German 2A/10C: Assignment for 3/23: Kapitel 9 and test/presentation topics

German 2A/10C: 3/23 

Grammatik im Kontext: 

Read: Adjectives referring to cities and regions, p. 281 

Übung 15: Write sentences 1-8 as complete sentences and we will review this in class.  

Sprache im Kontext:

Lesen:

A.  Write a few short responses:  Vorteile und Nachteile des Stadtlebens.  

Auf den ersten Blick:

A.  Complete.  The simple past will be introduced in the next chapter. For now, try to put the two together: infinitive and simple past form.

Read:  Die Gitarre des Herrn Hatunoglu.  But FIRST, look at B, p. 285 and keep the questions in mind as you read.  The purpose is not to understand everything, and don't spend vast amounts of time on this (in case you were planning on that), but do get the "gist" by being able to answer the questions in B, p. 285.  

Complete A and B pp. 284-285.


Study for the test, Kapitel 9:

To review adjective endings, try these: 

Exercise A

Exercise B

Use "Das Kann ich nun", p. 287 as a guide (disregard #7)   

1.  Listening section: Follow directions

2.  Be able to write directions to two locations on a city map.  Study vocabulary in Nach dem Weg fragen, p. 268 to prepare, as well as "Redemittel", p. 269, Akt. 7.

3.  Know vocabulary pertaining to things to be found in a city.

4.  Genitive case questions

5.  Genitive prepositions questions - know the prepositions! 

6.  Adjective endings, all three groups (after a "der" word, "ein" word or unpreceded). 

7.  Reading passage w/questions.

8.  Schreiben:  Prepare to write 50-60 words on the following:

Ein Rundgang durch die Stadt. Ihr deutscher Freund / Ihre deutsche Freundin besucht Sie in Ihrer Heimatstadt. Zeigen Sie ihm/ihr Ihre Stadt und schreiben Sie seine/ihre Beobachtungen (observations) auf (50–60 Wörter). Benutzen Sie mindestens fünf Adjektive in Ihren Beschreibungen. (20 Punkte)

Mögliche Themen

• den Weg durch die Stadt

• bestimmte Gebäude (buildings) und Sehenswürdigkeiten (tourist attractions), die sie sehen

• Gebäude in Ihrer Nachbarschaft (Schule, Kirche)


• etwas Historisches über die Stadt oder wofür die Stadt bekannt ist

9.  Culture questions based on Landeskunde-Info assigned to read.

German 10C: 

Presentation topics.  Prepare a presentation of no shorter than 3 minutes' length.  You may have note cards with key words, but otherwise this is to be "presented" as in a conversation, rather than reading from something word for word: 

1.   Prepare a "tour" of your hometown or favorite city.  There will be a projector available with laptop attached, so you could bring photos on a flash drive and enhance the interest for your presentation.  

2.    Find a hotel in your favorite city in a German-speaking country and present the following:  

1. location
2. cost for single and double room 
3. what is included in the price 
4.  Amenities on-site 
5.  What you would visit in the vicinity, 
6.  Why did you choose this particular hotel?  What do you like about it? 

A. on page 263 has vocabulary to get you started.  You could include photos of the room, tourist sites, neighborhood, etc. on a flash drive and project to the class.
