Expectations & Strategies

Expectations:

You will treat yourself and others with kindness, gentleness and respect.
You will treat your own property and the property of others with kindness, gentleness and respect.
You will bring paper and pencil every day.
You will participate in all learning activities which the teacher deems appropriate for building your skill in the language.
You will study the language at least ten minutes a day on your own.
You will come with the attitude that learning can be fun.
You will know that sometimes learning must also be work.

Strategies:

Classroom folder: used for turning in assignments. I will supply you with a list of assignments each week so that you can be sure you are keeping up.
Storytelling: we will learn to understand, tell, and create and present short stories (mini-Geschichten) as one powerful way to learn a lot of language fast and naturally.
Partnerarbeit: we will do many short partner speaking activities to help us practice speaking the language without having to be perfect for the class right away.
Musik: we will listen to German songs to augment our knowledge of German vocabulary, grammar, culture and to add to our enjoyment.
Geh Angeln, Konzentration, und andere Spiele: we will play games at times as a way to help us learn new vocabulary or grammar. These are learning activities. I expect you to participate and have fun, but to realize that you are still doing classwork.
Written Work: either assigned from the book, the workbook or from worksheets which I have created.
Miscellaneous: trust that I am always trying to find exactly the right way for you to gain the skill you need to learn best.
