There will not be a final test for this unit. Instead, there will be several short quizzes and three graded projects - an audio recording with sound effects, a description of yourself, and your flashcards which you will turn in at the end of this unit.

The instructions and procedures will be similar for all episodes: 1. get the worksheets from our website, 2. look at the picture on your worksheet, 3. be able to answer the general questions under the picture (A - C/D) orally, 4. listen to the episode, 5. answer the questions about the episode in writing (also the ones marked with an *).

A. Welche Personen wirst du hören?

B. Wann könnte diese Szene spielen?

C. Was könnte passieren?

2. Leo fragt Nina, was sie in ihrer Freizeit macht. Was machst du gern?

3. Ein bißchen Grammatik - Word Order

Please go to our website and watch Flash Clip Word Order.

Fill in the blanks below as you are watching.

1. Normal word order in English or German is:

Examples:

2. QuestionsEinheit 2: Keine Panik Seite 26

In a German question, the goes after the .

In some English questions it does, too:

(Hast du Tintenfisch gegessen?)

(Kannst du Polka tanzen?)

(Bist du verrückt?)This principle - subject goes after the verb in a question - always applies to German:

Do you Yahoo?

Does Britney Spears sing?

3. Two-part VerbsWhen the verb phrase in a German sentence consists of two parts, the second part goes to the

of the sentence.

Examples: Ich das verflixte Buch nicht !

Warum Elvis nicht ?

Mama, Ludwig mein Make-up !

4. Inverted Word Order

Your normal word order in a German sentence is Subject - Verb - Other Stuff. What happens when you start a German sentence with “Other Stuff” instead of the subject?

Two English examples for this word order:

a)

b)

Please circle the subject and the verb in the English sentences above.

You don’t have too many instances of this kind of word order in English, but in German this is a rule that always applies:


Examples:

Vor dem Kino steht eine Schlange.

Am Schalter sagt Thomas: ...

In Folge 11 of 'Keine Panik' you hear these sentences:

Nina: Dann muß ich nach Hause....Leo: Schön sieht sie aus mit den nassen Haaren.

Nina: Jetzt sehe ich natürlich aus wie eine nasse Ratte.

a) Circle the first word in each sentence above, then find the subject in each sentence and draw a box around it.

b) Let's practice this concept with some sentences from Folge 11. Rewrite the sentences by starting each sentence with the underlined word(s):

Ein Regentropfen hängt an ihrem Ohr.

Ich bringe dich dann jetzt nach Hause.

Ich könnte ihr dann den Arm um die Schulter legen.

Ich finde Kino gut.

Lektion 11a - Verb Kickers

Look at this sentence from Folge 11:

Du mußtest auch lachen, als ich dich gefragt habe, ob du Lust hast, ins Kino zu gehen.

Circle the words "als" and "ob". These words are officially called "subordinating conjunctions", but I like the term "verb kickers" better, because they kick the verb to the end of the clause. Find the verbs that belong to "als" and "ob" and draw a box around them.

Look at the sentences below and connect them with the verb kicker in brackets.


Der Diskjockey hat den Kanarienvogel erschossen. Der Kanarienvogel wusste zu viel.(weil)

Nina muss nach Hause. Es ist schon ein Uhr. (weil)

Nina denkt, Leo will nicht mit ihr tanzen. (dass)

Leo glaubt, sein Vater wird böse sein. (dass)

4. Project Two - Steckbrief

Here is the second project for this unit (remember: there will not be a final test, instead I will give grades for three projects). I want you to write a description of yourself - auf Deutsch, natürlich!

a) To give you some ideas, I would like you to look at three of our former German III students.

Please go to our website and read the Steckbriefe of Mari, Ryan and Linda. Answer these questions:

1. Wie sieht Mari aus? (aussehen - to look like)

2. Wo wohnt Mari?

3. Was für Hobbys hat Ryan?

4. Wie beschreibt Ryan seinen Charakter?

5. Woher kommt Linda?


6. Welche Fächer (subjects) hat Linda an ihrer Schule?

b) Now think about how you could describe yourself in German. I would like for you to include information on the following items:

Name

wie alt?

wo wohnst du?

Wie kannst du deinen Charakter beschreiben? Bist du *schüchtern, kontaktfreudig (=social), aufgeschlossen (=open), gern allein, *freundlich, nett, sexy, *gutaussehend (=good looking), intelligent, *fleißig, faul, lustig,* ruhig, tolerant, kritisch?

Was machst du gern in deiner Freizeit?

Was magst du (oder magst du nicht) an deiner Schule?

Was wirst du nach der Schule machen?

c) Now write your Steckbrief. To do that please go to our website to the "Quizzes and Test" module and find the "Steckbrief." Please proof your Steckbrief carefully. Checkfor: adjective endings, verb endings, word order.

Criteria for grading your Steckbrief will be:Vocabulary - try to not to use the same words over and overStructure - please do not just line up short "subject - verb - object" sentences. Connect some sentences with "und, oder, aber" etc. and use some "verb kickers" like "weil" and "dass" (watch out for word order with these), and vary your word order (start some sentences with something other than the subject - watch word order!)


Length - your Steckbrief should be at least 80 words and not more than 120 words.Grammar - please proof your Steckbrief carefully. If you have questions, call us!

Go to ‘Quizzes’, find ‘Steckbrief’ and write your Steckbrief online.

Vater:

Leo:

Vater:

2. Ein paar Vokabeln

a) In the second part of Folge 12 Leo uses the word "doch" several times. There is not really an English equivalent. Germans use "doch" as a positive answer to a negative statement or question, as in:

Das ist kein Problem. - Doch, das ist ein Problem. or Das ist doch ein Problem.

You can also use "doch" in a negative statement or question when you really know that the answer is positive, like Leo's father is doing:


Du willst doch nicht sagen, dass du mein Auto ruiniert hast?

Das darf doch nicht wahr sein! (Es ist aber wahr.)

Das gibt es doch nicht!

b) In the puzzle below find the German equivalents for the English words. The numbered letters form a German word for a tool to use with touch-up paint on a car.

Bauernfrühstück

Für eine Person:2 mittelgroße Kartoffeln1/2 Zwiebel1/2 Tasse Schinken, in kleine Würfel geschnitten3 EierSalz und Pfeffer

Die Kartoffeln schälen und in Scheiben schneiden. Die Zwiebel und den Schinken klein schneiden. Etwas Margarine in eine Pfanne geben und schmelzen lassen. Die Zwiebeln und den Schinken etwa 2 - 3 Minuten in der Pfanne braten. Dann die Kartoffelscheiben dazu geben und umrühren. Einen Deckel auf die Pfanne geben und die Kartoffeln braten, bis sie weich sind (etwa 10 Minuten). Zwischendurchumrühren, damit die Kartoffeln nicht anbrennen.

Etwas Salz und Pfeffer dazugeben, wenn die Kartoffeln weich sind. Die Eier in einer Schüssel verrühren und mit Salz und Pfeffer würzen. Die Eier über die Karfoffeln gießen und fest werden lassen (ein paarmal umrühren).

Guten Appetit!
