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.

Next lesson we will go through your work on Neckarsulm and then prepare the last activity. Your next piece of work will be to do a fun, ironic, visual leaflet about Miststadt and its attractions. Miststadt basically means Dungtown. This is why they couldn't sell a perfume in Germany called Irish Mist.

Then we will go onto this worksheet.

Well done Matt and Fiona for some excellent work on Berlin sites. The rest of you now need to do this. We'll continue with tourism and language-manipulation work next Tuesday.
