German 2A/10C: Assignment for 4/25/16: Kapitel 10 /Topics for the Test/Presentation

Continue working on workbook/lab manual to hand in on 4/25.  Be sure to self-correct the workbook! 

Thema 2, p. 295: Listen to “Im Reisebüro”.  Study Neue Wörter and fill in blanks “Ergänzen Sie”. 

Read Sprach-Info, p. 296 

Read LandesKunde Info, p. 296 and prepare answers to the two questions 



Write answers to Aktivität 5, p. 296, based on Thema 2 Gespräch

Listen to Akt 6, p. 297 and write answers to Wie?, Wohin?, Warum?, Wie lange?
Prepare your own “Urlaub” to tell the class about: answer the questions wie, wohin, warum, wie lange?  und wie viel kostet das?  (this is for the students who did not have a prepared "Reise" on 4/11)   

Then, based on the “Urlaub” you planned, look at Akt. 7, be prepared to persuade a classmate to go on a trip with you. 


Watch the video, pp. 311-312.  Fill in the blanks for A and the chart in C.  

Grammatik im Kontext: 


Read and study, "The Past Perfect Tense", p. 311 and write answers to Übung 15.  
It is simply using the past tense of "haben" or "sein" and the past participle, which you already are familiar with.  To refresh your knowledge of the present perfect, see Kapitel 7, pp. 217-222.  Pay special attention to the note about "bevor" and "nachdem" and how they are used to connect sentences.   


P. 305: Adjectival nouns.  Read, study and fill in blanks for Übung 8.  Note that these are adjectives used as nouns, and as such, they take the adjective endings that you are already familiar with.  


Topics for the Test: 

1.  Listening section "Am Bahnhof." 


2.  Verkehrsmittel: fill in blank


3.  Two things you take on a trip to various locations (include articles)


4.  Fill in blanks: simple past, strong verbs and weak verbs.  Strong verbs: know the simple past for:  fliegen, kommen, schlafen, fahren, stehen, verstehen, verlieren, anfangen, gehen, lassen, sitzen, sprechen, finden.  

Know the formation of the simple past for weak verbs.  


5.  Fill in blanks: a) the superlative, b) adjective with comparative endings, c) adjectives with superlative endings. 


6.  Reading passage and questions


7.  Culture questions based on information in the "Urlaub"  Landeskunde-Info.  


8.  For the writing section. Again, this is to be done at home to turn in. It is worth 20 points. 

Here is the topic, which is slightly expanded from last week's assignment: 


Click here to go to the Deutsche Bahn website. Then: 
1.  Choose "Urlaub" from top row.  Click on "Städtereisen".


2.  Type in "Hamburg" as your "Reiseziel".  


3.  Choose the dates for two nights for one adult.  Click "Suchen".  


4.  You will see various options for accommodations in Hamburg.  Choose one and write 50-60 words sentences describing what this place offers.  What does it cost for the entire trip with train and hotel?  Note that you can set a filter for "Haustier erlaubt" and "WLAN kostenfrei" in the left side navigation bar.   What cultural amenities does the neighborhood around this hotel offer or in Hamburg generally?  Find a museum, a restaurant, a cafe that you find interesting and write a couple sentences about it.  Describe how you would get from the hotel to this place.    (20 points) 

10C:  Same as above, but prepare either to present using the projector and internet or otherwise. Please contact me if you would like to use the internet and projector.
