1. Cultural Topic Presentations

Using the screen-share function in Zoom, each group member should present in English their PowerPoint presentation on one of this week's cultural topics (Hauptstadt und Kulturstadt Berlin). Try to make your presentation interesting for your audience (i.e. don't read it). You do not have to submit your PowerPoint document, just use it in your recorded zoom meeting. (ca. 5-7 minutes per presentation).nal site.) 

2. Grammar Writing Task

In your ongoing Zoom conference, one group member will create a clean copy of the Group Activity Kapitel 8 Woche 9 Google Doc Worksheet 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 8 Week 9 grammar topics before doing this group work so that you are prepared to review your classmates' work and help each other correct any errors:     

• The Relative Pronoun "was"
• Polite Requests with the Subjunctive II

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).

3. Final Preparation Session for Kapitel 7 & 8 Online Skit
