Apologies

Sorry I've absent so much - last week I was stranded in New York. Today I was running orals so we were unable to have a lesson. I realise how frustrating this is for all of us. We will make up the time, don't worry. Summer exams are approaching and you should do a practice paper 1 and 2. Paper 1 is here: text booklet and question booklet. For paper 2, do this:
Schreiben Sie einen Artikel für die Schülerzeitung über Raumforschung. Was sind die Argumente für und gegen die Eroberung des Weltalls? Was ist Ihre persönliche Meinung zu diesem Thema?"(250 Wörter).

Do as much of the work above as you can in 2 hours ready for next Tuesday.

Absent on Tues 9th Feb

Sorry - I won't be in tomorrow (Tues 9th Feb) due to illness. Log on to the computer in the room and go to news4kids. Choose an article jointly - translate it, make vocab notes then log off and reconstruct it back into German.

Filming

Be ready to film the Holocaust Denkmal interviews on Tuesday 17th. Then we'll carry on with the Gruselgeschichten selection before you write your own.

Keep an eye on all the Wiedervereinigung coverage. Der Fall der berliner Mauer war vor zwanzig Jahren. Ein paar interessante Bilder gibt es hier.

Halloween, music and Christmas

This half term we will do some halloween related stories, maybe some deutsche Rockmusik and a Borchert short story 'Die drei dunklen Könige' related to Christmas and the war.

Frau Barrett will teach you for two lessons today as I am running a training course. You will do further work on the Holocaust Denkmal. Make sure your role plays are as fluent as possible. Use the worksheet for support and preparation but make sure you learn material. We will do the greenscreen filming properly after half term.

This week, we will try to do some eye-witness reports based around the Berlin Holocaust Denkmal. We'll base our work on the worksheet and then do some greenscreen video. Your homework will be to revise and redo the worksheet so that learning is secure.
