Was ist Typisch Deutsch?
School started this week on Wednesday. I'm always glad when we start with a short week because the first week is tiring for everyone. It went very well!
One of the activities I did with my German 2 classes was to watch the German in Me video from Easy German.
It was a nice way to engage the students in the target language without overwhelming them since there are German and English subtitles.
As we watched, students were asked to select one key German word for each typically German characteristic and to make some notes in English about what it meant:
We did one example together as a class:
We didn't have enough time to get through the whole video in either of my two German 2 classes, but we did get to several typisch Deutsch characteristics, and I think students were getting the hang of it. Definitely something to do again. I may turn this activity into an enrichment assignment for students who score 90% or better on the first test.
