Time for German 103: Grimm German Grammar 4 - The Frog Prince and the Golden Ball

The classic fairy tale with a 'Time for German' twist. We join the Frog Prince, the Cheeky Golden Ball and their friends in the pond and we'll start practising our German using some new adjectives to describe and compare the characters. Students will be introduced to more adjectives throughout the course (while consolidating the old) and these will be used in more complex ways such as in the superlative (the strongest) and in showing equivalence (as strong as) and progression (stronger and stronger). We will complete the course with an epic adventure where the students and characters will attempt to get the golden ball home to the princess.

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 - Adjectives and the Comparative

Week 2 -  Super Superlatives

Week 3 - Equivalence and Progression

Week 4 - Time to Go Home

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.
