German 2A - Assignment for 11/12/13

Class will meet at 6:00 p.m.

Good news for German 2A students, yes, there will be a 2A/2B class offered in Spring 2014.  I don't know any details as of yet, check the schedule posted online on Friday.

Continue to work on workbook and lab manual for Kap 9 to hand in on 11/19

Office hour will be on 11/19, NOT 11/12

Thema 3, p. 267

Write answers to A

Identify one location on the map of the Lutherstadt Wittenberg and write 3-5 sentences (in German!) about that location, be it a building, a tree, a museum, a church.   Just as a suggestion: tell us how old the place/building is, if it’s a museum, what are the hoursJust a couple of ideas. 

For everyone: From the vantage of the I (information) kiosk, write directions for a tourist to your chosen destination. Tip: you might want to study the Neue Wörter, p. 268 for suggestions for giving directions, or look first at “Redemittel”, p. 269. 

Listen to “Nach dem Weg fragen”, p. 268.  Study Neue Wörter.  Write answers to B.

Listen to Akt. 5 and fill in dialog blanks

Be prepared to do Akt.6 in class.

Akt 7: be prepared to give various directions.  Study “Redemittel”, p. 269.

Read Landeskunde-Info, p. 270. Be able to give two responses to the first question: Was sind zwei wichtige Daten in der Geschichte Ihrer Stadt”? 

Akt 8: be prepared to give directions from the Downtown campus to three locations in SF of your choice. 

Grammatik im Kontext, p. 271

Read and study “Adjectives after an Indefinite Article”

Übung 10, write adjective endings for blanks

Übung 11, be prepared to do in class

Read “Adjectives without a Preceding Article”

Übung 12, write answers.  Read the directions before beginning!

Übung 13, listen and fill in blanks, Texts 1 and 2

EXTRA PRACTICE with adjective endings:

Try doing this without looking back and forth to the charts.  Go with what you know: look at case, gender, number (i.e. singular or plural).  Ask yourself: Is the noun preceded by a definite or an indefinite article, or no article at all? Fill it out and check your answers.  Bring to class.  Note: the margins are wide, so I ended up copying the finished text, then put it into a Word doc with a landscape orientation.  Of course, then you don't keep the answers, so you could rewrite the answers as a second exercise!
