German 1B/10B: Assignment for 2/17 and general test topics for test/presentation: Kapitel 4

Continue to work on and complete workbook/lab manual for Kapitel 4.  Make self-corrections using the key in a different color of ink.  These will be handed in on 2/17.  If you prefer to keep the workbook/lab manual pages in the book, please photocopy your work to hand in, as I do not collect the entire workbook, as you might have been used to doing in German 1A.

The first office hour will be held on 2/17 from 4:50-5:50 p.m. I will be in the teacher's prep room # 360 (Bartlett Building); call at 415-920-6018 to reach me.  (The door is locked).  If I do not answer, then I will be in the Media Lab in the Library, 4th Floor, Valencia Building.  

For 2/17:

Übung 14, p. 133, prepare to do in class.  

Thema 3: Kino, Musik und Theater, p. 121

Listen to the conversation between Jan and Ulla.  Study the "Neue Wörter" and check boxes to questions: Was siehst du gern?  Think of examples of films, stage productions and music that you like or would like to see and be ready to tell the class. 

Read Sprach-Info, p. 121. 

Read carefully Landeskunde-Info, p. 122.  What is your takeaway concerning cultural life in Germany after reading this? 

P. 122: Listen to Akt. 8 and select the correct answer.  

Akt 9, p. 123, will be done in class. 

Akt 10, p. 123 will be done in class.  Try to think of and write down for use some possible ways to accept or decline an invitation.  

Watch the video, p. 137.  It is accessible here where you access the lab manual audio.  
Remember: the user name is:  german  and the password is:  ccsf

Write answers for A, B, and C.  

P. 137: Lesen: Zum Thema.  Prepare answers for A and B.  

Study for test, Kap 4.  1B: See below for the general topics and the subject of the "Schreiben" section.  You will be able to prepare your vocabulary and gather your thoughts in advance, however, you will not be permitted to consult your notes during the test!  


10B: Here are the general topics that will be covered on the test for Kapitel 4 on 9/23:

1.  Listening section

2.  Identify times

3.  the imperative
4.  Describing activities using a time expression or adverb of time
5.  Modals, fill in the blanks

6.  Reading section and questions

7.  Was machst du am Wochenende? Write a short paragraph in German (50-60 words) in which you describe what you generally do over the weekend. Use the appropriate form of each of the modal verbs listed below at least once. (20 points)

dürfen                                       möchten                                      sollen
können                                      müssen                                        wollen

8.  A question on German culture, based on assigned reading of Landeskultur-Info.

For 10B students:

1. Listening section

2.  In lieu of the written part of the chapter test, prepare a short, 3 minute, oral presentation based on one of the following topics.  You will be assessed based on use of vocabulary and using at least 3 of the 6 modal verbs at least once:

dürfen  möchten   sollen

können  müssen   wollen

a.  Was machst du am Wochenende?  Wann machst du was?  Use at least three time designations of any sort that have been introduced in Kapitel 4, in addition to three of the modal verbs.  (see above, No. 7)

or

b.    Wie sieht dein Wochenplan aus?  (what is your weekly schedule like?)  Was machst du wann, wo, und warum?

You will give the brief presentation to the class, using props, if possible, to add interest and focus.  Or bring photos illustrating something you are referring to to show to the class.  After your presentation, 1 or 2 (depending on time) 1B student(s) will ask you a question pertaining to the presentation.

You are also welcome to take the grammar section of the test and I will correct it, though not grade it. This might be helpful for you to get a sense of how you are learning the material.  Otherwise, 10B students may leave after taking the listening section of the chapter test (and handing in the lab manual).
