bill Bill Ziegler Getting Around in German

Each week, we transform a classroom into a place where German language might be found: in restaurants, at the train station, while finding your way through towns and villages, while finding your way back to the hotel.  
Grammar topics are then approached within those places in the spirit of Gemütlichkeit.

German in Review
Alan Shropshire Intermediate Conversational German Class
 
This year we will work with the second part of the book (starting with Chapter 30). Emphasis will be placed on learning new vocabulary from the text by incorporating it into speeches and class conversations. Grammar will continue to emphasize mastery of verb forms with other grammar areas to include use of Relative Pronouns, Passive Voice, Da/Wo compounds and the Genitive. Practical use of the Subjunctive in everyday speaking will also be addressed.

Evi Washburn Beginning Reading and Writing (First Grade +)

Children must have completed Kindergarten, so that they are able to follow the writing and reading tasks. I pull my materials from a variety of online sources, starting with the correct pronuncation of the German alphabet as well as with umlauts. We also work on different parts of speech (nouns, verbs etc.) and how to identify them. This is done on a basic level. We do a lot of interactive games to learn other things, such as how to adress different types of people when meeting them. We also integrate German celebrations throughout the year into our weekly activities. Many times this is done by doing specific German crafts, songs, games etc.
