Continue to work on workbook/lab manual for Kap 9, to hand in on 3/23.
Match answers to A. There is no vocabulary for this section, as you can look for cognates and guess from context.
Grammatik m Kontext
Review again, if unclear, the chart on page 275, Adjectives after a Definite Article. THEN,
P. 278, read “Adjectives without a Preceding Article.” Notice that the endings correspond to the definite articles that you already know so well: For example, Masc.: der - guter, den = guten, etc. (note: the exception is in the genitive sing. masculine and neuter) In essence, since the gender is not given, the adjectives without a preceding article indicate the gender and are taking the place of the definite articles! Ganz einfach!
Thema 3, p. 267
Match answers to A. There is no vocabulary for this section, as you can look for cognates and guess from context.
Exercise: Identify one historical 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 hours. Just an idea. Come up with something of your own. Google it!
Listen to “Nach dem Weg fragen”, p. 268. Study Neue Wörter. Write answers to B.
Giving directions: Now, from the vantage of the I (information) kiosk, write directions for a tourist to your chosen destination (above). 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 Akt. 5 and fill in dialog blanks.
Be prepared to do Akt. 6 in class.
Akt 7: Using “Redemittel”, p. 269, Write 3 exchanges between 2 people, as in the example. Choose 3 different locations (Sie stehen) as your starting point and match them with a different destination (Sie wollen). You will then have a short exchange (x3) for which you ask directions and also give a reply. This is based on the Stadtplan von Wittenberg, p. 267.
Read Landeskunde-Info, p. 270. Be able to give at least one response to the first question: Was sind zwei wichtige Daten in der Geschichte Ihrer Stadt”? Heads up: A "Kultur" question about this Landeskunde-Info will be on the chapter test for Kap 9.
Akt 8: Write directions from the CCSF Mission Center to three locations in SF of your choice. Make good use of the "directional" vocabulary introduced in Kapitel 9. Also, it would be helpful to rewatch the video for Kapitel 9, esp. the last part with people giving directions.

P. 277, read and study “Adjectives after an Indefinite Article”
Übung 10, write adjective endings for blanks
Übung 11, be prepared to do in class, but prepare at least three questions to ask a classmate, using "ein" plus adjectives with correct endings to describe the nouns. See the Beispiel for guidance.
P. 278, read “Adjectives without a Preceding Article.” Notice that the endings correspond to the definite articles that you already know so well: For example, Masc.: der - guter, den = guten, etc. (note: the exception is in the genitive sing. masculine and neuter) In essence, since the gender is not given, the adjectives without a preceding article indicate the gender and are taking the place of the definite articles! Ganz einfach!
Übung 12, write answers. Read the directions before beginning! You will be using the "Analyse" material on p. 279 for this.
Übung 13, listen and fill in blanks, Texts 1 and 2
EXTRA PRACTICE with adjective endings:
Here and here and here,
and finally, Here The story of Little Red Riding Hood, with adjective endings!
This exercise covers the three categories of adjective endings: after a definite article, after an indefinite, and unpreceded, so it will really benefit to work through this. 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 and we will review. Note that some blanks will remain empty. This is not a test, BUT BRING THE COMPLETED PAGE TO CLASS (to review). Keep calm and carry on!

Finally, a bit of fun and cultural interest in this video in which people are asked what their definition of "Gemütlichkeit" is. As you can tell, it does mean different things to different people, but there is a unified sense of "well being" in all of the definitions.
