Grammatik im Kontext, p. 300 

Read:  Expressing Comparisons: The Superlative, p. 300.  It is important to note that the use and formation of the superlative when expressing comparisons is NOT the same as using an attributive adjective in the superlative (see assignment below).  And, remember that you will not be using "mehr" as an equivalent to the English "most" when experessing a superlative comparison.  It is not used in German.  

P. 301, Übung 1, complete the table. 

Übung 2, prepare answers to Schritt 2 to do in class.  

Übung 3 will be done in class.  

Read: Read and study “Attributive Adjectives in the Comparative”, p. 302

Listen to Übung 4, p. 303

Note: the comparative functions, and is formed, much as in English, with similar exceptions. (i.e. the English good becomes better, similar to gut > besser)  The adjectives form endings according to the forms you learned in Kapitel 9.  It might be helpful to review those, as well.    
Write answers to Übung 5, p. 303.
