Gruppenarbeit Kapitel 6 Woche 4

Arrange a time and meet with all your group members in Zoom and record this group work which should take ca. 20-30 minutes if everyone is prepared.

Choose one group member to create and host the Zoom conference, and the rest of the group will join the conference.

Instructions for creating/hosting, joining, and recording your Zoom conference are below.

Objective

Analyze Ordinal Numbers, Special Forms of Adjectives and Adjectival Nouns, and the N-Declension orally and in writing by creating accurate statements in German that use these structures.

Overview

Group Activity Week 4 deals with Ordinal Numbers, Special Forms of Adjectives and Adjectival Nouns, and the N-Declension. There are two separate activities this week:

1. Grammar Writing Task

In your ongoing Zoom conference, one group member will create a clean copy of the Group Activity Kapitel 6 Woche 4 Google Doc Worksheet Links to an external site. (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.) and share it with the rest of the group (to do so, one group member will click Share at the top right of the document, then type in their group members names and click Done). The group will then complete this shared worksheet together during the meeting so that your instructor can assess your individual preparedness and collaborative effort (see grading rubric below).

Review the Kapitel 6 Week 4 grammar topics before doing this group work so that you are prepared to review your classmates' work and help each other correct any errors:     

• Special Adjective Forms
• Ordinal Numbers
• Adjectival Nouns
• n-Declension

Use this Grammar Cruncher for this chapter to access chapter vocabulary, forms, and English definitions:

Students should do their best in their sentences to practice the 1st person (ich, wir), 2nd person (du, ihr, Sie), and 3rd person forms of verbs.

If you are assigned to ask questions in a given exercise, practice here as well using 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person perspectives, switching as logically needed when using 1st and 2nd person forms, for example: answer a “du” question with “ich”; an "ich" question with "du" or "Sie"; an “ihr” question with “wir”; a "wir" question with " ihr" or "Sie" or even "wir" (assuming other than the questioner in a given collective has the answer!); etc. Try to use as many different words and combinations as possible. 

Check all of your work as a group for correctness!

When you are finished, designate a group member to save the Google Doc Worksheet with all your individual work in it and upload it into this assignment before the deadline (it will be most practical and straightforward if the meeting host does this).

2. Initial Preparation for Kapitel 6 Online Skit

Click here for the information about Online Skits.

Each member of the group should participate knowledgeably, actively, and constructively, enabling progress to be made in this planning session such that the completion of a coherent and entertaining Online Skit for your group should be possible without great difficulty in the final groupwork session next week when the Skit will be due. "Progress" ideally means the definition of a situation for the final version of the skit, as well as approximate definitions of what roles the different group members will be playing in it, approximately what they will be saying, and which backgrounds you will be using depending on your Skit format and concept. 

You can share and use your Chapter 6 Online Skit Worksheet (Links to an external site.) Links to an external site. to preserve this preparatory work for next time.
