Hora de Alemán 103: Gramática Alemana de los Grimm 1 - Rutina y Conjunciones de Rapunzel

Time for German 103: Grimm German Grammar 1 - Rapunzel's Routine & Conjunctions

Part 1 of the 4-course 'Grimm German Grammar' series. With Rapunzel being trapped in the tower, we follow her daily routine while also learning to talk about our own daily routines. Students will develop this knowledge by creating complex sentences with more than one clause by using words such as 'danach', 'wenn', 'bevor' and 'während'. These conjunctions will then be combined with other activities outside of the tower while Rapunzel dreams of her freedom and then then course will end in an epic final lesson where all of your student's knowledge will be needed to help Rapunzel escape the tower and make it to her kingdom, all while overcoming the increasingly difficult challenges set by 'Mutter Gothel'. 

This course is for graduates of '101' and '102', but as the language taught is more in-depth, students will need to read and study the grammar and vocabulary before and after the class. A printable sheet containing all vocabulary for each lesson will be provided in the classroom a few days before each lesson starts so that the learning can continue outside of the classroom. Throughout my many years experience of teaching German, students have often said that my lessons were 'easy', despite the ambitious learning objectives of the lessons. In my previous school, I was the co-operative learning specialist and school lead, employing creative learning strategies and techniques to make my lessons more engaging, fun and co-operative. Throughout the course, I will use fun slides and activities to engage the students and learners will also be able to practise conversations with each other. The students will be asked to apply the vocabulary and sentence structures to their own lives (taking into account online safety of course) and I will ask lots of questions to build up the student's knowledge into functional sentences. Here are the lesson titles:

Week 1 - Daily Routine 

Week 2 - Conjunctions

Week 3 - Dreaming of Freedom

Week 4 - Time to Escape

Recommended course sequence:

***New to Time for German?***
If you have not done one of my previous 'Time for German' courses but still have a good grasp of basic German, then this course could still be for you. If you are willing to read the handouts and complete the provided activities, then please message me before enrolling and I will be able to advise whether '101', '102' or '103' would be suitable.

***Behaviour***
I have high expectations of behaviour. As an Outschool parent, I understand how frustrating it can be when one child spoils the lesson for the other children. I go over my expectations at the start of the lesson but my main rules are putting you hand up when you want to speak and not excessively playing with filters and emojis.
