German 2A/10C: Assignment for 2/22/16: Kapitel 8

Continue to work on the workbook/lab manual for Kapitel 8.  Be sure to self-correct workbook using the answer key.  Uncorrected workbooks will not be given credit.  

 No class on 2/15, so the class will next meet on 2/22.   Therefore, there is extra material assigned here, in order to stay on schedule.  

Note:  Items assigned for any given week that are not covered will be covered the following week.  There will be a test/presentation on 2/29.  10C students will first take the listening section of the written test, along with the 2A students.  Then, they will give their presentations in a nearby room, TBD.   The general topics for the test will be posted a week before, as well as the presentation topics.  There will be a written section that must be prepared at home and handed in with the test.  You can consult your textbook, vocabulary, etc. and come up with a very communicative, short essay.  

It is presumed that students are putting in 3 hours/week outside of class.   Seriously! 


Thema 2, p. 238:   

Study Wortschatz, Der Menschliche Körper, p. 238 
          Neue Wörter, p. 239 and 
          Wortschatz, pp. 258-259 

Make flashcards!  There is a lot of new vocabulary here with their respective der, die or das.  

Listen to "Ein Telefongespräch", p. 239, at least twice, thrice is even better, read along with the text and write/check answers for A, B

Akt 3, p. 240: Write 5 sentences, describing Christoph's story.  

Akt 4, p. 240.  Listen and number body parts referenced.  Aerobic exercise to this audio is optional!  

Read: Landeskunde-Info, p. 240 and be prepared to answer the two questions.  

P. 241: Akt. 5.  Listen x3 and note the correct responses. 

Read Sprach-Info.

Prepare to do Akt. 6 in class.  Review the "Beschwerden" and the "Ratschläge".  


Thema 3, p. 242.  

Review A and B and study  reflexive verbs and their use.  

Prepare Akt. 7 for review in class. 


Grammatik im Kontext, p. 248, Reflexive Pronouns and Verbs

Read this section carefully.  Note that the reflexive pronouns and verbs are used more extensively in German than in English.  Study especially the verbs that always and typically use an accusative reflexive pronoun, p. 249.  

Go here for a number of additional exercises with reflexive pronouns and sentences.  

Übung 8, p. 250, listen and mark the correct answer

Be prepared to answer the question:  Was findest du stressig?  Wie entspannst du dich? 

Read:  Verbs with reflexive pronouns in accusative or dative, p. 251.  Read carefully, bring questions to class if anything is not crystal clear!  Read also the two notes carefully. 

Übung 9, p. 251, write in correct reflexive pronouns 

Übung 10, p. 252: prepare and/or write your advice.  

Fitness Company Berlin:  Google Bewertung: Was sagen die Leute? 

Read the two reviews for "Fitness Company Berlin".  Apart from the 4-5 stars, how can you tell that these are positive reviews?  See if you can get the gist of what they're saying (without Google translate!)
