Y10 German Deutsche Spezialitäten Projekt

As part of our unit on "Food, Drinks and Shopping", we are going to research states of Germany (=Bundesländer) to find out what specialities they have. You will be assigned a Bundesland and have one spell in the library to find information on special foods and/or drinks in this area of Germany. You will have to take some notes and print out some pictures before the end of the library spell. Next lesson, you will then make a poster using your research material to show the speciality/specialities of your Bundesland to display in the classroom.

Y10 German Cartoon: So helfe ich

Task:
Make a cartoon about chores/helping at home based on the cartoon we read in class yesterday.

Instructions:
read through the cartoon from yesterday again
Go to www.dvolver.com
write up your own version of the cartoon. You can be creative, but you need to use the following language accurately (so be careful with verb endings and separable verbs):

einkaufen gehen to go shopping
das Auto waschen to wash the car
das Bett machen to make the bed
das Zimmer aufraumen to tidy up the room - note: aufraumen should have a umlaut on the second 'a' - this is not working in blogger, sorry! an alternative for it would be to write it like this: aufraeumen, just like in Frau Haefliger.
kochen to cook
abwaschen to wash the dishes
abtrocknen to dry the dishes

Viel Spass!
