Study for test, Kap. 8.  Use "Das kann ich nun" , p. 259 as a guideline.  

2A: Test: General topics covered: 

Listening section, "Gesundheit" oder "Fitness" 

Review vocabulary for Gesundheit/Fitness

Body parts - know plural forms

reading passage

Kultur section based on one of the assigned Landeskunde-Info paragraphs.

Schreiben:  To do at home to hand in:  50-60 word essay describing what you would do in order to get ready for a night out on the town.  Pay close attention to vocabulary, grammar, syntax, etc.  Use at least 5 reflexive verbs in your essay.    (20 points)  This may not be written in class during the test but rather prepared at home.  

Here is the topic: 

Es ist Freitag abend.  Du hast Pläne, mit dem Freund/Mann/der Freudin/Frau auszugehen.  Oder dich mit Freunden zu treffen.  Wie bereitest du dich vor (sich vorbereiten = to ready, prepare oneself).  Was mußt du alles machen, dich für einen schönen Abend fertig zu machen?  Benutzen Sie dabei mindestens 4 Reflexivpronomen.

10C: Presentation: 

Prepare a 3-minute presentation, with props, if possible, to make things more interesting on one of the following topics from Kapitel 8: 

1. Es ist Freitag abend.  Du hast Pläne, mit dem Freund/Mann/der Freudin/Frau auszugehen.  Oder dich mit Freunden zu treffen.  Wie bereitest du dich vor (sich vorbereiten = to ready, prepare oneself).  Was mußt du alles machen, dich für einen schönen Abend fertig zu machen?  Benutzen Sie dabei mindestens 4 Reflexivpronomen.

oder

2.  Was machst du, um fit zu bleiben?  Beschreiben Sie, was Sie alles machen.  Was essen Sie, um gesund zu sein?  Wie sieht Ihre tägliche Fitnessroutine aus?  Wo machen Sie das?  Zu Hause, im Fitnesscenter, im Park?  

10C students' presentation will be assessed and graded according to the following criteria: 

1.  Ease of expression (gets across idea fully, minimal hesitation) 
2. Complexity (of sentence structure) 
3. Accuracy (of grammar, including use of 4 reflexive verbs)
4. Vocabulary  (precise words for the situation or paraphrse) 
5. Pronunciation  (rhythm and intonation are good for this level). 

Students may use note cards to help them with their presentation but just reading from a prepared written document will reduce the points given.  It is best to practice this out loud, perhaps in front of an audience.   

As mentioned, there will be a laptop with LCD projector to use for either internet access or some other sort of presentation method (PowerPoint has been done to good effect in other classes).
