, the 24th. Here are the requirements of the project.

Repost test information

So, apparently something is a little crazy with my google docs. I'm reposting that information as part of a super long message until I get that figured out. (Update: I think I figured it out now, so the link in the previous post should work, but I'll leave this up just in case.)

Unit 1 Test is coming!

We will be taking our first exam on Tuesday/Wednesday of this next week. Please use this guide as a review of all of the things we have worked with so far this year.

Remember, for a Unit exam, you will be asked to fill out a PV form documenting what studying you have done for the test. Review your PV form or the one posted to the right to make sure you are doing what you need to succeed.

Vocab quiz tomorrow!

You will have a vocabulary quiz on the 6B vocabulary on page 170 in your book. Make sure to know spellings and articles for each word. You will also need to know the words/phrases on page 183, as well as the words/phrases: Speisekarte, Herr Ober, Bedienung, Zahlen, Rechnung that were part of the cultural reading on pages 165-167.

Due Monday

(Note that oe = o with umlaut, and ue = u with umlaut. That's how you do it when you don't know how to make an umlaut online...)

For Monday, you need to be able to conjugate the verbs:



koennen
duerfen
wollen
muessen

Forms of these verbs are in your book on pages 161 or 163.

Also, Wednesday is the due date for your retake of the page 156 vocabulary quiz. I recommend studing with your sponsor and make some practice quizzes for yourself.

Due Thursday

You should be practicing the stem changing verb forms!

Due Wednesday

We will finish our presentations today! Make sure to use some time to review your vocabulary and phrases, both past and present.

Due Tuesday

On Tuesday, you will be presenting your accusation dialogs. You and your partner must write 2 dialogs so you will have a turn playing both the "accuser" and the "denyer". Each dialog should use a different verb, choosing from: nehmen, lesen, sprechen, and essen.

Here is the format:

Student A: Accusation (to teacher)
Student B: Denial
Student A: Re-accusation (directly to student. "Doch..)
Student B: Admission

You will not be using notes for your presentation.

Quiz on Monday!

You will have a vocabulary quiz on the new vocabulary in the dialog on page 156 in your book. Your quiz will also include knowing the meanings of the following verbs:


fahren
essen
geben
lesen
nehmen
sprechen

The next step will be to conjugate these stem changing verbs, so if you'd like to get a head start on studying that this weekend, you can. Their forms are explained on page 196.

Schoenes Wochenende!

Due 9/23

Today we worked in our teams to create skits about people discussing food. We'll be presenting them on Friday, so we'll see which Mannschaft has the most creative skit!

Due 9/21

You should complete making flashcards for the food vocabulary introduced to you on page 156. You might find it useful to use the end of the chapter vocabulary for articles and plural forms (page 189).

Today in class we answered questions about the Lesestuck and discussed proficiency grading.

We also read Lesestueck (below), and wrote questions about Klaus in our teams. Please make sure you are reviewing chapter 1-3 vocabulary and new words we've learned in class.

Hallo! Ich heiße Klaus und ich bin fünfzehn Jahre alt. Ich habe einen Bruder, der auch fünfzehn ist: wir sind Zwillinge! Ich komme aus Berlin, aber ich wohne seit 2 Jahren in München. Jetzt wohne ich in München mit meinem Vater
und meiner Stiefmutter. Meine Mutter wohnt noch in Berlin. Belin liegt im Osten, aber München liegt im Suden. Ich habe auch eine Schwester aber sie wohnt noch in Berlin mit meiner Mutter. Meine Großeltern wohnen in Berlin in der Nähe von meiner Mutti. In meiner Freizeit spiele ich gern Fußball, aber ich
spiele nicht gern Klavier. Ich gehe auch gern in die Disko und besuche meine Freunden. Im Sommer, fahre ich nach Berlin für einen Monat. Ich finde die Schule nicht schlecht, aber manchmal habe ich zu viel Hausaufgaben. Meine Lieblingsfächer sind Englisch und Französisch. Ich lerne Sprachen gern! Ich habe
Chemie nicht gern, und oft become ich eine 4 und manchmal eine 5. Das ist sehr schlecht!

Due 9/15

On Thursday, we will be having a little quiz reviewing the vocabulary of Chapter 1 in the German book. Make sure also to review the new words and phrases we learned on Tuesday and Wednesday that you added to your German Heft.
