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!
