Englisch lernen

This video was shared by another German teacher in our system:



I showed it to my students and they loved it.  I think I might show this at the beginning of German 1 next year as a jumping off point for our discussion on why people learn other languages.

Compound Nouns: Rabarbara

My German 2 students started learning about Compound Nouns this week.  After class today, one of my students showed me this video he found on Reddit - it goes great with our topic!  Thought I'd share :)

Just For Fun

Just a few pictures one of my students sent me from 9GAG.com, just for fun!  They're fun for the classroom - I printed them out and hung them up.  It definitely got the kids talking and laughing.

Perhaps not appropriate for Middle School levels, but my High Schoolers loved it.  Word play that even Level 1 students have the vocabulary to grasp and characters that the students might know from video games (Sniper, Spy and Medic from the game Team Fortress 2 - the Medic speaks German).

Good warning for kids - you can post this by your craft supplies.  Also a good cultural reference - the kids will want to know who's in the picture!

This was more fun during election time, but I brought it back out when we did Dative Prepositions at the end of the year.  Probably won't be current enough to use past this year...

Die Sprache der Liebe

A student sent me this video - it's funny/cute, though not necessarily classroom appropriate (there is an f-bomb)... Just for fun though! Enjoy!
