- Class Description:
- Students in this course continue to improve their ability to communicate in German, deepen their understanding of German culture, and to explore how their study of German language and culture relates to other subject areas and their own personal interests. Topics discussed in this course include 1) Social Life: Where we live and what we like to do; 2) Travel: How, where and why we travel; 3) School, and then How young people decide what to do after high school; 4) Made in Germany: The success of the German economy. Each chapter includes a brief investigation into how the topic of sustainability relates to the unit content. By following this common thread throughout the semester, students will consider how German perspectives regarding the environment, economic justice, and social issues are reflected in daily life. So that students can read or listen to authentic texts about German culture as well as talk about their own experiences, this course helps students review and expand their knowledge of and ability to use vocabulary and grammar structures. Students participate regularly in conversational activities, small group work, internet research of cultural topics, interpreting video clips and short stories, and writing in various genres, such as a thank-you letter, resume, travel report, and personal history.
