German 1B/10B: Assignment for 5/5/15: Kapitel 7

10B students please note:  Looking at the calendar, I have decided that the 10B students will give their final presentations, as originally planned, on the evening of the scheduled final, 5/19.  10B students wll take the listening section with the 1B students, as usual, and then we will hold the presentations in another, nearby classroom.  I will have a laptop, if not a projector, for students who prepare some sort of Power Point presentation.  I will endeavor to have a laptop and projector that works (!), but cannot guarantee that.  The topics for this longer, final presentation, will be posted along with the assignment for next week.  

Begin (or continue) working on the workbook/lab manual for Kapitel 7.

P. 210, Thema 2: Hobbys ...

Study Neue Wörter, p. 210.  Wie verbringen Sie Ihre Freizeit?  Complete Schritt 1 to complete in class with Schritt 2. 

P. 211.  Listen to Akt. 3 and check the correct answers. 

Akt. 4: be prepared to do this in class.  Prepare a short list of 3-5 things that you like to do.  Add some other items to the short list in the book. 

Akt. 5 will be done in class. 

Listen to Akt. 6 and check the correct answers.  When something "stimmt nicht", jot down the correct answer.  

Grammatik im Kontext: 

P. 220: read about Strong Verbs.  Note that German strong verbs often parallel strong verbs in English, i.e., ones that have a vowel change (write > wrote, take > took, drink > drank).  While this knowledge does not necessarily  mean you can come up with the past participle for strong verbs just by guessing, at the very least, you will know that new verbs you encounter are not "weak" verbs. You will therefore not attempt to say:  Ich habe zu viel Bier getrinkt!  

P. 221, Übung 6.  Fill in the blanks.  The verbs with their past participles are listed on p. 220.

Übung 7, fill in the blanks with the correct past participle. 

P. 223: read about Mixed Verbs.  Write 4 sentences, one each, for bringen, denken, kennen and wissen in the past tense.  Tip:  You can say you are thinking about a certain person or thing or idea by using denken + an + accusative.  Try to work in a dative object, just for fun!

Read: The Use of Haben and Sein as Auxiliary, pp. 221-222.  

Übung 8: fill in blanks

P. 223.  Read about Mixed verbs 
  Pp. 223-224.  Read about Past Participles of Verbs with Prefixes.  

Übung 10, Schritt 1.  Complete the chart. 

Schritt 2: Write sentences for 1-5, per the example.  

P. 225, Übung 11: Complete the sentences with the correct past participle.  If you're unsure, look it up!  There is an Appendix in the back of the book with a list of common verbs and their principle parts, or you can look here, a good online dictionary.  

Übung 12 will be done in class.  Prepare to answer the question of "Was hast du letztes Wochenende gemacht?"
