Grammatik im Kontext: 

Read "Analyse", p. 309 and identify all the verbs in the simple past.  Write them down in three columns: strong, weak and modal verbs.  Write the infinitives for all verbs.  Don't be concerned with the new past participles you might encounter.  

Read and study "Strong Verbs", p. 308.  Note that verbs that are strong in English (i.e. don't form the past tense with "ed") also tend to be strong in German.  

Read "mixed verbs" and "Sprach-Info" (p. 309)

Fill in the blanks for Übung 12, p. 310 (this is based on the Analyse, p. 309) 

Write sentences for Übung 14.  Be sure to read Sprach-Info (p. 309) before doing this one. 

Read and study, "The Past Perfect Tense", p. 311 and write answers to Übung 15.  
It is simply using the past tense of "haben" or "sein" and the past participle, which you already are familiar with.  

Pay special attention to the note about "bevor" and "nachdem" and how they are used to connect sentences. 

Note: much of this is based on concepts you already know.
