German 2A/2B Assignments. Note due dates for each one and whether they are to be submitted to Insight.

German 2A:  These assignments will be reviewed in class on 9/15.

Read “Kostbare Zeit”, p. 207, Answer A, listen to B and answer questions.
Hobbys und andere Vergnügungen, p. 210, read, study, learn

Write answers to Schritt 1 and be prepared to tell the class: "In meiner Freizeit ...."

Thema 1, p. 208, read and study, prepare answers to B.
Study, repeat, learn: Wortschatz, pp. 232-233 
Write Akt. 1.
Read Sprach-Info, p. 210

Akt. 2 will be done in class, prepare.

Listen to Akt. 3 and 6, p. 211 and follow instructions

Akt. 4 will be done in class. 

Read Landeskunde-Info, p. 223 and prepare answers to the questions. 

Read, study, familiarize yourself with "Das Wetter", bottom of p. 212.  


THEMA 2: 

Prepare 5-6 answers to Akt. 4 to complete in class as a conversation.  Try using some new verbs and look up with past participle.   . 

Study Wortschatz, p. 232-233

Grammatik im Kontext: 

Read and study:  The Present Perfect Tense, p. 217-218 + Analyse

Read and study: Strong Verbs, p. 220

Read "The Use of haben or sein as auxiliary", pp. 221-222.  Note, especially, that the majority of verbs will use "haben" + past participle in the present perfect tense.  Note that "sein" is used with verbs that indicate movement from one place to another: gehen and fahren, for example.   Another category of verbs that take "sein" are those that show a change in condition by showing a transition from one state of being to another or if they indicate a process.  Got that?  Here's an example: 

First state of being             Transition                New state of being

ich bin wach (awake)         ich schlafe ein         ich schlafe 

Thus, "einschlafen" requires "sein" in the present perfect, as it indicates a change in condition:  Ich bin eingeschlafen.  We will discuss this very engaging concept further in class. 

2A will meet in class, so we will cover this material on 9/15, but when you do submit your assignments in Insight, you may either type them directly into the text box or as Word documents that you have created.  Please identify the exercises.  To make characters (umlauts, etc.) in Insight, click on the "Omega" symbol.  In Word, go to "insert" tab and then "symbol".  

Write answers to Übung 4, p. 219

Write answers to Üb 6, p. 221.  Übung 7 will be done in class.  

Übung 8, write down 1-8, correct answers only. 

Read: "Expressing Comparisons", p. 226.  Note especially the note re common adjectives and adverbs with irregular forms, such as gern > lieber, etc. 

Übung 13, p. 227.  Write answers only.  Use the map in the Analyse, p. 227 as your reference. 


If you look on the right sidebar of this blog, you will see some useful links.  Check out Audacity for listening and recording your voice while practicing your German as you do the lab manual exercises, as well as a link to CCSF Insight, which you will be using on a weekly basis to participate in the "Forums".   Begin this week (9/9) with the first Forum.  You do not need to reply to three people this time, just post your response.  


German 2B:  Note to students:  This assignment is to be submitted via your Insight account.* Look at the Week of 9/8-9/14 for the link to post your assignment.  It will be due on 9/16.  I will review and post comments if I see any "trouble spots".  Assigned activities will also be done "live" in class on 9/22.  There will be another assignment for the week of 9/15-21, which will be reviewed in class.  * You may also email me the completed assignments as a Word doc to lpahl@ccsf.edu.
